A lead is a potential customer who has shown interest in a product or service, often by submitting contact details via a form, email, or call.

A landing page is a standalone web page designed to capture leads or drive conversions. It often contains a form, call-to-action (CTA), and targeted content.

A/B testing (split testing) is the process of comparing two versions of a webpage, ad, or email to determine which performs better.

Organic traffic refers to website visitors who arrive through unpaid search engine results (SEO) rather than paid ads.

  • Organic results appear naturally based on relevance and SEO efforts.
  • Paid results appear as advertisements at the top of search results (e.g., Google Ads).

Keywords are words or phrases users type into search engines. Optimizing content with relevant keywords helps improve rankings.

Long-tail keywords are longer, more specific search phrases (e.g., "best running shoes for flat feet") that have lower competition and higher conversion rates.

Keyword stuffing is the practice of overloading a webpage with keywords in an unnatural way, which can result in Google penalties.

  • Meta Title: The title of a webpage that appears in search results.
  • Meta Description: A short summary of the page content displayed under the title in search results.

  • Nofollow links do not pass SEO value but still drive traffic

DA is a metric (0-100) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. Higher DA indicates better ranking potential.

PageSpeed refers to how fast a webpage loads. Google prioritizes fast-loading websites, and slow pages lead to higher bounce rates and lower rankings.

Mobile-first indexing means Google primarily uses the mobile version of a website for indexing and ranking, as most users browse on mobile devices.

Structured data (Schema Markup) is a type of code added to a webpage to help search engines understand the content better, enabling rich snippets (e.g., star ratings, FAQs).

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) – Measures page loading speed.
  • First Input Delay (FID) – Measures interactivity.
  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) – Measures visual stability.

Local SEO focuses on optimizing a website to appear in location-based searches, such as "restaurants near me." Google My Business is an essential tool for this.

A featured snippet is a highlighted answer box that appears at the top of search results, providing direct answers to user queries.

SEO is a long-term strategy. It typically takes 3-6 months to see significant improvements, depending on competition and website optimization.

The cost depends on factors like keyword competitiveness, industry, and ad quality, typically ranging from a few cents to several dollars per click.

Quality Score is a Google Ads metric that measures the relevance of keywords, ad copy, and landing pages to determine ad rankings and cost-per-click.

It depends on your audience. B2B companies may prefer LinkedIn, while B2C brands may find Instagram and Facebook more effective.

 

Posting frequency varies by platform, but a general guideline is 3-5 times per week for Facebook and Instagram, daily for Twitter, and 2-3 times per week for LinkedIn.

High-quality content helps improve search rankings by providing valuable information, attracting backlinks, and increasing user engagement.

Metrics like website traffic, engagement (shares, likes, comments), and conversions (leads or sales) indicate content marketing success.
