Social Media Marketing for Abroad Study Consultancies

Every consultancy in Kathmandu posts the same visa-approved stamp and the same flag collage. Students still choose the office where one counsellor sounded like they knew what they were talking about.

The approval post is not proof

A screenshot of an approved visa proves a student got in, not that you got them in. It also looks identical across forty pages, which is why nobody reads it twice.

Put your counsellor on camera weekly

One person, answering one question, in the language the student would ask it in.

  • One country, one requirement, one minute: IELTS bands, funds, gap years.
  • What the intake calendar actually looks like month by month.
  • A student explaining their timeline, not thanking you.
  • The honest version of the cost, including what nobody mentions.

Answer the fear, not the dream

Students are not scared of picking the wrong university. They are scared of a rejection, of losing the fee they paid, and of a consultancy that stops replying after the deposit. Say what happens in each case.

Post to the intake cycle

Enquiries move in a pattern you can plan around around intakes and exam results. Your heaviest publishing belongs in the eight weeks before applications close, not evenly across the year.

Real examples

Bad line, good line.

Most people write

A screenshot of an approved visa with "Congratulations!" over it.

Say this instead

"Funds proof for Australia: how much, in whose name, for how long."

Most people write

"100% visa success rate."

Say this instead

"Two of our last twenty were refused. Here is what both had in common."
