Have you got more
questions before we start?
How do I get student leads from my listing?
Each listing includes inquiry forms and contact options that connect students directly with your team. You’ll receive qualified leads, including the student’s information and the programs they are interested in, into our Keystone Hub platform. You can also integrate your listings with platforms like Unibuddy for real-time student engagement.
How do Listings help with SEO and online discoverability?
Each listing is optimized for organic search, and your online profile is structured and optimized to rank highly in search engines like Google, Baidu, Bing, and Yandex. This means our websites rank highly in search results when students are searching for program subjects.
How do I manage my listings?
You’ll use Keystone Hub, a centralized portal to monitor your institution’s profile and program listings. You can preview how each listing looks in different markets and update content anytime, publishing changes in real-time.
Are the listings translated into other languages?
Yes. Listings are automatically localized and translated into multiple languages, so students can read about your programs in their native language, making it easier to promote your university globally.
I only want to recruit students locally. How are domestic institutions supported?
Listings aren’t just for international recruitment. For example, U.S. institutions also benefit from exposure to North American students, with listings tailored to domestic search trends and regional interests, thereby boosting visibility across both audiences. We can also work with you to identify growth geographic markets, where your listing is visible, and turn off your listing in any markets where you don’t want to recruit students from.
Can I promote individual programs or just full degrees?
Yes, you can promote individual programs, full degrees, short courses, or online certificates. Whether you're advertising a new MBA, an online psychology course, or a full undergraduate program, Listings are flexible to meet your goals.
