Real enrollment experience, not just marketing experience
A prospective student's decision stretches over weeks or months, moves through an admissions office, and ends in a deposit, not a checkout page. That funnel is different from retail or local services. Ask any agency you are considering to show a real campaign built for a school, college, or program, not a slide of unrelated client logos. If they cannot point to actual enrollment work, they are learning on your budget.
