Visitor-Loyalty School Gadget

If real estate website visitors love school information - and they usually do – you need an effective and easy way to give it to them.

There are solutions out there that can be integrated into your website for a fee.  But, there’s a site that’s new to me that can help you add school information to your website at no charge.  At least as of the date of this post.

Check out Education.com

At Education.com you can create school data widgets for your blog or website that looks like the image below.  

You can control the title of the widget, the colors and the size.  You can show schools by city, zip code or county.  It’s really pretty flexible as widgets go.

There’s an option to obtain the code to be placed in your HTML, or a WordPress widget.  When you visit their page, you’ll find that you can click on the school name from the push pin, or the school name in the “School List” tab, to see information about that particular school.

The information includes things like test score results, and teacher/student information such as the ratio of students to teachers, and all the usual type of information someone looking for schools in a new area might want.

I think it’s an excellent way to provide school information in an interactive way that will encourage people to stay on your site.  It’s great finding useful (and free) new content!
