Digital Marketing
Description
Digital marketing is the practice of using digital channels to promote a product or service. This includes a variety of tactics, such as search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, social media marketing, email marketing, and content marketing.
The goal of digital marketing is to reach a targeted audience and drive conversions, whether that's sales, leads, or some other type of action. By using digital channels, businesses can reach potential customers where they spend a lot of their time - online.
One of the key benefits of digital marketing is the ability to track and measure the effectiveness of each tactic. With tools such as Google Analytics, businesses can see how much traffic each channel is driving to their website, which channels are driving the most conversions, and what changes they can make to improve their results.
