The Challenge

Prospective students increasingly ask ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini where they should go to college before they ever visit a website. College of the Atlantic, a distinctive liberal arts college built around a single degree in human ecology, needed to know how it showed up in those answers, and a small staff needed AI working for them across admissions, communications and fundraising.

What We Did

We ran a full AI-visibility audit: 873 answers across three AI platforms, graded against the questions real prospective students ask. We traced every gap back to its cause on the website, turned it into a prioritized fix plan and shipped the fixes, from redirecting dead pages to repairing site search. Then we rolled Claude out college-wide and built grant-finder and grant-writer skills for the development office.

The Impact So Far

When AI talks about College of the Atlantic by name, it gets the college right 96% of the time. Thousands of visitors who used to hit dead ends now land where they meant to go, and the fix plan is targeting the discovery questions that matter most. Across campus, staff are trained and building with Claude.
