EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project work was pursued as a part of MBA (Master of Business Administration)
curriculum at Brainware university.
• First phase
In this phase of my internship, my task was to get familiar with services offered by my
organisations and how digital marketing was done in my organization. After learning
every basic practices of digital marketing and how it was being implemented in my
organization, I was implementing basics of SEO, SMM, Content marketing and Email
marketing under my supervisor as my tasks. In this, I was performing basic keyword
search without tool, and extracting emails of our target audience.
• Second Phase
Next, I was put into a team of Digital Marketing group There were 5 groups and I was in
3 of them names Black Duck (SEO), Adam (Content Marketing) and Coldberg (cold
calling and Emailing) where my basic task was to perform keyword research with proper
tools and implement them on different web pages. Simultaneously I was extracting emails
for email marketing team. Working with 3 different team and coordinating with them
increased my team player efficiency. At the end of this phase I started making blogs and
creating content for website while doing my basic task i.e. keyword research for different
channels.

• Third phase
In this phase my management skills increased as I was promoted from an intern to team
leader where I had to handle a team of SEO (Black Duck) while Coordinating with
Content marketing (Adam), specifically for Keyword research and competition analysis
where we were also using those trending and user-friendly keywords to make content for
blog and articles for our webpage. We were analysing competitors and finding unique
keywords which they were using, and we were not, so that we could implement those
keywords in our website and make relevant content from those keyword.
• Fourth phase
In this phase we were working on generating backlinks, via many ways like getting
referred from article, broken link technique, internal linking etc while also performing all
task mentioned on first 3 phase. At the end of this phase as a team leader, I was taking
sessions for new interns about keyword and things I learned and implemented and how
can we use them effectively and efficiently for improving our digital presence.
Digital marketing is not just one thing, it is combination of different things, quality
content is as much important as the way it will be scanned by google to rank you up or
down. That’s where the role of keywords and putting them strategically around website
is necessary or you won’t get visible. I got plethora opportunities where I performed
tasks before deadline and applied my knowledge of marketing and consumer behaviour
which I got from Jamia Hamdard which helped a lot in growth of organization and my
growth too.

OVERVIEW OF PROJECT
❖ DIGITAL MARKETING
Digital marketing, also called online marketing, is the promotion of brands to connect
with potential customers using the internet and other forms of digital communication.
This includes not only email, social media, and web-based advertising, but also text and
multimedia messages as a marketing channel. Essentially, if a marketing campaign
involves digital communication, it's digital market. It can take many forms, including
online video, display ads, search engine marketing, paid social ads and social media
posts. Any marketing that uses electronic devices and can be used by marketing
specialists to convey promotional messaging and measure its impact through your
customer journey.
Any type of marketing can help your business thrive. However, digital marketing has
become increasingly important because of how accessible digital channels are. In fact,
there were 5 billion internet users globally in April 2022 alone. Additionally, digital
marketing has minimal upfront costs, making it a cost-effective marketing technique for
small businesses.
12
❖ TYPES OF DIGITAL MARKETNG
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is technically a marketing tool rather than a form of
marketing in itself. The Balance defines it as “the art and science of making web pages
attractive to search engines.” (It is done organically, not paid.)
The "art and science" part of SEO is what’s most important. SEO is a science because it
requires you to research and weigh different contributing factors to achieve the highest
possible ranking on a search engine results page (SERP) but the unpredictability involved
makes it an art.
Ultimately, the goal is to rank on the first page of a search engine’s result page. This
ensures that those searching for a specific query related to your brand can easily find your
products or services. While there are many search engines, digital marketers often focus
on Google since it's a global leader in the search engine market.
13
On Page vs Off Page SEO
On Page SEO involves optimizing content, meta tags, and other element on your own
site’s pages like, Content marketing, Keyword optimization, Images, Page speed etc.
It involves any activity that drive awareness and referral traffic to your site from other
sites like Link building, Guest blogging, Social media etc
• EMAIL MARKETNG
Type of digital marketing that uses email to promote your business’s productor service. It
makes your customer aware of your latest items or offers. Email marketing can help you
build a relationship with your audience while also driving traffic to your blog, social
media, or anywhere else you’d like folks to visit. You can even segment your emails and
target users by demographic so you’re only sending people the messages they want to see
most.
14
Email marketing also allows you to run A/B tests of a subject line or call to action to
identify the best performing message by using email marketing software that can also be
configured to easily send out emails.
Social media marketing is a form of digital marketing that leverages the power of popular
social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to achieve your marketing
and branding goals. Social media marketing also includes paid social media advertising,
where you can pay to have your business appear in front of large volumes of highly
targeted users.
The power of social media marketing comes from the unparalleled capacity of social
media in three core marketing areas: connection, interaction, and customer data. Social
media marketing has transformed the way businesses are able to influence consumer
15
behaviour, from promoting content that drives engagement to extracting personal data
that makes messaging resonate with users.
It includes Profile Optimization (accurate, complete, active, link to website and has
CTA), Posting (useful, entertaining, relevant posts, photos, videos lives stories etc.)
Engaging (like, share, comment, follow, influencers etc), Advertising (paid method of
reaching target audience) and Measuring (use platform and website analytics to see
what’s working).
Social Media Marketing is rated 2nd by marketers on the effectiveness of digital media
channels.
• CONTENT MARKETING
The goal of content marketing is to attract leads that ultimately convert into customers.
But it does so differently than traditional advertising. Instead of enticing prospects with
16
potential value from a product or service, it offers value for free in the form of written
material like Blog post, E-Books, Newsletters, Video or audio Transcripts, Whitepapers,
Infographics. (Thakur, n.y) & (Marketing, 2016)

