Marketing without Money: a San Francisco Bay Area Training in SEO and Social Media Marketing

 

Creating online publicity with little or no money is the holy grail of marketers today. SEO (search engine optimization) is the art and science of getting a company, product, or service to the top of Google or Bing. Social media marketing, in contrast, cultivates a positive brand image on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube, and encourages customers to share a marketing message across social sites. The goal is obvious: get free Internet publicity. The means is not. Whether one is an entrepreneur, a small business owner, or a marketing manager at a large company or nonprofit, this course will help participants better understand the online marketing environment. If there are businesses that need extra help in building their SEO services, there are agencies out there that can help out like this Los Angeles Digital Marketing Agency, who can help with social media, SEO building and many more digital marketing services. Beginning with SEO, the training will discuss how to construct a Google-friendly website and build links, social mentions, and authority. Then it will dive into social media marketing, using the analogy of a party. How does one throw a great Facebook party? A LinkedIn soiree? A YouTube meet-and-greet? And how do companies use the newer platforms of Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and others to nurture a positive brand image and encourage customers to share brand messages? By the end of the course, participants will know how to take the theory of SEO and social media marketing and transform it into a systematic online marketing plan.
