Social Media Advertising and Website Optimisation Course

Course Information

Digital marketing. Transform your online presence and drive results.

Did you know that 87% of buyers think that social media helps them make shopping decisions, and 43% of customers learn about new products and services through social media networks? A successful social selling program leads to increased pipeline, better win rates, and up to 48% larger deals.*

Social selling is an important strategy in your digital marketing plan to engage with potential customers, build relationships with them, and encourage them to buy. However, for long- term success, you need to understand both the fundamentals and current best practices.

This course covers how to generate a return on investment (ROI) from Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn paid advertising and how to drive conversions on your website from these campaigns.
