Day 1

Digital Marketing Foundations

Understand what digital marketing is, its core channels, and how customers move from strangers to buyers.

Theory — Hour 1

What is Digital Marketing?

  • Promoting products or services using the internet and digital channels — search, social media, email and websites.
  • Cheaper, faster and more measurable than traditional marketing (TV, print, banners).
  • Every rupee spent can be tracked — you know exactly what works.

The Core Channels

  • SEO — getting found on Google for free (organic).
  • SEM / Google Ads — paid ads on search results.
  • Social Media — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn for reach & engagement.
  • Content Marketing — blogs, videos and posts that attract customers.
  • Email Marketing — direct messages to interested people.

The Marketing Funnel

  • Awareness: people discover your brand (social, SEO, ads).
  • Consideration: they compare and evaluate (content, reviews).
  • Conversion: they buy or enquire (landing pages, offers).
  • Retention: they come back (email, remarketing).

Practical — Hour 2

  • Pick any local business and list which digital channels it uses (or is missing).
  • Map one product's customer journey across the four funnel stages.

Key Takeaways

  • Digital marketing = reaching the right person, on the right channel, at the right stage.
  • Everything is measurable — that's its biggest advantage over traditional marketing.

Day 2

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Learn how to get a website ranked higher on Google — for free, organic traffic.

Theory — Hour 1

How Search Engines Work

  • Google crawls, indexes and ranks pages based on relevance and quality.
  • Higher ranking = more clicks = more customers, without paying per click.

On-Page SEO

  • Title tag & meta description — what shows in Google results.
  • Headings (H1, H2) and keyword placement in content.
  • Clean URLs, image alt text and internal links.

Off-Page & Technical SEO

  • Backlinks: other trusted sites linking to you = authority.
  • Technical: fast loading, mobile-friendly, secure (HTTPS).
  • Local SEO: Google Business Profile for 'near me' searches.

Example: a well-optimised page title & meta

<title>Best Web Development in Nagercoil | QDCODEX</title>
<meta name="description"
  content="Affordable web development in Nagercoil from
  Rs.3,000. Mobile-friendly, SEO-ready websites.">

Practical — Hour 2

  • Do keyword research for a business using Google autocomplete & 'people also ask'.
  • Write an SEO-friendly title + meta description for a sample page.

Key Takeaways

  • SEO brings free, long-term traffic — but it takes time to build.
  • Good titles, keywords, fast mobile pages and backlinks are the core of ranking.

Day 3

Social Media Marketing

Build a brand and engage customers on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Theory — Hour 1

Choosing the Right Platform

  • Instagram & Facebook: B2C, visual products, local businesses.
  • LinkedIn: B2B, professional services, recruitment.
  • Go where your audience already spends time — don't try to be everywhere.

Content That Works

  • Mix content types: educational, promotional, behind-the-scenes, reels.
  • Consistency beats perfection — a regular posting schedule wins.
  • Use strong visuals, clear captions and relevant hashtags.

Organic vs Paid

  • Organic: free reach through followers and shares (slower).
  • Paid: boost posts & run ads to reach a targeted audience fast.
  • Engagement (likes, comments, saves) signals quality to the algorithm.

Practical — Hour 2

  • Create a 1-week content calendar (7 post ideas) for a sample brand.
  • Write 3 engaging captions with a call-to-action and hashtags.

Key Takeaways

  • Pick 1–2 platforms and post consistently rather than spreading thin.
  • Engagement and reels drive the most organic reach today.

Day 4

Google Ads & Paid Advertising

Run paid campaigns that put your business in front of ready-to-buy customers.

Theory — Hour 1

Types of Ads

  • Search ads: appear when someone searches a keyword (high intent).
  • Display ads: banners on websites (awareness).
  • Social ads: Facebook/Instagram ads targeted by interests & demographics.

How Google Ads is Structured

  • Campaign → Ad Group → Keywords → Ads — a clear hierarchy.
  • You bid on keywords; you pay only when someone clicks (PPC).
  • Quality Score: relevant ads + good landing pages = lower cost.

Budgets & ROI

  • Set a daily budget and track cost-per-click and cost-per-lead.
  • Always send clicks to a focused landing page, not the homepage.
  • Measure ROI: revenue earned vs ad spend.

Example: a high-converting search ad

Headline 1: Web Development in Nagercoil
Headline 2: Websites from Rs.3,000 · Free Quote
Description: Mobile-friendly, SEO-ready sites.
            Get a free estimate in 2 minutes!

Practical — Hour 2

  • Choose 5 keywords for a sample business and group them logically.
  • Write a search ad (2 headlines + description) for those keywords.

Key Takeaways

  • Search ads target high-intent buyers — you pay only per click.
  • Relevant keywords + a focused landing page = lower cost, better results.

Day 5

Analytics, Tools & Capstone Campaign

Measure performance with analytics and pull everything together into a real campaign plan.

Theory — Hour 1

Measuring What Matters

  • Google Analytics: track visitors, traffic sources, and conversions.
  • Key metrics: traffic, bounce rate, CTR, conversion rate, ROI.
  • Google Search Console: see which keywords bring you visitors.

Essential Free Tools

  • Google Analytics & Search Console — performance tracking.
  • Canva — designing posts & creatives. Meta Business Suite — scheduling.
  • Google Keyword Planner & Trends — research.

Building a Campaign

  • Set a goal (leads, sales, followers) and a KPI to measure it.
  • Choose channels, budget and content for your target audience.
  • Launch, track results, and optimise what's working.

Practical — Hour 2

  • Read a sample analytics report and identify the best-performing channel.
  • Build a complete mini campaign plan (goal, audience, channels, budget, KPI) and present it.

Key Takeaways

  • If you can't measure it, you can't improve it — analytics is essential.
  • A real campaign plan for your portfolio is the best proof of your skills.
