In accordance with your strategy, we can create and maintain relevant on-page and off-page SEO rich content, as well as develop quality external linking. All reporting and analysis on these campaigns is covered within the grant and as part of the overall SEO process.
Google Ads and Social Media Campaigns
As Google partners, we are experts in developing and monitoring Google advertisements to target specific audiences. Whilst the Small Business Growth Grant does not cover the cost of the Google Ads budget itself, it can cover their implementation and management.
Using the grant, we can also develop social media campaigns, including their research, planning and creative development. This can also include attention-grabbing content marketing on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn through both organic and paid posting and monitoring. Again, the grant, however, will not cover the cost of the META Ads budget.
