The challenge

Why schools stall

The problems we see again and again in this industry, and the ones we fix first.

Barrier 01

A shrinking pool

US high school graduates peaked in 2025 and are projected to fall 13% by 2041. Every school is competing for fewer students.

Barrier 02

Outcomes nobody sees

Completion, licensing and placement data sit in spreadsheets instead of on the homepage.

Barrier 03

Inquiries that go cold

Most inquiries arrive after hours. Without a CRM and fast follow-up, students enroll somewhere else.

FAQ

Trade school marketing FAQ

Straight answers to the questions owners ask us before they hire an agency.

What does Workforce Pell mean for trade school marketing?

Starting July 1, 2026, Pell Grants can cover eligible short programs of 150 to 599 clock hours. Programs must meet completion and job-placement thresholds, so publishing your outcomes clearly becomes both a compliance story and your strongest marketing message.

Do you market preschools too?

Yes. Preschool marketing is about trust and the tour. We build sites, local SEO and inquiry follow-up for parents, as we did for ABS French Preschool.

Which channel brings the most enrollments?

For most schools, local search and Google Ads bring the highest-intent inquiries, and a fast CRM follow-up turns them into tours. Social builds awareness for programs people don’t search for yet.

Can you work with our existing website?

Yes. We start with an audit. If the site is holding you back, we rebuild on WordPress; if not, we optimize what you have.
