A/B testing in enrolment marketing is a method of comparing two versions of a marketing asset to determine which one performs better at attracting or converting prospective students.

Version A is shown to one group and version B to another, after which teams measure which version generates more of the intended outcome, such as enquiries, form submissions, applications, or enrolments.

It replaces guesswork with evidence, allowing campaign decisions to be based on what genuinely works with the intended audience.

Institutions can optimise forms and landing pages by testing the elements most likely to influence completion and retaining the versions that perform best.

For online forms, this may involve testing the number of fields, required information, layout, and overall length. For landing pages, institutions can compare headlines, visuals, page structure, content placement, and the position or wording of the call to action.

Each test provides clear evidence of what encourages prospective students to take the next step rather than leaving the page.

Meritto supports data-driven enrolment marketing by capturing the source, behaviour, engagement, and outcome of every lead within one connected platform, providing the data foundation required for effective A/B testing.

Teams can compare email campaigns, monitor how landing pages and online forms contribute to the enrolment funnel, and identify which variations generate applications and enrolments rather than only clicks.

By connecting test performance with real enrolment outcomes, Meritto helps institutions turn A/B testing insights into measurable improvements in conversion.
