Why you should write postings at LinkedIn. How to write postings and to get thousands of views for your postings for free.
How to search for jobs.
How to see comparative salary information so you know how to negotiate.
How to be recommended as a contractor at LinkedIn.

Optimize Your Company Page in LinkedIn:

For those at companies and want to use LPO, we’ll also look at improving your company’s LinkedIn page.

The background and profile’s photo for your company page.
The summary text for your page.
Improve your company page’s score by improving your staff’s score.
How to get thousands of views of your company posts.

Key Takeaways:

You’ll learn how the LinkedIn search algorithm works so your profile will rank higher in searches.
How to improve your LinkedIn profile, step by step.
How to see your hidden LinkedIn score so you can see when you improve your profile.

List of the top 25 most demanded skills in 2020 that recruiters seek.

This workshop on Google Ads (search engine marketing, SEM) is led by Andreas Ramos, author of 18+ books on digital marketing. He was the head of Global SEO at Cisco, where he worked with 44 languages in 85 countries. He also founded three digital agencies (one with 170 staff) and was the head of the digital agency at Acxiom, which did digital marketing for Fortune 200 companies.

This workshop is part two of a 3-part Google Ads series offered by the DMAnc.org covering three major areas of managing and optimizing your Google Ads account. You can take these courses individually à la carte or enroll in the entire 3-part series for a special bundle discount. Included in the bundle are the Google Ads Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced workshops. Learn more here.

What You’ll Learn in this Workshop:

In this workshop, you’ll see how to add keywords to your account, how to use all five match modes, and how to test to find the best ones. How keywords, ads, and landing pages work together in Google Ads, with an example of text ads, image ads, and the landing page.

After that, we dig into the types of ads, including Expanded Text Ads (ETAs), Responsive Text Ads (RTAs), and Dynamic Search Ads (DSAs), and how they work.

You’ll learn cool tricks with dynamic insertion that let you set up countdown clocks (“Offer ends in 4 days, 6 hours, 22 minutes!”), or the city (“Available in Dallas”) in your ads. Other bits of code let you give special offers to mobile users or returning visitors. You get the code and examples that you can copy, paste, and edit for your ads.

Finally, we look at A/B Split Testing. You’ll see how to do this without any special software. You’ll also see how to tell which ad is statistically better just by adding a small number. And much more….

Wherever possible, Andreas adds tips, notes, and insights to the slides, so you get information and his experience.

Key Takeaways:

The four keyword match modes, including negative keywords, how they differ, and how to use them.
How to easily add thousands of keywords to your account.
How keywords, ads, and landing pages work together in Google Ads, with an example of text ads, image ads, and the landing page.
You’ll see where your ads appear in the Google search engine, on Google sites such as Gmail, Maps, and so on, plus the several million sites in the Google Ads distribution network.
We cover the types of ads in Google Ads, including Expanded Text Ads (ETAs), Responsive Text Ads (RTAs), and Dynamic Search Ads (DSAs) with an example of actual data.
How to use dynamic insertion in your ads so your visitors’ keywords are inserted into your ad, live countdown clocks (“Offer ends in 4 days, 6 hours, 22 minutes!”), or location (“Available in Dallas”).
You can also use dynamic insertion code to show offers to different audiences. For example, new visitors see a 10% offer and returning visitors see a 30% offer.
You can also use dynamic insertion code to insert an image from your landing page into your text ad, such as an image of the product, your company logo, and so on.
Responsive Display Ads (RDAs) let you create ads that self-adjust to any device screen.
We also show you a tip on how to get your ad to take over the entire mobile screen so your ad is the only thing your visitors see.
You can use dynamic insertion for mobile ads, so desktop visitors see one offer while mobile visitors see another offer, such as “Free shipping for mobile orders!”
We look at the difference between contextual and behavioral display ads.
How to get ideas for display ads.
How to use remarketing.
A few slides with notes on ad fraud.
How to understand the data to see which is the best ad.
You can use A/B Split Tests to test ads so you can develop the best ad (with examples and data). You can use A/B split tests without any special tools. You’ll be able to get your team of interns to write better ads than people with 10 years of experience.
A simple way to see which ad has statistical confidence in an A/B split test. With an easy trick, you can quickly pick out the best ads.
And finally, see the app for Google Ads so you can manage ads on your phone while you’re on the sofa, on the beach, or in bed at 4 a.m.

