“Tillison provided technical expertise and immediate support in an area of work that we were unable to support internally at that time. Getting this element of our online presence up to speed has made a significant impact on our online presence and improved our own understanding of this element of 'marketing'. The team were professional, efficient and readily able to explain what they were doing, why and the impact it would have.”

“Open-day numbers are really strong! Around double of what we had last year for Windsor, and the others are looking very positive too.”

“We had a very successful event on Saturday, 125 attendees compared with 107 at our last face-to-face event in 2018 which had been our most successful to date, which is a great result.”

"Working with Tillison Consulting to increase our local visibility has been a great experience, we have seen significant results in just a short space of time and would recommend their services to any school looking to increase their brand awareness."

Frequently Asked Questions about Google Ads for Colleges

What are College SEO services?

College SEO services are a number of techniques used to improve your rankings for local searches.

These could include Google Business Profile optimisation, Citation management, Reputation monitoring, Local PR coverage, Mobile Optimisation and Content creation.

All of these combined, with solid technical SEO, will help your college rank higher in the search engine results and in the local pack.

What is College SEO and why do I need it?

College SEO is a search engine optimisation strategy used to increase search engine rankings for College websites.

If you search for “college near me” and Google shows search results which typically include a Google Maps Pack which includes a list of practices then your business can benefit from Schools SEO.

How do you do keyword research for a College?

Keyword research for a College reveals the search terms users use to find colleges like yours and courses they’re interested in, along with data suggesting how many searches there are for those terms.

What is the difference between SEO and Local SEO?

SEO is a strategy to earn organic traffic and visibility on a national and global scale, whereas local SEO is an attempt to earn this visibility in a certain location.

Google indexes information about local businesses and presents them above the organic search results. This is called the maps pack and it is a great way to attract patients in the local area.

Both use many of the same techniques but Local SEO uses extra techniques such as Google Business Profile Optimisation, attracting reviews and building local citations.

What is Google Business Profile?

Google Business Profile is a free tool which Colleges can use to manage their online presence on Google Maps and Search.

Colleges can add all their essential information including opening hours, business description and business contact detail (NAP), areas you serve, your business category, photos, posts about updates, deals and events.

Google uses the information in your Google Business Profile and from pages on your site to rank your business for related local searches.

Having a Google Business Profile also allows visitors to contact you or request directions at the click of a button from mobile or desktop.
