Digital marketing and e-commerce are interconnected, and digital marketers and e-commerce specialists have related (and sometimes overlapping) responsibilities. While digital marketing works to connect brands with people, e-commerce helps brands sell products to people. Digital marketers use online tools to reach customers and e-commerce specialists work to grow online sales. Digital marketers and e-commerce specialists both use tools and strategies that help businesses grow.

The Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Certificate was designed and built by subject-matter experts and senior practitioners at Google. This certificate has been created to equip learners with theoretical and practical knowledge and real-life problem-solving skills to be successful in an entry-level job.