Use SEO for Digital Marketing

Why Take this Course

Your website must show up in Google. This three-workshop series shows you what to do to get your pages higher on Google to get more visitors, leads, and sales. We show you how to use testing to find the best keywords, titles, and images for your pages.

We cover the four major areas of SEO:

Keyword research: How to find the best keywords and spoken queries.
On-page SEO: How to improve what your visitors see on the page.
Technical SEO: How to fix many small technical issues.
Off-page SEO: Additional steps to improve your page’s ranking in Google.

The workshops include lots of examples, tips, notes, and insights so you’ll understand what these mean. You’ll see dozens of tactics to apply, including code for you to copy, edit, paste, and use. You can also apply many ideas from SEO to your digital ads, social media, video, and content marketing.

The SEO course is presented in three workshops.

New Tactics for 2022

The DMAnc.org SEO course has been completely updated for 2022. You’ll see methods on how to test keywords, meta-tags, pages, and more to get data so you can find the best results. We’ve added many new SEO tactics, tools, and methods. You’ll also see a unique section on how to understand the data for statistical confidence (using basic arithmetic). No other course or book offers this.

Part 1: SEO Keyword Research

Individual live online workshops $300 each, Now $225 each. Enroll here for SEO Fundamentals LIVE, Friday, September 23, 2022 (12:00 pm to 2:00 pm PDT).

Special Series Pricing: All three SEO live online workshops + Mobile-first Design for ~~$1,200~~ $675. Enroll here.

The first session starts with Keyword Research, the basic first step of SEO. You’ll see how to use eight advanced tools to find the keywords that your audience uses to search for your company, products, and services. You’ll also see how to find the keywords that bring traffic to your competitors. You use these keywords and keyword phrases to write your meta-tags (TITLE tags and DESCRIPTION tags), page headings, body text, image captions, links, and more.

Like keyword research, you’ll also see how to find the questions that your audience uses about your company, products, and services. You can use these questions to write pages, ads, social posts, content marketing, and make videos.

The secret to keyword research is testing. Which keyword works best? You test the words to collect data. There is an easy way to quickly test thousands of keywords to find the ones that work for you. You’ll al-so see how to convert all keywords to lower case in one step, sort keywords into categories, make per-mutations of the best keywords, and quickly translate keywords into other languages.

Key Takeaways:

Keyword Research: We look at free tools to find thousands of keywords, including your competitors’ keywords. You’ll also see how to find the questions that your audience uses when they search.
You’ll see how to test keywords to find the best ones. Use a free tool to make permutations of your top keywords to get yet more keywords and another free tool to translate your keywords into other languages.
Finally, we look at how Google reviews and selects websites. What are their selection criteria? What do Google’s 8,000 Quality Reviewers look for? This gives you ideas for improving your pages and avoiding red flags.
Sections include checklists for your work.

The live presentations lets you ask your questions.
Take the recorded presentations if the course doesn’t fit in your calendar.

Michele De VenutoMarketing Programs Manager, JBJS, Inc.

Lynn DesrochersDigital Marketing Manager, AAA Northeast

I highly recommend this course, I have average knowledge in Google Ads and was hesitant about purchasing the Fundamentals on top of the Intermediate and Advanced but am so happy that I did. Andreas Ramos is an expert, his knowledge and experience speak for itself, but he also gives you secrets.

This course is a great way to get unbiased, professional and tested information.

The presentation was very detailed without being overwhelming to a beginner. I would recommend this workshop.

Holly StewartMarketing Specialist, Hankin Group

It is hard when you don’t know what you don’t know and then you don’t know what questions to ask. This was a great overview for someone like me who has been working in GAd, familiar with the program, but not how or what makes any difference.

Marlene HallackAdvertising Manager, Towlift, Inc.

I don’t directly handle our PPC – I oversee the third party that does. This gave me solid insights into the platform itself, so I can more effectively manage our vendor. They’ve done well, but our account has become more complex and being able to ask relevant questions, more fully understand the answers, and be able to look into our account on my own and know what ALL of it means will only help.

Jennifer AllenTesting and Analytics Manager

This workshop put the extremely complex world of Google Ads and Ad Words into a presentation that ordinary people can understand.