INTERNSHIP AT THE ORGANIZATION
❖ SEARCH ENGINE
At start, I learned about search engine and how search engine work i.e. process of search
engine, which was relevant to search engine optimization.
In this we learned about Search engine and how it is a brilliantly executed software
system designed to carry out web searches. Then we learned about Search engine process
i.e.:
We understood this process to Optimizing our blogs, webpages etc so that it would be
easy for crawlers/bot to access/scan our webpages.
• Ranking – In this process, Google algorithm ranks all the indexed data/URLs
according to various factors (200+ factors).
Understanding how Google algorithm rank websites was important as it would help us in
creating optimum content with potential keywords which would boost our ranking on
SERP and increase traffic.
21
❖ DIFFERENT TOOLS WE USED FOR KEYWORD RESEARCH
AND SEO :
• Google Keyword Planner (for hunting down keywords and competition analysis)
• Answerthepublic.com (for checking recent popular queries/trends)
• Checkmylink extension (to check broken link)
• Google webmaster tool (to view stats about bot accessibility and inbound outbound
links on our site)
❖ KEYWORDS
• In first 2 weeks, my task was to find suitable keyword relevant to the content in our
organization’s website, and for that I was taught everything about keyword.
• Keywords are ideas or topic that define what your content is about. Basically,
keyword is anything that a user search for (here, in search engine).
22
There are 3 types of keyword:
Knowing about keyword was important as it would help to increase traffic and boost our
search engine result page ranking.
Further we focused on how to find keywords and how to hunt down keywords without
any tool on various platforms like Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Reddit etc.
Next week we focused on how to hunt down keywords by using various online unpaid
tools like SEMrush, Google Keyword Planner etc.
Further we did competitor analysis via keyword research using various tools.
23
❖ KEYWORD RESEARCH
• Keywords and proper keyword research are the foundation of search engine
optimization. If nobody is searching for what you are writing about, you won’t get any
traffic from Google no matter how hard you try.
• For good keyword research we need to understand our target audience and how they
are searching our contact.
24
Low competition keyword > High competition keyword
High search volume keyword > Low search volume keyword
• Choose the best keyword to target
• Finally we chose most potential keyword according to the tools we used which are :
Google keyword planner, UberSuggest etc.
Below is the screenshot of Google keyword planner which we used for keyword research.
(htt4)
❖ COMPETITION ANALYSIS
25
• Find our potential competitors: which we did by seeing which websites are
targeting our keywords.
We googled our most prominent keyword and top 3 to 5 Search Results were our
competitors. Some of our organic competitors are upgradabroad and leapscholars and
inorganic competitors are shown below.
26
• Hunting down keywords that our competitor uses but we don’t:
We did this by similar process above but this time we focused on the keywords we were
not using, and those keywords should be the one which are bringing traffic with low
competition and high search volume.
• Implementing those keywords on our website which we hunted down from our
competitors to gain more traffic and improve our digital presence.
❖ CONTENT CREATION :
Our next task was content creation for a Blog and Social media
• First step was to find topics that are in trend and users are also searching it a lot. For
that we used online tool i.e. answerthepublic.com.
(htt)
27
• After getting right topic for content making we start content making, which include
brainstorming for magnetic title, surprising subheadings, informative and engaging body
with appealing graphics.
• Content which we created were ensured that they were having right keywords.
(htt1)
• Placing keywords strategically all around the webpage (title, tags, metatags,
description etc) was also ensured by us
❖ LINK BUILDING
One fascinating task which I did to build more backlink was Broken Link Technique. In
this technique:
28
• We had to find out sites or page where we want to put backlink (relevant to our
industry).
• We used tools like checkmylinks extension to scan that site or page for broken link.
(htt2)
• If there is any broken link, we let that person (who run that site) know about it.
• If there is any relevant content on our website or blog which can replace broken link
then we suggest them our link.
• A good mail was enough to make them realise that we helped them and in return
they put our link and removed that broken link.
29
❖ Backlink audit was also done through help of tools like SEMrush,
seositecheckup.com
(htt3)
❖ Poster making for email and social media was also included as it gave us
knowledge about how our target audience think, how to use colours, shapes
according to content.
30
❖ SEO CHECKLIST
• Keyword Research: Pages targets one themed keyword, checking volume and
competition, Checking keyword intent.
• Keyword Placement: Page title Main heading, title tag, meta description, first 150
words of page, subheadings, image file names, image alt text.

