Paid ads that turn leads into students.
We run Meta and Google ads for course creators, schools and education brands, optimized for paying students, not just opt-ins.
★★★★★ 60+ brands scaled · Updated November 2026
The short answer
Paid ads work for online education when the funnel gives real value up front, like a free lesson or class, and purchase data goes back to the platforms so they find people who enroll. Meta drives most of the volume for courses and memberships. Google catches people already searching for a course or license.
The problem
Why paid ads are hard for education brands.
Cheap opt-ins, few buyers
Free content gets plenty of sign-ups. Turning them into paying students is where most funnels leak.
Launch spikes, quiet months
Launch-only marketing means feast and famine, and the ad account starts learning from scratch every time.
Trust comes first
People need to see the teaching and the results before they pay for a program.

How we scale education ads.
Lead with a useful free step
A free lesson, class or guide that delivers a real win, so leads arrive warm.
Optimize for buyers

Run evergreen beside launches
An always-on funnel keeps enrollments steady between launches and gives the platforms constant data.
