Online Reputation Management Training for Schools

Did you know?

According to a recent study, schools with a positive online reputation enjoy a 5-8% higher enrollment rate year over year compared to those schools with a less than favorable page one reputation. In fact, half of consumers 18 to 45 rely on online reviews and news more than referrals from friends or family.  Whether a charter school, private school or public school, this is a must to protect and grow your online reputation.

Would-be students and their parents will conduct an online search of the name and location of your school. Even stakeholders regularly search the school online for routine information. If they find less than flattering critiques or unfavorable news stories, your school is losing enrollment opportunities.

For those schools not actively managing their online image, their future is in the hands of the nameless, faceless reviewers whose complaints aren’t always justified. Even if their gripes are legitimate, the reviews and news stories-and their harmful effects—can linger long after your school has corrected the issue.

Online Reputation management training puts the power over your school’s image back where it belongs – in your hands.
