This included an in-depth review of the credit union’s Search Engine Optimization (SEO) performance, Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Google AdWords activity, and Social Media Marketing (SMM) across platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
The audit revealed several opportunities for improvement, particularly in the areas of SEO, SEM, and social media engagement.
Following the audit, Kola Digital presented a series of recommendations to Life Credit Union, aimed at enhancing its online marketing strategy in the credit union website .
Kola Digital’s tailor-made approach to optimizing Life Credit Union’s digital marketing strategy was met with enthusiasm, and the recommendations were subsequently implemented over a 12-week period.

In addition to the Life Credit Union Loan Calculator, Kola Digital also spearheaded the implementation of various other initiatives, including the introduction of customer behavioral tracking software on the credit union website.
