> DISCOVERABILITY & EFFECTIVE CONTENT MATTER TO YOU… EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY

People are searching online right now for a Nursery, School, College or University like yours… for what you offer… but are they finding you? (Or your competitors?)

And what is their experience when they do find you and visit your web presence?

Online content and search results are vitally important to successful pupil/student recruitment, admissions and enrolment…

>> Is your web content great?

• Is your online content current, informative, consistent, representative… is it engaging, ‘sticky’, personalised, appropriate?

• Does the tone and style of your web content fully reflect your Nursery, School, College or University?

• Would a more intuitive format for your content, attuned to the needs of your visitors and better designed for the devices they use to access the web, result in a higher response and ‘conversion’ rate?

>> How highly does your institution/organisation rank in search engines, in social networks, on channels and platforms? Are you widely mentioned and recommended online?

• Are you ‘winning’ with Google, Bing & Yahoo and other search engines?

• Are you frustrated that your competitors are more discoverable than you… for the type, choice and style of education you offer and to the audiences you want to reach?

• Will prospective pupils/students, parents and key influencers find you when searching online… if they don’t know you?

> WHY ATTEND?

Take time out of your busy schedule to pause, reflect and learn… attending these inexpensive 1-day conferences delivered by industry experts will give you and your colleagues relevant information, skills and tips that will make a real difference to what you do online (and how you do it) over the next academic year, and the success you achieve.

With digital becoming the ‘mainframe’ of every Education marketing, admissions and communications strategy it is essential we review what we are doing, benchmark, implement best practice and constantly refresh our online presence… especially if we want:

• to stand out in a crowded digital world,

• to exploit the massive growth in the use of mobile devices and communications,

• to beat our competitors in search engine ranking,

• to avoid Google penalties for misuse etc etc.

Whatever you currently spend on advertising your institution/organisation it is highly likely you are already missing out on prospective pupils/students, their parents and key influencers who would have found you without the advertising spend IF your web presence was better optimised. And what about when they do find you? How well does your online content serve them and you?

These two 1-day conferences will address the most important questions you and your colleagues should be asking:

>> How to ensure your digital content is effective…

• …in presenting (and representing) your institution online to your target audiences?

• …at exciting, informing and engaging those target audiences?

• …in achieving your ‘conversion’ goals (such as open day attendance, prospective requests, admissions enquiries and registrations, enrolments, improved communications with your community etc)?

• …at encouraging sharing, peer recommendation, contributors and endorsements etc?

>> How to ensure your institution is found by your target audiences, such as prospective pupil/students, prospective parents, key influencers, alumnae and other members of your community… locally, nationally and internationally?

Investing time and effort now in making your content as engaging and discoverable as possible makes total sense in a digital world where your target audiences, just like you, use online search and recommendation to find what they are looking for hour by hour, day by day.

We see this as a vital area often over-looked and under-appreciated by many Nurseries, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other Education and Training organisations…

You have probably had little training in copy writing and content production and curation for the web and yet it is probably one of your main responsibilities…

Meantime competitors are investing in the necessary knowhow and skills to achieve a higher profile (and therefore a much greater reach) in Google, Bing and other search engines, and across networks, channels and platforms.

We have therefore developed these inexpensive, practical 1-day conferences (packed with insights, tips and techniques and practical solutions) to help you be found online and to improve your online presence. Book your places now for London!

> ‘GREAT CONTENT’ 1-DAY CONFERENCE

[BOOKING FORM] [PAY ONLINE]

> FORMAT

1-day Conference with expert speakers giving keynote presentations and breakout sessions, and networking opportunities with fellow practitioners.

> WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

Content is crucial to the success of any website… for winning, retaining and ‘converting’ visitors. First impressions matter, but it is the content of a website that will engage your target audiences, prompt enquiry and keep them coming back for more.

Advertising is expensive and driving traffic to your website is just half the battle. What happens when they get there? Do they bounce away? Exiting your site within seconds?

