Curriculum
- 01
Being found
Google Business Profile, local search, and the fundamentals that decide whether you appear at all.
- 02
Keyword research & prioritisation
Find real demand, weigh difficulty against value, and choose what is worth competing for.
- 03
The tracking stack
GA4, Tag Manager, Search Console, and conversion events, verified end to end rather than assumed.
- 04
Paid social campaigns
Objectives, audiences, lookalikes, and budgets that clear the learning phase.
- 05
Creative testing at volume
Build and run many concepts, and learn to read the result instead of guessing.
- 06
Qualification & deciding
Filter leads before the pipeline, then judge cost per qualified lead against what a customer is worth.
Assessment & certificate
An on-site session. Competency is confirmed through a hands-on assessment: each participant launches a live campaign with conversion tracking verified end to end, then presents a read of the first results against a cost-per-qualified-lead target, assessed against a published checklist. Certificate of completion provided.
