76% of people who search “near me” visit a place within 24 hours.

For decades, the first impression was the wall and the front gate. Today it’s a rectangle on a map: photo, rating, number of reviews and hours.

46% of Google searches are local, and 76% of people who search “near me” visit within 24 hours

46% of all Google searches have local intent. 76% of people who search “near me” visit a place within the next 24 hours. And the “map pack” shows three results: being there multiplies calls and visits compared with everyone else.

For decades, a school’s first impression was its wall, its front gate, its reception desk. Today it’s a rectangle on a map: cover photo, rating, number of reviews and hours. For schools, the Google Maps profile is often the first point of contact with parents, and almost no one at the institution manages it.

Search “private schools in [your area]” right now. Does your school show up? With photos from this year?

Enrollment X-Ray

And your school — where does it stand?

These figures come from 102 sessions like the one you can have. In an Enrollment X-Ray we put your institution’s admissions numbers in order, and you walk away with a PDF of the ones that matter most.

  • Your occupancy, conversion and cost per student, against your peers
  • How much money you leave on the table every cycle, in numbers
  • What to change first, in order

No commitment. We work with owners and directors of private schools and universities. Sessions are held in Spanish.
