Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

• SEO stands for search engine optimization. SEO practitioners


optimize websites, web pages and content for the purposes of
ranking higher in search engines, like Google.

• SEO is a set of practices designed to improve the appearance,


positioning, and usefulness of multiple types of content in the
organic search results. This content can include web pages,
video media, images, local business listings, and other assets.
Why SEO is Important

• Increased Visibility: The primary purpose

of SEO is to improve a website's visibility

on search engines. When your website

ranks higher in search results, it's more

likely to be seen by users, leading to

increased organic traffic.


• Traffic Generation: SEO is a crucial

strategy for attracting organic (non-paid)

traffic to your website. By optimizing your

content and website structure, you can

draw in visitors who are actively searching

for information, products, or services

related to your industry.


• Brand Credibility: High search engine

rankings can boost your brand's credibility

and trustworthiness in the eyes of users.

People tend to trust websites that appear

at the top of search results more than

those on later pages.


• Lead Generation: For businesses, SEO

can be a valuable tool for generating

leads. By targeting keywords related

to your products or services, you can

attract potential customers who are

interested in what you offer.


• E-commerce Sales: Online retailers

can use SEO to increase sales by

optimizing product pages,

improving the user experience, and

targeting keywords relevant to

their products.
• Content Marketing: SEO and content

marketing are closely related. SEO

helps ensure that your valuable

content reaches a wider audience,

and high-quality content can, in turn,

enhance your SEO efforts.


• Competitive Advantage: SEO is

essential for staying competitive in the

online marketplace.

• If your competitors are investing in

SEO and you're not, you risk losing

market share.
• Local Marketing: Local businesses

can benefit from local SEO efforts,

ensuring that their business

appears in local search results,

online maps, and directories.


• Cost-Effective Marketing: Compared

to many other marketing strategies,

SEO can be cost-effective in the long

run, especially when you're

consistently generating organic traffic

without paying for each click.


• Data and Insights: SEO tools

provide valuable data and insights

into your website's performance

and user behavior, helping you

make data-driven decisions.


• Analytics and Reporting: SEO tools and analytics platforms provide

detailed insights into website performance, allowing you to measure

the effectiveness of your strategies and make improvements.

Keyword Phrases
Research

• Keyword Research : Keyword phrase research involves identifying a


group of keyword phrases that will be used in optimization.

• This initial step is critical and requires a considerable amount of time


to find a good set of phrases that offer a balanced combination of two
important factors: high usage by searchers and relatively low
competition within the search engines.
• Competitive Research : Once armed with the target keyword phrases, we
do a thorough competitive analysis of the subject site against its 7 – 10
biggest competitors (using both offline and online competitors).
• We use a series of SEO metrics, including indexed content, Alexa rating,
inbound links, domain age, and social media following among
others. Through this process, we are able to gauge the client site’s starting
position against its competition and identify areas requiring priority in the
subsequent work.
REPORTING & GOAL SETTING

• Goals are set for the SEO plan. These goals are measurable (one big
advantage of SEO over other advertising options) and tied to the
specific business objectives of the site.

