How Can an Education Lead Generation Agency Help Increase Student Enrollments?

I’ve been researching ways to improve student admissions for schools, colleges, and edtech platforms, and I keep coming across the term education lead generation agency. From what I understand, these agencies focus on generating high-quality student inquiries through digital marketing strategies like paid ads, SEO, social media campaigns, and landing page optimization.

But I’m curious — how effective are they really?

Do they focus only on quantity (more leads), or do they also ensure lead quality (students genuinely interested in enrolling)? Also, how do they track and optimize campaigns to reduce cost per lead over time?

If anyone here has worked with an education lead generation agency, I’d love to know:

• Did you see a measurable increase in admissions?

• Which channels worked best — Google Ads, Meta Ads, or organic traffic?

• How long did it take to start seeing consistent results?

With competition increasing in the education sector, generating targeted student inquiries seems more challenging than ever. I’d appreciate any insights or real experiences before making a decision.
