Select Your Level

Level: Beginner
Purpose

This level introduces the practical side of running search advertising: what needs checking, how often, and which settings cause the most damage when they are left wrong.

Outcome

You finish able to set a campaign up correctly first time, carry out a basic weekly check with confidence, and recognise the settings that quietly waste budget if nobody looks at them.

What You'll Learn

  • You study campaign settings and their consequences, location and schedule targeting, keyword organisation, ad extensions, budget checks, and the reports worth opening before anything else
Credits 287 CREDITS
Level: Intermediate
Purpose

This level builds the structure and discipline that keep a search account healthy as it grows beyond the point where everything can be held in mind at once. Structure is treated as the thing that makes all later work possible.

Outcome

You are able to organise an account so that others can work in it, allocate budget with a reason for each decision, and keep records that explain why the account looks the way it does.

What You'll Learn

  • You work through account architecture, naming conventions, budget allocation between campaigns, search term mining, audience layering, reporting templates and change logs that make decisions traceable later
Credits 499 CREDITS
Level: Advanced
Purpose

This level develops the analysis and planning needed to manage search advertising where competition is heavy, margins are thin and every inefficiency shows up in the numbers.

Outcome

You can manage a demanding account against a clear efficiency target, identify where campaigns compete with each other, and argue convincingly for moving budget when the data supports it.

What You'll Learn

  • You study competitive auction analysis, bid strategy selection, seasonality and demand forecasting, incrementality testing, cross-campaign cannibalisation and building a case for changing budget mid-quarter
Credits 682 CREDITS
Level: Expert
Purpose

This level suits readers responsible for search advertising as a whole, setting the standards and priorities that other people manage against day to day. The work is judged on how well other people can operate within it.

Outcome

You are able to govern search advertising across many accounts, set measurement and automation standards others follow, and defend the channel's share of investment with consistent evidence.

What You'll Learn

  • You cover portfolio budget planning, account governance and audit, automation policy, measurement standards, agency and platform relationships, and how paid search is positioned within total marketing investment