Curating original, informative, relevant, topical and varied content… that answers the needs of your target audiences …that is formatted correctly for devices, for platforms, for sharing… that reflects your institution/organisation in tone and style… requires significant investment but the rewards are substantial.

What does it take:

• to capture the attention of your visitors?

• to convince visitors to invest time in learning more about you?

• to excite visitors about your Nursery, School, College or University enough to connect with you, to enquire, to enrol?

Over this 1-day conference our expert speakers will share insights, best practice, tips and techniques addressing a range of key topics, themes and questions, including:

• How to identify and meet the needs of your target audiences.

• The best ways to generate new content from different contributors.

• Copy writing for the web.

• How to utilise analytics and other digital tools for content generation.

• What can be learned from competitors and from best practice in other sectors?

• What role does social media play?

• How can you ensure and maintain quality and consistency?

• How can you disseminate your content, grow your online authority and develop authoritative links?

• How should you develop your Content Marketing strategy for long-term benefit?

(If you have any questions or want more detailed information on any aspect of the programme please email us.)

> THE ‘GREAT CONTENT’ CONFERENCE PROGRAMME

The ‘Great Content’ for Education Conference will take place from 0915 to 1700 on Monday 7 March 2016 at the RAF Museum in London, in the Lecture Theatre and Dermot Boyle Wing.

Registration will remain open all day for late arrivals and you will be free to join the event at any time (people arriving late will be seated at the back of the room).

The keynote presentations and breakout sessions will be practical, with relevant examples, advice and tips you can take away and implement at your institution.

[BOOKING FORM] [PAY ONLINE]

> FORMAT

1-day Conference with expert speakers giving keynote presentations and breakout sessions, and networking opportunities with fellow practitioners.

> WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

THE PROBLEM:

If your website does not rank in the top 10 search engine results for all the main search terms your target audience(s) are using… many prospective pupils/students, prospective parents and key influencers will never find you… and never even consider you.

There are potential students and key influencers (parents, guidance counsellors, agents etc) looking for you every day… they just don’t know it!

As a result they fail to find you because other education and/or training providers (your ‘competitors’) have a higher profile and greater authority against the search terms your target audiences are using.

Ranking well for some search terms but not others is not good enough.

Failure to rank highly for all major search terms related to the type and style of Education or Training you offer, your location, your facilities etc means lower enquiries and missed enrolments…

THE SOLUTION:

All those responsible for communications at your institution or organisation should learn how to improve your search engine ranking and to raise your institution/organisation’s profile for maximum exposure to prospective pupils/students, prospective parents and other key influencers.

But… incase you, your manager or senior leadership still need convincing this is a day you cannot miss, we hope the following will help:

1) DISCOVERABILITY COMES FIRST – being found online is fundamental to your pupil/student recruitment and admissions. With billions of online searches in the UK each month (never mind internationally) no institution or organisation can afford to ignore the growth of search engines and their influence… where do you turn when you want information?

2) UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR TARGET AUDIENCES SEARCH – the issue is not whether people who know you will find you by name but whether all those who don’t know you will find you when searching with non-specific key terms.

3) THINK MOBILE, THINK LOCAL – mobile search has grown massively with almost all mobile users seeking local information on their smartphone. Whether your target audiences are searching for you internationally, regionally or locally, SEO matters.

4) LEARN TO EXTEND YOUR REACH (REGIONALLY, NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY) – learn the techniques Search Engine Optimisation professionals use to ensure website content is found by audiences further afield – whether you are concerned with prospective pupils/students and their parents moving into the area, key influencers advising them, or those looking for residential/boarding or international student educational opportunities.

5) BENEFIT FROM CONTINUOUS LEARNING – attending this Conference will benefit your own professional development and your institution, whether you are new to SEO or experienced in the basic implementation of SEO good practice. Over the intensive day you will learn what you should be doing, how to do it, what works and what doesn’t work for long-term benefit, as well as meeting other Education marketing, admissions and communications practitioners for networking and bench marking.

(If you have any questions or want more detailed information on any aspect of the programme please email us.)
