4 Ways to Make the Most of Your FindAUniversity Account


Are you making the most of all your FindAUniversity account has to offer? To help you do exactly that, we asked our Client Services Team Leader, Dougal Mackenzie, to explain some of the features you'll have at your fingertips on our Client Dashboard.


As we enter the summer and prepare for a new academic year, it felt like a good time to showcase how you can make the most of your account with us on FindAMasters and FindAPhD!

Our Client Dashboard is packed with features that are designed to make your experience listing with us as smooth as possible – here are a few of them.

#1 Renew listings instantly

Our Dashboard is already set up to make it easy for you to add and edit your postgraduate opportunities, and once your subscription ends, it is even easier to renew your listings for re-advertising.

Upon logging in, Central Account users can submit a renewal for their account directly. Additionally, all your renewal information, such as your number of current listings or your subscription period is clearly displayed, ensuring you have all the information you need. A renewal can be completed within minutes - there’s no need to get in touch, and no need to call.

Of course, we love to hear from our clients, but offering a way to quickly renew listings is key to ensuring your brand never falls off the site. This is super important for retaining an active audience base!

#2 Control your data

Your dashboard is not just a place where you can upload your opportunities, but is also where you can gain an overview of how your listings are performing*. Once you’ve logged in, pop over to the ‘Analytics’ tab, where you can quickly cycle between the last 12 months of Page Views, Referrals and Email Enquiries your listings received. If you have purchased additional supporting advertising in this period, this feature is especially helpful in identifying the positive impacts of a Targeted Display Campaign or a Featured Programme booking.

Those who have our ‘Pro Analytics’ package in their account receive even more benefits in this section:

  • Use the ‘Benchmarking’ feature to compare the statistics mentioned above against up to eight competitors of your choice
  • Gain access to our site averages for useful data that can help you focus your campaigns
  • Quickly export all of this data to add to your own records via an Excel doc.

#3 Find out about our other advertising

Our advertisers’ sections have everything you need to find out about our range of products. However, you can also easily get a quote for what you need directly in your client dashboard.

Maybe you’ve looked at your opportunities and decided you want to give some a push? Within a few clicks, you can view what options are available to you and quickly enquire about any of our other featured advertising, whether you’re logged into FindAPhD or FindAMasters.

This ‘Advertise’ area of the dashboard is set up so you can enquire about multiple adverts at once. Perhaps you want to know more about a Homepage Featured Video but you’re also interested in a Targeted Display Campaign? Simply tick the fields, and you can even include how long you would like these adverts to run once they’re live. This helps save time by giving your Account Manager all the details they need to respond to your enquiry as soon as possible, meaning fewer hiccups in your booking process.

#4 Keep your listings healthy

One of the key features you have access to in your dashboard - no matter what type of account you have – is being able to view a ‘Health Check’ for all of your listings*. This small visual gives you a graded percentage for each of your opportunities, as well as an overall score for each of your departments.

It also details all of the additions that we recommend (such as including video content or scholarship info) that will help towards getting not only the most out of your subscription, but also making sure your content is as engaging as possible for our users.
