Building Keyword Optimisation Strategies for Competitive Markets
A working programme in competitive keyword optimisation for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Attribution in competitive keyword optimisation is imperfect; that is not a reason to stop measuring it. A message about this strand of marketing and commercial practice that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. The programme works equally well for those formalising the marketing and commercial practice capability for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place competitive keyword optimisation among the areas with the widest performance spread. Improvement in this aspect of marketing and commercial practice stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It treats this area of marketing and commercial practice as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. They leave able to brief senior management on competitive keyword optimisation in terms that support a decision. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the marketing and commercial practice capability hard in practice. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within marketing and commercial practice sustainable.