• In the ongoing progress of reporting and follow up, progress towards


the plan’s goals are analyzed and reported. Adjustments to the SEO
plan can be made according to the findings of these progress reports.
CONTENT BUILDING
• Content is king in search engine optimization. The search engines love text; high
volume, high-quality content related to your business will serve you in a couple of
important ways.
• First, a site loaded with high-quality content of interest to site users will give
them a reason to stay and a reason to come back. After all, the reason they came
to your site was to find information.
• Second, you will receive the added benefit of serving up exactly what the search
engines want – content.
• Search engines will have more information to store about your
business and products; that information will translate directly into the
ranking they give your site for related keyword phrases. For more
information on content development and specific ideas about ways to
expand your site’s content, read our, Content is Still King.
PAGE OPTIMIZATION
• Page Titles : Make sure that your site’s page titles say something other
than just your company name or “welcome.” Ideally, they need to lead off
with your targeted phrase for that page and then follow with your
company name.
• Prominence of Targeted Keyword Phrases: It is not enough to have your
keyword phrase(s) somewhere on the web page, the placement and
prominence given to them also affects your search engine placement.
• For example, leading off the site’s first paragraph with your keyword phrase
gives it more weight than burying it half way down the page in the middle
of a paragraph. Also, using larger font sizes and bolding the text can
emphasize its importance and positively affect the page’s ranking for that
phrase.
• Site Map: Developing a site map that includes a well-organized list of
links to all the important pages of your site and includes a text link to
the site map on your home page is the ideal way to make sure that all
the site’s pages are indexed by the search engines when they visit the
subject site. Google’s Search Console is ideal for this purpose.
SOCIAL & LINK BUILDING
• Social Media: The power of online sharing through social media
provides tremendous opportunities for companies willing to commit
the time to using it.
• During this phase of the process, we help clients establish a social
media presence and consult with the client on how best to use those
social media profiles to share site content and connect with
customers and potential customers.
• Of particular importance to local businesses, we consult with our
clients on how best to use Google My Business to increase visibility
for local searches. We have specific Local SEO packages for local
businesses; learn more about Local SEO here.
• Building In-Bound Links: Each new, quality link to your site increases the
likelihood of both the search engines’ spiders running across your site as well as
searchers looking for services or products like yours.
• Google views links to your site (as long as they are links from high quality sites) as
votes for your site and rewards the site accordingly.
• You can check your link popularity with a variety of free online tools. In addition,
Google’s Search Console provides information regarding the inbound links to your
site.
On Page Optimization
• On-page optimization, also known as on-page SEO (search engine optimization), refers to
the process of optimizing individual web pages to improve their search engine rankings
and overall visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs).

• On-page optimization involves making changes and improvements directly on a website


to ensure that the content and HTML source code of a page are search engine-friendly
and relevant to the keywords or topics the page is targeting.

• The primary goal of on-page optimization is to make it easier for search engines to
understand the content and relevance of a web page.
Keyword Research: Start by researching and selecting relevant

keywords for each page. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner,

SEMrush, or Ahrefs to identify the right keywords to target.


Quality Content: Create high-quality, informative, and engaging

content that satisfies the user's search intent. Content should be well-

researched, well-written, and provide value to your audience.


Title Tag: Craft an attention-grabbing and descriptive title tag for each

page, including the primary keyword. Keep it under 60 characters for

better search engine display.


Image Optimization: Optimize images by using descriptive file names

and alt text. Compress images to reduce page load times and improve

user experience.
Internal Linking: Create a logical internal linking structure by linking to

related pages within your website. This helps both users and search

engines navigate your site.


URL Structure: Ensure that your URLs are clean, descriptive, and

include your target keywords. Avoid using lengthy, confusing URLs.


Mobile Optimization: Make sure your website is responsive and

mobile-friendly. Google prioritizes mobile-friendly sites in its search

results.
Page Loading Speed: Improve page loading speed by optimizing

images, minifying CSS and JavaScript, and leveraging browser caching.

Tools like Google Page Speed Insights can help with this.
Monitoring and Analytics: Continuously monitor the performance of

your pages using tools like Google Analytics and Google Search

Console. Analyze data and make necessary adjustments.


Off Page Optimization

• Off-page optimization, also known as off-page SEO, refers to the set of strategies

and activities that are conducted outside of your website to improve its search

engine ranking and online visibility.

• While on-page optimization focuses on optimizing your website's individual web

pages, off-page optimization is concerned with factors that influence your site's

authority, trustworthiness, and popularity in the eyes of search engines.


Social Media Marketing: Establish a strong presence on social media

platforms. Share your content, engage with your audience, and

encourage social sharing of your content. Social signals can indirectly

impact your search rankings.


Content Marketing: Create high-quality and shareable content. The

more valuable your content is, the more likely it is to be linked to and

shared on social media. Content can include blog posts, infographics,

videos, and more.


Influencer Marketing: Collaborate with influencers in your industry

who can help promote your content or products to their followers.

Influencers can have a significant impact on your online visibility.


Online Reputation Management: Monitor and manage your online

reputation. Respond to reviews and comments, address negative

feedback, and actively engage with your audience on various platforms.


Local SEO: If your business has a physical presence, optimize your

website for local search. Create and maintain a Google My Business

profile, and get listed in local directories. Encourage customers to leave

reviews.
Social Bookmarking: Share your content on social bookmarking sites

like Reddit, Digg, and StumbleUpon. This can help drive traffic and

increase your content's exposure.


Q&A Sites and Forums: Participate in relevant forums and question-

and-answer sites like Quora. Provide helpful answers and include links

to your content when appropriate.


