Unified search attracting even more users

As of May 2023, The Student Room also offers a unified search on site. This means all the authoritative and authentic content across both The Student Room and The Uni Guide can now be easily accessed by users on The Student Room.

How we capture your leads - direct response buttons

Eye-catching buttons prompt applicants to take action by visiting your website or filling in a form. The buttons appear on your listing and on every section of your profile. All data forms include a consent tick box, allowing you to contact your leads:

1. Request info | Students send you an enquiry along with their data
2. Get prospectus | Students provide their data in exchange for your prospectus
3. Visit website | Students are redirected to your university website
4. Open Days | Students specify which open day they will attend and provide data

From early 2023, we also now include the buttons on The Student Room site to drive even more enquiries to your university. Universities with lead gen buttons also have their buttons boosted in the Sponsored Universities panel of the search results

Reaching a wider applicant audience - similar courses

Our similar courses functionality drives more users to your page when they search for university courses that are similar to your offering (see example).

Over 5% of all applicant leads come from redirects provided by the Similar Courses button (in some cases, the Similar Courses button has driven 40% of a university's leads).

This means that if you do not have this feature enabled, you could be losing valuable leads to your competitors.
