The first step of our complete strategy would be to focus on SEO. The next step is to implement Google ads campaigns in Serbia and abroad. Social Media strategy would imply efficient audience targeting – increasing in student’s inquiry and decreasing in inquiries from social groups that don’t fulfill the terms of the Work and Travel GROUP program.

Our approach to SEO is always efficient – exploring and defining keywords. We carried out the complete onsite analysis, adjusted all parameters, recognized all the offsite possibilities, and were ready for action!
