CASE STUDY SCENARIO
The college at which you are currently studying this subject wishes to extend its use of Social Media to interact more effectively and efficiently with both current and future students. In particular, the Marketing Manager wishes to increase the number of enrollments in current courses which cater for students in the 18-35-year old age group. Potential students live in both Australia and overseas.

a. Briefly explain what you understand by Search Engine Optimization.
b. Do you think it would be a good idea to spend the $500 per month budget with a Search Engine Optimization Provider? Provide reasons for your answer.