Press Releases: Distribute press releases for significant company news

or events. This can help with brand visibility and mentions on news

websites.
Creating Search Campaign

• Creating a search campaign is an important part of running a

successful online advertising campaign, typically using platforms like

Google Ads. Here are few steps which involved in setup of Search

Campaign.

Social Bookmarking
• Social bookmarking helps you to tag and save website pages so that
you can easily revisit them.
• Instead of relying on your browser bookmarks, you can take
advantage of the features provided by different platforms to save
posts.
• This way, you can access your bookmarks from any device with an
internet connection since they will be stored online.
How Does Social Bookmarking Works
• On social bookmarking sites, users can follow topics of discussion organized
into specific rooms or threads. When a user follows a piece of content, they
will receive notifications in their feed when new information is added.

• Social bookmarking sites act as a springboard for conversation and the


exchange of knowledge. These sites are great resources for discovering
ideas for social media content, gaining backlinks, and connecting with
potential influencers.
Why use social bookmarking in SEO?

• Social bookmarking is an effective way to promote content and increase


traffic to a website.

• It helps create a community of users who share relevant links and content,
which can help increase a website’s visibility and search engine rankings.

• It can also help build relationships between users and brands, and provide
an easy way to share content and stay up to date on the latest trends.
Search Engine Submission

• Search engine submission refers to the process of submitting the URL


or domain name of your website, or the pages within it, to search
engines so they know such pages exist.

• The logic behind it is that if search engines know about you, they can
easily index and rank you for relevant searches.
• Search engine submission is an off-page optimization strategy in
which a website is directly submitted to a search engine for indexing
and to get it listed in search engine listings.
• It is considered an initial step for website promotion or to get search
engine traffic.
• There are mainly two methods for search engine submission.
• The first method allows you to submit one page at a time by using a
webmaster tool like Google Webmaster Central or Bing Webmaster Tools.

• The second method allows you submit the entire site by submitting the
homepage.
Search Engine Submission Benefits
1.It allows you to inform search engines about your presence and the
product or services offered by you.
2.You can get your webpages indexed in multiple search engines like
Google, Yahoo and MSN.
3.It helps your site to be discovered quickly by web spiders and you
don't need to wait for the web crawler to find it organically.
4.It is cost effective as you do not have to pay to get your site listed into
search engines.
5.Thus, it improves your ranking in the search engine result pages.
Importance of Keyword

• Keywords - Keywords are the words and phrases people use to find
what they’re looking for on search engines. These terms or ‘keywords’
provide a digital marketer with valuable information about what their
audience is looking for and how they can adapt to their market.
• Increased visibility and traffic to the website - Using keywords in
digital marketing can significantly boost the visibility and traffic of a
website.
• By incorporating relevant keywords into website content, digital
marketing efforts, and search engine optimization strategies,
businesses can increase their chances of appearing at the top of
search engine results pages (SERPs) when users search for those
keywords.
• As a result, more potential customers are exposed to the business,
leading to increased traffic and potentially more conversions.
• Better targeting of the audience - Using keywords in digital marketing can greatly benefit
your overall strategy by better targeting your desired audience.

• By including relevant keywords in your website content, social media posts, and paid
advertising campaigns, you can ensure that your brand is more easily discoverable by
users who are searching for products or services similar to yours.

• This way, you can reach a more qualified and interested audience, resulting in higher
engagement and conversions.
• Improved user experience – By incorporating relevant keywords in
your website content and meta descriptions, you make it easier for
search engines to understand the topic of your website and present it
to the users who are searching for information related to those
keywords.
• Better conversion rates – Using keywords in digital marketing helps to
optimize your content for search engines, making it easier for
potential customers to find your website.
• This increased visibility can lead to higher conversion rates, as you are
reaching a wider, more relevant audience.
• Keywords can also help to target specific customer needs and search
queries, leading to a better user experience and higher chances of
conversion.
Pay Per Click (PPC)
• PPC stands for pay-per-click, a model of digital advertising where the
advertiser pays a fee each time one of their ads is clicked.
• Essentially, you’re paying for targeted visits to your website (or
landing page or app).
• When PPC is working correctly, the fee is trivial because the click is
worth more than what you pay for it.
• For example, if you pay $3 for a click, but the click results in a $300
sale, then you’ve made a hefty profit.
Google AdWords

• Google AdWords, now known as Google Ads, is a powerful advertising

platform offered by Google that allows businesses to display their ads

on Google's search engine results pages and across its extensive

network of partner websites.


