Enrollment marketing built for the trades
One team for the whole funnel, from the first search to the first day of class.
Student inquiries
Students already ask about your programs on TradeSchools.co. Partners get those inquiries delivered in real time.
Enrollment SEO
Prospective students search "welding school near me" and "how to become an HVAC tech" every day. We make sure they find your programs.
Websites
Your website is your best admissions rep. Ours load fast on phones, pass accessibility checks, and make it easy to request info.
Paid ads
Paid search and social can fill a cohort fast, if the campaigns are built around starts, not clicks.
