Paid Advertising and Web Analytics for Data-Driven Campaign Performance

Paid media can drive measurable results when campaigns are planned with clear objectives and tracked accurately. Without analytics, it is difficult to know what is working, what needs improvement, and whether spend is creating real value. Paid advertising and web analytics work together to support controlled experimentation, optimisation, and clear reporting.

This course provides a structured approach to planning, launching, and optimising paid media campaigns across key channels, including search advertising, display networks, and paid social media. Students learn how to align campaigns to target audiences and measurable objectives, choose appropriate bidding and payment models, and structure ads and landing page considerations to support conversion. Web analytics is used to track performance, interpret data, improve conversion rates, increase return on ad spend, and communicate results through clear campaign reports. Practical learning strengthens readiness for real-world campaign management and ongoing optimisation.

This course is delivered by Digital School of Marketing. On successful completion, the certificate is issued by the delivering partner college. Certificates per completed module may be issued where offered.