Need of Google Ads

• Increase Online Visibility: Google is the most widely used search

engine, and Google Ads allows businesses to show their ads to

potential customers when they search for relevant keywords. This

helps increase online visibility and brand awareness.


• Targeted Advertising: Google Ads enables businesses to target

specific keywords, demographics, geographic locations, and even the

timing of ad displays. This ensures that ads are shown to a relevant

and interested audience.


• Cost Control: Advertisers have control over their budget. They can set

a daily or monthly budget, and Google Ads will never exceed that

limit. This makes it suitable for businesses with different budget sizes.
• Pay-Per-Click (PPC): With Google Ads, you only pay when someone

clicks on your ad. This means you're not paying for ad impressions

(views) but for actual interactions with your ad, making it a cost-

effective advertising model.


• Measurable Results: Google Ads provides detailed analytics and

reporting tools. Advertisers can track the performance of their ads,

measure the return on investment (ROI), and make data-driven

decisions to improve ad campaigns.


• Ad Format Variety: Google Ads supports various ad formats, including

text ads, display ads, video ads, and more. This flexibility allows

advertisers to choose the format that best suits their marketing goals.
• Ad Extensions: Advertisers can use ad extensions to provide

additional information or call-to-action buttons within their ads. This

can enhance the visibility and effectiveness of the ad.


• Competitive Advantage: Google Ads can help businesses outrank

competitors in search results, even if their organic search rankings are

lower. It levels the playing field for businesses of all sizes.


How Google Ad Works?

• 1. Advertisers create campaigns: To get started with Google Ads,

advertisers first need to create advertising campaigns. A campaign

consists of one or more ad groups, and each ad group contains a set

of keywords, ads, and a budget.


2. Keyword research: Advertisers need to select relevant keywords that

are related to their products or services. These keywords will trigger

their ads to appear when users search for those specific terms on

Google.
3. Ad creation: Advertisers create text, image, or video ads that are

designed to attract the attention of potential customers. These ads

typically include a headline, description, and a call to action.


4. Setting bids and budgets: Advertisers determine how much they are

willing to pay for each click on their ads (Cost-Per-Click or CPC). They

can also set daily or monthly budgets to control their ad spend.


5. Ad targeting: Google Ads offers various targeting options to reach a

specific audience. Advertisers can target by location, demographics,

interests, devices, and more. They can also use retargeting to show ads

to users who have previously visited their website.


6. Ad ranking: Ads are ranked based on Ad Rank, which is calculated by

multiplying the Quality Score (based on ad quality and landing page

experience) with the bid amount. Ad Rank determines the position of

the ad on the search results page.


7. Ad display: When a user's search query matches the selected

keywords, the ads from relevant advertisers enter the auction. The

winning ads are displayed on the search results page.


8. Pay-per-click: Advertisers are charged only when someone clicks on

their ad. The cost of each click is determined by the advertiser's bid

and the ad's Quality Score.


9. Performance tracking: Advertisers can use Google Ads' reporting

tools to track the performance of their campaigns. They can analyze

metrics such as click-through rate (CTR), conversion rate, and return on

investment (ROI).
10. Optimization: Advertisers can continuously optimize their

campaigns by adjusting keywords, ad copy, bids, and targeting settings

to improve their ad's performance and ROI.


Display Advertising
• A type of online advertisement that combines text, images, and a URL
that links to a website where a customer can learn more about or buy
products.
• There are many ad formats. These ads can be static with an image or
animated with multiple images, video, or changing text (also called
rich media ads).
• An ad campaign can have different goals, and some display ads
educate about the product while others are designed to entertain and
engage through simple games or puzzles.
• Banner ads are a common form of display ads that are frequently
used for awareness campaigns.
Types of Display Advertising
Remarketing Ads
• Most display ads you see today are remarketing ads, also known as
retargeting ads. Thanks to the trend toward ad personalization,
retargeting campaigns have become widespread.
• According to Accenture Interactive, 91% of consumers prefer to buy
from brands that remember their interests and provide offers based
on their needs. Retargeting ads do just that, and they're easy for
brands to implement. Here's how they work.
• To start, place a small section of code onto your website that collects
information about visitors' browsing behavior, including when they
navigate to a category or product page.
• From the information you collect, develop lists of customer types and
what kinds of advertising messages would most likely appeal to them.
• Then create and place display ads based on the different categories of
interest you have observed.
Personalized ads
• Google considers remarketing to be a subcategory of personalized
advertising, which can be effective when you segment your audience
to deliver a better user experience.
• Personalized ads target consumers based on demographic targeting
and the interests they have shown online.
• You can even create ads that show personalized product
recommendations based on a user’s recent interactions with your
website.
Contextually targeted ads
• Instead of displaying your ads to people based on their user profiles,
contextually targeted ads are placed on websites according to certain
criteria, including:
• Your ad's topic and keywords
• Your language and location preferences
• The host website's overarching theme
• The browsing histories of the website’s recent visitors
• You can let Google make these determinations, or you can take an active role
in it yourself through topic targeting.
Site-placed ads

