The Enquiry Experience Tracker is a syndicated research program designed to help higher education institutions understand how well they respond to enquiries from prospective students.
Posing as prospective students, we place enquiries through your key channels and analyse the responses.
Our experts score and benchmark the experience against other universities and colleges worldwide so you can understand your performance. Our scoring model, developed in partnership with UniQuest, measures a range of different data points to provide a holistic evaluation of the enquiry experience.
Participating institutions receive a personalised report including benchmarking, which enables you to:

We employ real students as mystery shoppers. They place undergraduate and postgraduate study enquiries to each institution using key channels like social media, email and live chat.
From the below set of personas, we select six of the most relevant for each country/region of the world. Mystery shoppers take on these identities and ask about courses and other common topics, such as fees, accommodation, scholarships, admission requirements and processes.
The research involves 24 mystery shopping enquiries to each institution (six personas x four enquiries).
Here are the mystery shopper personas for 2024.
The enquiry experience is analysed and assessed by Edified’s digital communication experts.
Evaluation criteria includes channel availability, responsiveness, communication quality, follow-up and impact.
Informed by the latest student behaviour data and conversion insights from more than 2 million student journeys managed by UniQuest, our scoring model reflects today’s standard for effective student engagement.
The Enquiry Experience Tracker is a must-have for any data-driven student recruitment team.
Quantify how well your university delivers against key student engagement standards, and how your performance compares to your competitors.
You’ll be part of the mystery shopping and receive a personalised benchmarked report to support your student recruitment strategies.
