Goal
Columbia University wanted to increase online awareness of their residential and online Master of Social Work programs while driving more prospective student leads and enrollments.
Our strategy
“Higher education has a long sales funnel. Find out how to get the best marketing return on it.”
Eric Yarnik
Director, Search & Social Advertising
The Perfect Search team acted as digital marketing consultants while Columbia reworked and consolidated two of their social work sites to one domain.
We updated meta data site-wide, disavowed faulty backlinks, maintained site health, and provided SEO-informed suggestions on the new site’s design, layout, and content.
After the new site launch, Perfect Search has continued to provide comprehensive SEO services to the consolidated site. From content updates to technical check-ups, our optimizations helped grow the consolidated site’s organic traffic.
Results
“We know we can trust them to ensure our digital strategy is top notch.”
Mary Lea Awanohara
Director of Marketing, Columbia University School of Social Work
