What is TheUniGuide?
TheUniGuide is a trusted, impartial university comparison platform which empowers prospective students to make informed choices about which universities to shortlist. The clean and simple user interface sends a clear message that the site is designed for applicants in the final stages of their decision-making journey. Applicants can search by course, location and course criteria, so any leads you get are already highly qualified.
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:
- Request info | Students send you an enquiry along with their data
- Get prospectus | Students provide their data in exchange for your prospectus
- Visit website | Students are redirected to your university website
- Open Days | Students specify which open day they will attend and provide data
