FAQs
Digital marketing in education is the use of SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, content, and website strategies to attract, engage, and enroll students through online platforms.
Through a mix of SEO, Google Ads, Facebook/Instagram ads, website optimization, and CRM systems.
By building awareness via Google Search/YouTube ads, running lead generation on Facebook/Instagram, strong SEO blogs, and retargeting users until conversion.
By combining local SEO, Google lead ads, website improvements, and remarketing strategies customized per audience.
Stratos Digital is built on honest practices, real results, and deep experience specifically for education brands.
Because 90%+ of students today first search online before selecting a school, college, or course.
Focusing on long-tail keywords, city-based pages, FAQs, scholarships, fee structures, and admission processes.
For schools and colleges: Rs. 150 - Rs. 400 per lead. For executive courses and universities: Rs. 500 - Rs. 1200 per lead.
By running admission campaigns, success stories, faculty interviews, and course highlights through Instagram Reels, Facebook posts, and WhatsApp engagement.
Outsourcing to trusted experts like Stratos Digital saves cost, accelerates growth, and provides access to advanced tools and techniques.
Depending on goals, monthly budgets start as low as INR 25,000 for lead generation campaigns.
It’s a result-focused strategy where every rupee spent on SEO or ads is tied to a measurable output like inquiries, downloads, or admissions.
A poor website loses 70% of prospects. Mobile-first, fast, clear websites boost inquiries by 2-3X.
Digital marketing covers all brand-building activities. Performance marketing focuses solely on leads, conversions, and measurable ROI.
Through metrics like cost-per-lead (CPL), conversion rates, click-through rates, admission rates, and ROI reports.
In today’s competitive education sector, marketing has shifted from “good to have” to “must have.” If your institution or EdTech platform is not present actively and authentically online, you’re leaving enrollments and revenue on the table.
Stratos Digital is here to bridge that gap — through trust, skill, experience, and relentless focus on your success.
