We hear you. The visit experience is harder than ever.

Declining visit volume, rising no-show rates, student ambassador programs rebuilding from scratch, and family members asking questions your tour guides haven't been trained for yet. Guidebook won't fix enrollment, but we'll give your team the tools to make every visit count.

Printed packets nobody reads

Weeks of design work left on a table. Prospective students can't find parking info when they need it most.

No-shows with no signal

Last-minute changes get buried in email. Families show up to the wrong building with no way to reach them.

Tour guides flying solo

Student ambassadors run hospitality at scale with a binder and a walkie-talkie. Training churn is relentless.

Yield events that don't prove ROI

Leadership asks how engaged admitted students were. Your answer is a sign-in sheet and vibes.

One app per event, one bill per event

Separate tools for open house, yield day, orientation, and family weekend — each with its own budget approval cycle.

Virtual tours that feel like Zoom

Distant prospects still need to feel the campus. Static 360 viewers and YouTube walkthroughs don't close the gap.

Let's talk about your visit program.

Book 20 minutes with the Guidebook team at CIVSA 2026.

We'll show you the app live on your phone, walk through a visit day flow, and answer the questions your team has been kicking around all spring.

One app for every campus event — not just visits.

Guidebook Unlimited gives every department on campus a branded app they can spin up on demand.

Open houses, admitted student days, orientation, welcome week, family weekend, homecoming, conferences, alumni reunions all in one place, year-round, one flat price.

Built for the whole campus — not just one team.

Admissions, orientation, student life, events, and alumni relations all run on the same platform.

One contract covers every department, every event, every app — no per-event fees, no surprise invoices, no procurement loop when a new team wants in.

Launch in days, not months, with support from a CSM who knows higher ed.

Your staff deserves better than answering the same questions all day long.

Tour guides shouldn't be memorizing schedules. Families shouldn't be hunting for parking. Guidebook provides the right information to everyone before they need to ask, allowing your team to focus on hospitality instead of logistics.
