Paid Search Engine Marketing

Paid search ads allow you to target people who are searching for things to do in particular places or at particular times. You can link users directly from your ads to landing pages on your website that reflect their search interest and that encourage them to book, subscribe, or share. This session will introduce you to best practices for planning, creating, and managing paid search campaigns — including campaigns subsidised by Google through the Ad Grants programme, which provides not-for-profit organisations with up to USD $10,000 per month in advertising spend.

Sign up for Google Ad Grants  here: https://www.google.com/grants/get-started/. This outlines the process, and there’s a video to walk you through the set up process.

Measuring and Optimising Digital Engagement

The RAISE engagement framework identifies the five main stages in the visitor journey. It defines what you need to do in order to: reach people through direct, search, and referral channels; attract them to your website; involve them with your products and content; satisfy their needs; and extend engagement by driving people to subscribe and share. This session explains how you can use RAISE to measure visitor engagement, plan marketing and communications, create an effective website, and optimise conversion through booking, subscription, and sharing goals. It will also introduce you to the benchmark reports you are receiving as part of Culture & Tourism Connected, ensuring you can understand those reports and take action to improve engagement with your visitors.
