Advanced College Solutions Onboarding

Now that the Kickoff Call is complete, we are ready to go! This is where your presence starts to take shape. Adding rich, relevant content helps students discover you and gives them a reason to follow, engage, and apply.

⏰ Estimated time: 2–4 hours

Content Best Practices

• Within 2 weeks of onboarding, focus on content for Academics, Events, and Student Life. These are key drivers in Scoir’s discovery features and student searches
• Within 1 month, complete content for all profile sections (School Overview, Admissions, Cost & Aid, and more)
• Use your Insights Dashboard to see which topics your students care about most

Insider Tips

• Engage student interns or volunteers to help with content creation
• Break up the academics section: add majors A–M one week, then N–Z the next
• Pull content from your most popular web pages, YouTube, TikTok, and other channels

If your school uses Slate, month 1 includes laying the groundwork for setting up the Scoir Audience Integration with Slate. The free Scoir Audience Integration brings real-time student interest directly into Slate, so you can identify stealth students early, personalize your outreach, and measure the full journey—from first signal to enrollment.

⏰ Estimated time: ~30 minutes to set up the integration! Learn How

Insider Tip

• Ensure your Slate Captain is involved early. They'll play a critical role in ensuring a smooth setup.
  

Now that your presence is live, it's time to start reaching out! Messaging helps you connect with students (and their parents/guardians) in meaningful ways based on their actual behavior, not a purchased list.

⏰ Estimated time: 1-2 hours

Messaging Best Practices

• Set up 3 Automated Messages for students (Following, Applying, Applied)

• Add messages for parents/guardians, if applicable

• Copy your "Following" message and send it as a one-time message to current followers

• Begin scheduling additional one-time messages for targeted outreach
  
  

Insider Tips

• Best practice is to set up at least 3 Automated Messages per audience (students and parents/guardians) within your first two months. This ensures they receive timely, relevant touchpoints throughout their journey.

• Sending a one-time “Following” message captures current followers who aren’t receiving automated ones yet
