The blind spot

What's actually happening

Enquiry to enrolment takes a full admissions cycle, and a student enrolled once pays tuition for years. Neither fits any attribution window.

What you get

Built for Private Schools.

Enrolments and tuition, not enquiries

Rank channels by the tuition they produced rather than the forms they filled.

Enquiry to enrolment takes months

Someone who enquired for one intake and started at the next still credits the original campaign.

Defensible to a board or provost

Only exact matches count automatically; anything weaker is flagged rather than assumed.

A worked example

The number you can take into a budget meeting.

Not impressions, not leads, not cost per click. Closed revenue, by the channel that produced it, for a period you choose — with the portion we could not trace shown rather than quietly shared out across your paid channels.

01

Tuition is multi-year, so the channel's value is multi-year

A family that enrols in year seven may pay tuition for six years and enrol a sibling besides. Judging the campaign that produced them on a single year's fee understates it several times over.

Because the match is on the family, every subsequent year and every sibling credits the original channel — which is the only figure a board can sensibly compare against the admissions budget.

The open day is the channel that decides enrolments

Schools invest heavily in open days and rarely connect attendance to enrolment beyond a headcount. Which campaigns filled the room, and which attendees actually enrolled, are both usually unknown.

The registration list is a source file. Uploaded, open days rank on enrolled tuition against paid channels, and the campaigns that filled them can be judged on the same basis.

Why it matters

What changes when you can prove it.

You stop defending the budget and start growing it

"We generated 400 leads" invites an argument. "This channel closed $186,400 last quarter, here is the reconciliation" ends one. The teams that can show closed revenue by channel are the teams that get the next increase approved, because they are asking with evidence rather than with conviction.

You can cut the wrong channel without a fight

Killing spend is politically harder than adding it, because someone always owns the channel being cut. A number that reconciles to the sales export takes the argument out of the room — you are not overruling a colleague's judgement, you are reading the same ledger they are.

Your reporting survives the finance review

Platform-reported conversions do not reconcile to revenue, and eventually someone in finance notices. Reporting built from your own closed-sales export starts from the number finance already trusts, which is why it holds up when it is checked.

You answer in an afternoon, not a quarter

Because this reconciles exports rather than tracking visitors, it works on months that have already closed. You are not instrumenting now to learn something in ninety days — you can answer for last quarter today, which is usually when the question is being asked.

Honest answers

The pushback we hear from Private Schools.

They say

Our admissions cycle is annual.

We say

Which is why there is no attribution window. An enquiry in autumn and an enrolment the following summer still match.

They say

Most families visit before applying.

We say

Upload the open-day registration list as a source file and visits become a measurable channel.

They say

Family data is sensitive and involves children.

We say

Only a parent contact detail, a tuition amount and a date are needed. No student names, no records.

Pricing

Flat monthly pricing. No per-call fees.

The number here is the number on the invoice — no per-call, per-minute or per-form fees. Most independent and private K-12 schools land on Growth — thirteen months of history to compare a month to the same month last year, and a PDF you can put in front of whoever holds the budget.
