Verified Funnel Lead Generation
Education Sector

The Challenge

Schools face a unique lead generation problem: admissions are seasonal, competition is intense, and most "leads" from digital campaigns are unqualified inquiries that waste counselors' time.
Vandana International School was struggling with: • High volume of low-quality leads from Facebook forms • 60%+ of inquiries were "price shoppers" with no real intent • Admissions team overwhelmed with follow-ups that went nowhere • No system to identify high-intent parents

Our Approach

THE VERIFIED FUNNEL SYSTEM We developed a multi-stage funnel specifically for education that separates serious inquiries from casual interest: Stage 1: Awareness Ads (Top of Funnel) • Video content showcasing campus, teaching methodology, student achievements • Targeted to parents with children in age-appropriate brackets • Geographic targeting within 15km of school Stage 2: Interest Qualification (Middle of Funnel) • Free downloadable "Guide to Choosing the Right School" (gated content) • Virtual campus tour registration • Webinar on "Preparing Your Child for Academic Success" Stage 3: Intent Verification (Bottom of Funnel) • Multi-step form with qualifying questions • Phone verification call before passing to admissions • Only verified, qualified leads reach the admissions team Stage 4: Nurture & Convert • Automated email sequence with testimonials and success stories • Retargeting ads to website visitors and video viewers • WhatsApp follow-up automation for quick questions

Testimonial