subheadings, proper images, up to 2000 words.

In the end, I was assigned task to educate and share my knowledge to new interns
via Sessions which include:

PROJECT LEARNING OUTCOMES
33
CONCLUSION
• Digital Marketing is a booming industry which, if done in the right way can improve
your presence and sales drastically. We not only have to be tech savvy and proficient
learner of marketing but also have to be updated with every trend as it is important to
know about our consumer/user.
• We can better address customer needs by using keywords to gain insight into who
they are and what they want, which boosts our online visibility and encourages them to
purchase our services or products, which has a direct impact on organizational growth.
• Our every competitor is doing same thing, everyone knows about basics of digital
marketing, basics of keyword but what additional creativity we do is vital as it give us
competitive edge in this booming industry. Today’s generation is having very short
attention span and as we target them, it’s important to gain their interest and attention at
the start by being creative over various perimeters (content writing, keywords, attractive
adds, blogs, social media reels, shorts etc).
• Strategic planning from scratch to monitoring is vital for success, as without clear
strategy, we won’t be able to understand dynamics of our users/consumer’s behaviour
and competition too. Continuous awareness of what is going around the world is must as
it helps a lot in creating attention, interest and desire for our service.
• Digital presence is must for any organization as no matter how good your service is,
if there is not digital presence then your visibility and reach can be limited which can
affect your sales drastically. So, building amazing digital presence gives our organization
an opportunity to create awareness and boost engagement with our audience.
• In corporate world, team work is very important but being a good leader is more
important as a good leader is able to motivate team to perform well, creates streamline
strategy that run campaign smoothly from beginning to end, communicates effectively
and efficiently, overall creates learning environment in which every member performs
efficiently.
34
SUGGESTIONS
Currently, organization is doing pretty well but there is always a place for improvement
and few areas of improvement which I suggest can be looked upon are:
35
LIMITATIONS & CHALLENGES
• Biggest limitation was our SIP duration. 6 to 8 weeks were not enough to learn,
implement, be productive and experience vital things for this project.
• Work from home was another limitation as it restricted us from experiencing and
working in real corporate environment which would improve our efficiency via
communication, presence and in plethora of ways.
• Creating an engaging content was challenging as our target audience was mostly
youth with short attention span making it hard for us to grab their attention.
• Growing organically was very challenging, as it is a slow process which need
patience, moreover organic growth is vulnerable to competition.
