Here is what changed this week and what it means for your group. Also remember that the ability for someone to review your community now only shows up in the main forum after 30 days of paid or they can look anytime on your about page to see if they can leave a review. (We love reviews) Right now, if someone was previously in Freemium and just started paying, they can probably leave you a review, but they are tightening that loophole up soon. They always have to be paying to be able to leave a review. New Features Reviews now show in Google. Search a group name and its Skool reviews appear in the results, sometimes above the creator's own YouTube channel. Auto language detection. Skool now detects a visitor's language and adapts the UI, Discovery, about pages, video captions, and transcripts. There is effectively a separate Discovery per language. Suggested communities, ads, currencies, and local payment methods (like PayPal in Germany) are coming next. Growth Boost Was Rebuilt Campaigns were stopped and rebuilt from scratch across multiple ad accounts. Performance is already up, but it will take one to two weeks to return to previous spend levels. If your boost dipped recently, that is likely the reset, not something you did. Once spend is back, results are expected to be roughly twice as good. The team says Growth Boost is still at about 1 to 2 percent of its potential. How to Get Growth Boost Working for You 1. Put your Skool link in every bio and in YouTube descriptions. Skool needs to see where traffic comes from, and a specific traffic source is required to get scored. 2. Fix your packaging. Cover image, title, description, about page video and photos. Your cover image is literally the ad Skool runs. Test: would a stranger instantly understand what the group is about? Every Discovery category is a "trending" list, so browse your niche for examples. 3. Add an annual option. Recommended discount is 20 to 50 percent, but below 20 does almost nothing and the groups that work best sit at 30 to 50. Even at 50 percent off, you collect six months of revenue in month one, which lets Growth Boost recoup faster and push harder. 4. Try the slider high, then dial back. Moving from 30 to 70 percent more than doubles your efficiency score. Some groups that had never been advertised jumped near the top of the queue overnight. 5. Check your free trial conversion rate. Platform average is about 40 percent, but groups range from 8 to 80. The reset now scores trials per group, so a weak trial rate can cost you boost you used to get. If yours is well below 30, consider turning it off. 6. Make the group better. Retention and conversion improve every metric at once.
