What eduguide.gr does

eduguide.gr is a Greek-language educational portal and advertising marketplace founded in 2014 and headquartered in Greece, operating with approximately 6 employees. The platform aggregates postgraduate and undergraduate program information from more than 60 universities and educational institutions across Greece and Cyprus, allowing prospective students to search, filter, and compare Master's, PhD, and Bachelor's programs by subject, city, institution, study mode (in-person vs. online), and tuition status. The core technology is a web-based directory and search platform with structured program metadata; the stack includes no published API, no SDK, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI capabilities.

The platform's product surface extends beyond the graduate-program portal to include an undergraduate programs database, a Scholarships Hub, an Educational News and Articles section, a graduate Job Listings board, and a Services section. The company monetizes exclusively on the supply side: universities and educational institutions pay for advertising placements spanning banners, featured listings, newsletter mentions, and sponsored articles, while students access the platform free of charge. Distribution is digital-first and anchored by organic Google search, where eduguide.gr holds the No.1 ranking for the Greek keyword "metaptychiaká" (postgraduate studies) and related queries, supplemented by a newsletter/alerts system reaching 52,000+ registered members and a social presence exceeding 73,700 followers.

Reported scale metrics include 3.4 million annual visitors searching for postgraduate programs, 10 million annual page views, 350,000+ monthly postgrad-search visitors, and 52,000+ registered members (as of May 2023). Customer logos are concentrated among large Greek public universities (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Athens University of Economics and Business, University of Piraeus, University of the Aegean, Democritus University of Thrace, etc.), with advertising as the sole disclosed revenue stream.

Direct peers

• StudyPortals: Global program search and discovery portal connecting prospective students with universities worldwide. Highly comparable to eduguide.gr's core marketplace model, just at a much larger, international scale.
• MastersPortal: Specialized master's and PhD program search portal operated by StudyPortals. Closely comparable to eduguide.gr's flagship postgraduate offering, including filtering by subject, location, and study mode.
• Educations.com: International education search platform that lists programs from universities globally. Operates the same aggregator-plus-institutional-advertising model that eduguide.gr uses in Greece and Cyprus.
• Keystone Education Group: Operator of multiple education search portals including educations.com. Comparable as a portfolio of program discovery sites monetized through institutional advertising.
• FindAMasters: UK-founded postgraduate program search and funding database. Mirrors eduguide.gr's combination of program listings, scholarship information, and university-side advertising.

Emerging players

• Educatly: MENA-focused education search and admissions platform. Comparable in niche aggregator + institutional partnerships model, but earlier-stage and focused on a different region.
• GradCafe: Graduate school search and applicant community primarily serving North America. Shares the graduate-program-discovery use case with eduguide.gr but is community-driven rather than an institutional advertising platform.

Broad incumbents

• IDP Education: Global student placement and education services company, including the Hotcourses platform. Comparable in that it monetizes institutional relationships and student search intent, though at much greater scale and with placement services.
• QS (Quacquarelli Symonds): Global higher education analytics and media company behind TopUniversities.com. Overlaps with eduguide.gr through university rankings, program discovery, and lead-generation services, but on a much broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Studieren.de: Leading German-language program search and study orientation portal. Functionally equivalent to eduguide.gr — a country-specific aggregator monetized via university advertising — but serving a different geography.