• If you'd prefer to hand-pick the websites that will host your ad,
website placement targeting is your best bet. You can select entire
sites or individual pages within sites.

• You can even combine placement targeting with contextual targeting.


With this approach, you choose a site and let Google select the most
relevant pages for your ad.
Remarketing
• Remarketing in digital marketing is a form of online advertising in
which you connect with the people who have previously interacted
with your website or mobile application.
• It is a cost-effective way to increase your revenue as you are
interacting with those people who already have an interest in your
brand.
• Remarketing is the most valuable and effective strategy ever
introduced in marketing. The purpose of remarketing campaigns is to
show the ads to those who are already interested in your products
and services.
Types of Remarketing
Standard Remarketing:
• This type of remarketing involves displaying ads to the past visitors
who have visited your page but didn’t take any action.
• Standard remarketing also involves targeting visitors who use search
engines like Google, Bing etc. to search for keywords that are related
to your products or services that you are offering.
• For example, you search for SEO tools and then ads start to appear in
your search engine related to different SEO tools. This is actually
remarketing and is a great addition to an SEO campaign.
Dynamic Remarketing:
• Dynamic ads are those ads that are displayed to a person on the basis
of one’s specific behavior on your website or a webpage.
• This includes ad messages that are specifically created for a person
who is viewing it. It increases their chances of coming back to your
webpage for making a purchase.
• For example, in an eCommerce website, dynamic remarketing ads
include the exact shopping items that a visitor placed in their cart,
making them more likely to click the ad when they see that product
again.
Video Remarketing:
• Video remarketing is one of the important types of remarketing as
nowadays people prefer to watch videos. This type includes showing
display ads to only those visitors who have recently seen your videos
or to the people who have visited your website.
• There is also another option to display remarketing videos on
YouTube at the beginning or in-between ads.
• For example, you see the ads of educational institution ads while you
were seeing the video of taking admission to a university.
Email Remarketing:
• Email remarketing is one of the important remarketing in digital
marketing types. In this type, you start to display your ads to those
who have opened the email on your website, clicked the link but
didn’t make a purchase.
• You can send targeted follow up emails to those visitors and convince
them to come back on your website and make a purchase.
• For example, a shopping cart reminder email is one of the best
remarketing in digital marketing examples. A call to action (CTA)
button in the emails is a good thing for your website so it’s important
to include this in your initial email marketing strategy.
Viral Marketing

• Viral marketing seeks to spread information about a product or


service from person to person by word of mouth or sharing via the
Internet or email.

• The goal of viral marketing is to inspire individuals to share


a marketing message with friends, family, and other individuals to
create exponential growth in the number of its recipients.
• Viral marketing is a sales technique that involves organic or word-of-mouth
information about a product or service to spread at an ever-increasing rate.
• The Internet and the advent of social media have greatly increased the
number of viral messages in the form of memes, shares, likes, and
forwards.
• Some marketing campaigns try to trigger virality; however, many times just
exactly what goes viral remains a mystery.
• Once something goes viral, it is an easy and cheap way for a message to
gain popularity.
• Viral marketing can increase a company's reach and, ultimately, its
customer base.
How Viral Marketing Works

• In the case of viral marketing, "viral" refers to something that spreads


quickly and widely across its audience.

• Viral marketing is a deliberate enterprise, though the distribution of a


message happens organically. As such, social media provides the
perfect ecosystem for viral marketing, though it has its roots in
traditional word-of-mouth marketing.

