In the same way, a university may keep blogging without validating whether these pages are bringing in the right kind of students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An assessment brings these issues to the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India&#8217;s higher education ecosystem already includes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/FactsheetDetails.aspx?id=150983&amp;NoteId=150983&amp;ModuleId=16&amp;reg=1&amp;lang=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1,289 universities, 48,246 colleges and 15,221 standalone institutions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, according to Ministry of Education data.

Instead, it should examine how the different parts work together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Website and User Experience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also the place from which students make up their minds about the programme in most cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An evaluation of the site should therefore see how easily available information can be found, how well organised pages are, how easy it is to learn about admissions and what further steps are available for students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile optimisation is also worth considering since prospective students might come across programmes on mobile devices while surfing on the web or social networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. SEO and Search Visibility<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students search for much more than a university&#8217;s name. They may look for courses, fees, eligibility, placements, careers, specialisations, admission deadlines and comparisons between institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A digital marketing assessment should identify whether the institution appears for these relevant searches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes reviewing-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Programme-level keywords<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search intent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical SEO<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-page optimisation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content gaps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internal linking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local search visibility<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organic competitors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim is to understand whether the institution is visible at different stages of the student&#8217;s research journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.
