LOCALiQ’s digital strategy delivered over 16,000 clicks and 289 leads for Gayhurst School, with Facebook campaigns generating 446,269 impressions at a 1.62% CTR and SEM activity adding 183,524 impressions at a strong 5.41% CTR.
Goals.
Twelve years ago, Gayhurst School transitioned from a boy’s independent school into a co-ed school, so their primary goal is to increase their admission numbers, especially for girls, to balance their girl-to-boy pupil ratio.
To do this, LOCALiQ had to ensure the school was easily discoverable by local parents actively researching and considering independent schools for their children.
Gayhurst also wanted to integrate online marketing into its advertising strategy, which, at the time, only included print advertising. LOCALiQ was selected to help them start this element of the business with an effective digital marketing strategy.
Challenges.
Since there is stiff competition in the area, Gayhurst needed to increase brand awareness and lead generation to remain competitive. Promoting the school’s sense of tradition and modern approach to tailored teaching was important – emphasising their well-reputed pastoral care.

“What I like about LOCALiQ is the Client Centre, which allows me to see the latest data whenever I feel like it. This provides me with the control I need so I can check everything and implement changes if they are necessary.
I would highly recommend LOCALiQ services to other schools, mainly based on the Client Centre, which gives oversight on all aspects of digital marketing, and the staff are responsive.”
