    When we talk about social networks, the traffic manager will monitor the movement of your audience on platforms such as: Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, Twitter and others. 

    With regard to websites, this professional seeks to develop advertising actions in order to increase access to a particular page or site. That is, the increase in visits to a virtual storefront of a particular business. 

    There are two types, paid traffic and organic traffic. The difference between them, as the name suggests, is in developing actions that generate results with the investment of money or for free.
