Conversion: the ultimate goal in advertising and marketing campaigns is to convert people, from having an initial interest to completing a sale. FACEBOOK advertisements
SERP: using search engine optimization (pushing content to the top if any specific search) to drive high placement during keyword searches

Off-page optimization: a function that links similar pages
Instagram commands one of the highest audience engagement rates in social media, 58% higher than facebook and 2000% higher than twitter.
Pinterest is unique. It’s visual, like instagram, but unlike instagram, it is highly targeted toward women with an 81% female user base.
Snapchat reaches 41% of all 18-34 year olds in the United States on any given day.
usage, groups: depends on your demographic and who you are targeting, if it’s women only you may want to use pinterest, 18-34 age rang you may want to use instagram, etc.
Preferred media, ad targeting
Testing required
For instance, I post advertisements for Kean on LinkedIn, Higheredjobs, Academic Keys, etc.
You have to present a compelling offer via a compelling medium to people who will actually find it compelling, in a place those people actually see it.
This is the cheapest way to run ad campaigns in terms of operating costs. Simply run them yourself. There are no special requirements to manually run a campaign, just head to the platform you wish to advertise on and set up your campaign on their website. A lot of work, no expertise.
Use 3rd party tools. Not the most user friendly and pricey but allows you to keep tabs on performance without doing anything else. Ideal for businesses.
The simplest and most successful. Let experts handle it for you. Hiring an advertising team but have to due your due diligence or it won’t work out. For big businesses.
At Kean we use manual advertisements. All advertisements are posted on our webpage, along with several other pages such as Higheredjobs, academic keys, the chronicle, the star ledger, higher education recruitment consortium.
The main social media outlet we use is LinkedIn.
