Registration for the Digital Marketing Mini Courses is open now at: https://localiq.co.uk/campaigns/free-digital-marketing-mini-courseLOCALiQ’s State of Digital Marketing Report found that over a third of UK businesses need more training in SEO, PPC, and content marketing, while 38% want to learn how to optimise for AI-generated search results. With 52% citing budget as a key barrier to digital marketing success, LOCALiQ hopes the new courses will remove cost as an obstacle to learning.
