WHAT YOU’LL PRACTICE

Distinguish owned, paid and earned channels. Match a message to the audience’s current question. Create truthful copy with one clear call to action.
Connect search intent with substantive page content. Write a clear title, heading and page outline. Separate crawlability from guaranteed indexing or ranking.
Use source, medium and campaign tags consistently. Calculate rates with explicit denominators. Recognize attribution gaps and duplicate events.
Calculate cost per registration without confusing revenue or profit. Separate observed differences from causal evidence. Propose a controlled, pre-specified test.
Check generated claims against an approved fact sheet. Build a reproducible campaign work sample. Describe practice work and limitations honestly.
