Introduction: The Google Online Marketing Challenge is a global competition providing students with the opportunity to learn about online marketing by using Google AdWords. Our first GOMC Hangout on Air provided general information about the Challenge, and we have decided to create a Learning Series to help students successfully compete in all aspects of the Competition!

Has your team created a Google+ Business Page for your partnering company to compete for the Social Media Award? Traditionally, the Google Online Marketing Challenge has provided students the opportunity to partner with an organization to use AdWords for online marketing. For the 2012 Challenge, we introduced a new award, the Social Media Award, to enable students to incorporate social as another means for effective online advertising by creating Google+ Business Pages for their partnering businesses. We understand that some student teams may not be too familiar with Google+, so we will be covering what it is and how it works in our first GOMC Learning Series Hangout on Air!

If you have questions you’d like answered, we encourage you to submit them via Google+ or Twitter using the hashtag #GOMCseries or by completing the form here. We’ll collect a list of questions and answer them live during the Hangout on Air next week!
