Paid Advertising · Career Colleges

Google Ads for career colleges works when every dollar is accountable to a cohort start, not a click. Prevello builds enrollment campaigns across Google, Meta, YouTube and TikTok: program-specific ads, landing pages that convert, and tracking that follows an inquiry all the way to a start.

Same budget, twice the starts.

Two schools spend $10K a month. One optimizes for clicks and celebrates traffic. The other optimizes for tours booked and fills cohorts. The difference isn’t budget. It’s what the machine is told to want.

Campaigns that speak student.

✓  Program-level campaign structure.
✓  Creative featuring real graduates, not stock classrooms.
✓  Landing pages per program (we build these; see Websites).
✓  Offline conversion tracking: tours and starts fed back into the algorithm.
✓  Seasonal cohort pacing.

What the data says.

We publish sourced figures here only as we verify them; nothing on this page gets decorated with numbers we cannot cite. The shape of the research is consistent, and we will walk you through the current data, with sources, on the call.

Proof, process, price.

We run paid search for a real California career college today, with enrollment stakes, not vanity metrics. Start with the Ad Account Audit ($950) or inside the 90-Day Pilot, targets agreed in writing in the first two weeks; if we miss them, we keep working at our own expense until we hit them. Process: audit week 1, build weeks 2-3, live optimization ongoing. Entry: Ad Account Audit ($950) or the 90-Day Pilot.

Asked by school leaders.

What budget does a school need per program?

Enough for honest data in your metro for that one program. Underfunded campaigns just buy noise; we set the number together on the call.

TikTok for vocational programs: real or hype?

Real, especially for career-changers. We treat it as a fixed-budget test and let cost per qualified inquiry decide.

How do you track a start back to an ad?

Tracking into your CRM, call tracking, and offline conversions uploaded back to the platform. The algorithm learns which clicks become starts, not just leads.
