Digital Marketing interview questions, and how to answer them

Digital marketing interviews check your channel skills and whether you can connect spend to results with numbers.

Digital Marketing interview questions

  1. How would you launch a campaign with a ₹50,000 budget?

    What they’re testing: Planning and prioritisation.

    How to answer: Define the goal and audience, pick one or two channels, split budget into test and scale phases, set KPIs and review weekly.

  2. What is the difference between CTR and conversion rate?

    What they’re testing: Metric basics.

    How to answer: CTR is clicks divided by impressions; conversion rate is conversions divided by clicks or visits.

  3. Our organic traffic dropped. What would you check?

    What they’re testing: SEO troubleshooting.

    How to answer: Algorithm updates, indexing and technical errors in Search Console, lost rankings or backlinks, and seasonality.

  4. How do you calculate ROAS?

    What they’re testing: Commercial thinking.

    How to answer: Revenue from ads divided by ad spend. A ROAS of 4 means ₹4 back for each ₹1 spent; check it against margins.

  5. Tell me about a campaign that failed.

    What they’re testing: Learning from data.

    How to answer: Say what you tested, what the numbers showed and what you changed next.
