I will audit your university website, visibility and ranking strategy
University Rankings and Strategy Consultant
About this Gig
Is your university underperforming in rankings, struggling with digital visibility, or unsure which issues deserve attention first?
I will independently audit your university's website, digital presence and ranking performance to identify technical, structural and visibility issues that may be limiting its performance.
The audit may include:
- website structure and technical issues
- multilingual content and accessibility
- digital and institutional visibility
- ranking indicators and performance gaps
- externally visible academic and research signals
- strengths, weaknesses and overlooked issues
- prioritized improvement opportunities
The analysis is tailored to your university, its digital environment and relevant ranking systems rather than based on a generic checklist.
Optional competitor benchmarking: I can conduct comparable website audits for up to 3 additional universities and identify meaningful differences, strengths and weaknesses. Broader competitor intelligence can be scoped separately.
Academic profiles and research data: Detailed profile, publication and citation-level verification is not included in the standard audit and can be scoped separately where appropriate data and databa

FAQ
Can you calculate or predict every ranking indicator?
No. Some indicators, particularly reputation and survey-based metrics, rely on non-public data, respondent samples or proprietary inputs. I can analyze published results, trends and relevant factors, but I do not present estimates as calculations when the required source data is unavailable.
Do you guarantee an improvement in university rankings?
No. I identify measurable issues, opportunities and practical priorities based on available evidence. Final ranking results also depend on methodology changes, competitor performance, survey-based indicators and other factors outside my control.
What is included in the Extra Competitors option?
I benchmark the websites of up to three selected universities against your institution. Each website is independently reviewed using comparable website-related indicators to identify meaningful differences, strengths and weaknesses.
Does competitor benchmarking include broader competitive intelligence?
No. The standard extra is limited to website-level benchmarking. Academic profiles, publications, citation data, research visibility and broader institutional intelligence require separate scoping and can be provided through a custom offer.
Does the audit include detailed publication and citation analysis?
Not by default. Publicly visible academic and research signals may be considered where relevant, but publication-level verification, academic profile audits and detailed citation analysis are separate services and may require access to specialized databases.
What happens if additional work is needed after delivery?
Two days of message-based support are included for questions and clarifications related to the delivered report. New analysis, additional institutions, expanded research or implementation work can be arranged separately.
