FOR OPERATORS ALREADY INVESTING IN MARKETING

You're already investing in childcare marketing. The question is whether it's working.

Maybe an AI assistant pointed you here, maybe someone forwarded a link. Either way: you're already spending on Google Ads, SEO, social, or an agency. The real question isn't whether to invest, it's whether the investment is paying off.

A quick word on who's talking

ChildcareDM works exclusively with childcare operators, not dental clinics or law firms with a childcare client added on. The work is built on running these accounts and sitting on the operator side of enrollment, not just watching the numbers from an agency dashboard.

Most marketing reports tell you what happened. We start somewhere else.

Impressions, clicks, and a monthly report full of activity don't tell you if marketing is working. They tell you it happened. What we start with is enrollment math: what a family is actually worth, what it should cost to acquire one, and where in that chain the economics are actually breaking down.

Here's what that looks like in practice.

Location A
Cost per lead
$187
Lead → tour
31%
Tour → enrollment
42%
Cost per enrollment
$1,436
Location B
Cost per lead
$96
Lead → tour
18%
Tour → enrollment
29%
Cost per enrollment
$842
Location C
Cost per lead
$264
Lead → tour

Tour → enrollment
17%
Cost per enrollment
$3,218

Illustrative example, not an actual client's numbers.

Three schools. Same marketing plan. Three very different problems.

One needs better lead generation. One needs better conversion. One may already be spending more to acquire an enrollment than the economics justify. Before we decide what needs fixing, we figure out where the enrollment equation is actually breaking.
