Public Mobile focuses on digital and social media marketing with SEO and paid search advertising. The website provides inexpensive cell phone plans with no contracts or credit checks, targeting newcomers, youth, and those with tight budgets or savings goals. However, the site lacks modern design, information about the company, and media coverage. Recommendations include redesigning the logo, improving graphics, adding varied content like videos, and engaging customers through live chat and a community cause.
2. Advertising
• Public Mobile focus on digital and Social Media to let people know
about the company
• Uses SEO at Google like: cheap cell phone or inexpensive

brand

the Community is the same everywhere on the site

budget
