Welcome to Week 1 of Digital Marketing!
This week we will be discussing Search Engine Optimization and Keywords. This is a really important topic because search engines are an excellent place to be discovered, without direct cost, by an audience that doesn’t know you already exist. We want our sites to appear on page 1 of search results, and specifically within the top 3 results, but it takes time. SEO boils down to the keywords we use in key places of our webpages.
You will also be developing part one of your Digital Marketing Strategy. Assignment 1 will give you the opportunity to explore marketing research to lay a strong foundation for your company’s digital marketing plan. You will conduct a competitive analysis and identify your business concept, target market, digital properties, and keyword strategy.