Online Reputation Management

• Online Reputation Management (ORM) refers to the practice of monitoring and

influencing an individual's or organization's online reputation and public

perception.

• It involves taking proactive steps to manage, improve, and maintain a positive

online image and address any negative information or feedback that may be

circulating on the internet.


• Monitoring: The first step in ORM is to monitor what is being said

about an individual or organization online. This includes tracking

mentions, reviews, comments, and social media discussions. There

are various tools and services available to help automate this process.
• Assessment: After gathering data, it's essential to assess the overall

sentiment and impact of online mentions. Are people generally

positive, neutral, or negative about the entity? Identifying specific

issues or concerns is crucial.


• Content Creation: One way to influence online reputation is by

creating and promoting positive content. This can involve publishing

informative articles, blog posts, press releases, and other content that

highlights achievements, expertise, and positive aspects of the entity.


• Search Engine Optimization (SEO): ORM often includes optimizing

web content to ensure that positive information appears prominently

in search engine results. This helps push down negative or irrelevant

content that may be harming the online reputation.


• Social Media Management: Active management of social media

profiles and engagement with followers is essential. Responding to

comments and addressing concerns on social media platforms can

help build a positive image.


• Crisis Management: ORM also involves dealing with online crises or

negative publicity promptly and effectively. A well-planned crisis

management strategy can minimize the damage to an entity's

reputation during challenging times.


• Review Management: Encouraging satisfied customers or clients to

leave positive reviews on review websites and platforms can improve

online reputation. Conversely, addressing and resolving issues with

dissatisfied customers is vital.


• Legal Measures: In extreme cases, legal action may be necessary to

remove or mitigate false or damaging content. This can include issues

related to defamation, copyright infringement, or online harassment.

Mobile Marketing
• Mobile marketing is an advertising activity that uses mobile devices, such as text
promos and apps via push notifications.

• Mobile marketing audiences are grouped by behaviors and not by demographics.

• Mobile marketing is a subset of mobile advertising.

• Marketing faces privacy issues related to data collection.

• Mobile marketing is much more affordable than traditional marketing on


television and radio.
Advantages of Mobile Marketing

• Increased visibility and awareness: Mobile marketing enables you to

increase the visibility of your mobile app among your target audience.

Through various marketing channels, such as ASO, mobile ads, social

media promotion, and influencer partnerships, you can drive more

app downloads and attract users to discover and install your app.
• User acquisition and retention: A good mobile marketing strategy
can help you acquire new app users and retain existing ones. By
leveraging targeted advertising campaigns, referral programs, and
personalized messaging, you can attract new users while engaging
and retaining your current user base and minimizing churn.
• Engagement and conversion: By sending timely and relevant
messages, app updates, promotions, and personalized
recommendations, mobile marketing encourages users to interact
with the app more frequently and for longer durations.
• This increased engagement fosters a deeper connection between
users and the app, leading to higher user retention and loyalty.
Additionally, mobile marketing tactics like optimized user experiences,
streamlined checkout processes, and mobile payment solutions
contribute to smoother and more convenient app usage, resulting in
improved conversion rates.
• In-app marketing: Ads, sponsored content, or in-app messages which
leverage the captive audience and engaged user base within an app.
• Social media marketing: Organic social media marketing involves
regularly creating and sharing valuable and relevant content such as
posts, images, videos, and stories, to connect with followers and build
a community. Organic social media marketing focuses on fostering
genuine relationships, encouraging user-generated content (UGC),
and leveraging the power of word-of-mouth marketing.
• Location-based marketing: Communications (notifications or ads) that
appear on mobile devices based on a user’s location relative to a specific
area. There are several types of location-based marketing, including
proximity marketing, which utilizes technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or
near-field communication (NFC) to detect and engage with users who are
in close proximity to a physical location, and geofencing, which sets virtual
boundaries or perimeters around specific locations using GPS or cellular
data.
• Search engine marketing: Organic search marketing focuses on optimizing
a website's content, structure, and relevance to improve its visibility and
rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs) organically.’

• Paid search marketing, also known as pay-per-click or PPC marketing,


involves advertisers bidding on specific keywords to display their ads
prominently in search engine results for those words.
• SMS marketing: Texting a user’s phone number with specific offers or
notifications of upcoming deals. SMS marketing can also be location-
based. WhatsApp marketing functions in the same manner but relies
on the use of WhatsApp’s application rather than SMS.
