Frequently Asked Questions about Google Ads for Colleges

Targeted Google Ads campaigns enable colleges to connect with their ideal audience effectively. By refining demographics, geographic locations, and specific interests, we ensure that your ads are seen by those most likely to engage and enrol.

There is no direct link between organic rankings and having a paid Google Ads account.

However, there are several benefits to consider:

  1. Customers often cross between channels when discovering your brand and when they’re searching for the product or service that you sell. Being present in both organic search and in paid search can have a significant impact on overall performance
  2. Many of the optimisation techniques used for Schools SEO equally support the Google Ads Quality Score (page speed, page relevance etc.) and as such, it is likely that such investment would benefit both Google Ads performance and SEO performance.

Google Ads offer numerous advantages for colleges, including increased online visibility, boosted website traffic, enhanced engagement with prospective students and parents, and improved enrollment numbers. 

Yes, our team will provide you with regular reports of the progress of your Google Ads campaigns and you’ll have access to our project management system as well as direct access to your own Google Ads account, of course.

Within each Google Ads campaign, you can set a daily budget which is then averaged over a monthly period. The actual spend can fluctuate from day to day, but Google should never spend more than that monthly budget.

How much you will need to pay for each click will depend on the auction which runs every time a user searches Google. Whilst you can set a maximum cost per click (depending on your Bid Strategy), the actual cost required for each click will depend on the level of competition for each search term or keyword, in that user’s location.

At Tillison Consulting, we understand the importance of maximising your advertising budget. We employ advanced targeting techniques, strategic bid management, and ongoing performance analysis to optimise your Google Ads campaigns for efficiency and effectiveness.

While Google Ads directly influence paid search results, they can indirectly benefit SEO efforts as well. Increased website traffic generated through Google Ads can contribute to improved organic search rankings over time.

The rank (position) your Google Ads achieve for each keyword is dependent on an auction every time a user searches Google.

Ad rank is a factor of financial bid x quality score – therefore a higher quality score should increase ad rank and/or decrease the average cost you pay for each click.

There are multiple factors which make up the Google Ads Quality Score, such as;

  1. Ad relevance to the search term used on Google by your customer
  2. Landing page relevance to the search term – Google crawls your landing pages to check this regularly
  3. The customer experience on your website – fast page load times, content layout and other factors
  4. Your Historic Click Through Rate (CTR) for the keyword and the associated ad.
