FAQ
EdTech Marketing strategy and planning in South Africa — common questions
What's the priority for an edtech in 2026?
Content-led GEO. AI engines now serve as the first-stop for learners researching courses. The brand cited as 'best [topic] course' wins disproportionate trial signups.
Do you work with B2B training providers?
Yes. B2B training (corporate L&D, certifications, executive education) follows a longer sales cycle than consumer learning but the AI-engine citation dynamics are similar.
How does AI engine citation work for educational queries?
AI engines weight content depth, named instructor bylines, clear curriculum disclosure, and outcome data (graduation rates, employment outcomes, salary lifts). Xpand's edtech engagements emphasize all four.
What channel mix works for edtech consumer acquisition?
YouTube + Meta + Google Search lead. TikTok layered for younger demos. SEO and GEO for top-of-funnel discovery. Content marketing for nurture.
