Use LinkedIn Profile Optimization (LPO) to Rank Higher on LinkedIn

Why Take this Course?

Just as Google has an algorithm that selects the best pages, you also have a score at LinkedIn. Your LinkedIn score is part of the ranking for your profile. It also determines how many people will view your posts.

Just as you use SEO to get a webpage to show higher in the Google search engine, you use LinkedIn Profile Optimization (LPO) to improve your profile’s visibility.

You’ll learn how the LinkedIn search algorithm works and how to improve your LinkedIn profile, step by step. How to write posts on LinkedIn, and how to improve your company’s LinkedIn page. Improve your company page’s score by improving your employees’ and executives’ score. The workshop is hands-on with a focus on how to edit and improve your LinkedIn profile. Every item has clear examples you can copy and use for your profile

If you’ve been tasked with maintaining your company’s LinkedIn profile, disappointing results and negligible impact can make it the least exciting task on your very full plate.

Optimizing Social Media for Marketing

March 25, 2021

Date: Friday, March 25, 2022
DMAnc.org Live Online Certification Workshop
(9:00 am – 11:00 am PDT)

Summer Discount: 25% Off
Free Lifetime Workshop Updates

Regularly ~~$300~~, Now $225

The Goal of this Course:

Join us for this deep-dive workshop on how to use social media for your digital marketing. You’ll learn practical and tactical techniques to combine organic social media and paid social media (advertising in social media) to complement your organization’s overall marketing strategy.

This workshop cover the six major social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube.

Optimizing Social Media for Marketing

We start by looking at how to increase the free distribution of your organic posts. The social sites look for quality and engagement of your profile and posts.

We’ll show you specific steps to improve the quality of your business profile, posts, photos, and video, along with business examples. This includes tools, tips, and ideas for business content. What kind of photos and videos should you use? We add notes on the various photo formats, how to improve photos with filters, and lists of where to find free images and videos. Social media management tools make the work easier.

Engagement is measured with likes, comments, shares, dwell, and so on. We’ll look at LinkedIn’s algorithm, which serves as a model for the other platforms.

You can reach further audiences by using advertising. Organic social posts are generally shown to only about 5% of your followers. To reach more of your followers or other people on social media, you must use advertising. Several social media platforms also allow you to set up stores.

There is also social media analytics, UTM tags, and KPIs. You’ll also see how to find your social media data in Google Analytics 3.0 and 4.0.

Key Takeaways:

The goal of social media.
Comparison of platforms.
Social media.
Business pages.
#Hashtags.
Social media management tools.
Advertising tools in social media.
Social media analytics in the platforms.
Analytics data in Google Analytics 3.0 and 4.0.

The Presentation:

This is a live presentation so you can ask questions during the presentation. If we don’t get through all of the questions during the workshop, the speaker will answer your questions after the workshop.
The presentation is recorded so you can review it later or listen to it if you miss the event.
If you have schedule conflicts, you can take the course as recorded video. In addition, you’re welcome to send questions by email.
Step-by-step instructions in numbered lists with the links so you can do this yourself, along with lots of illustrations and examples. You can copy the examples, edit them, and use them in your work.

We will cover how to measure social media’s impact on your sales funnel, which metrics to track, a list of the main KPIs, and tracking tools.

We’ll also look at common features of all social media: profiles, posts, photos, #hashtags, account management tools, and analytics, with specific notes for each platform.
