Ever felt like marketers are speaking a different language? Understanding key terms can demystify the world of marketing and help you stay ahead.
Terms to Know:
- Retargeting:
Retargeting shows ads to people who’ve interacted with your brand but didn’t convert (e.g., visited your website but didn’t purchase). Tools like Google Ads or Meta Ads Manager make this easy.
- Pixel:
A pixel is a snippet of code added to your website that tracks visitor behavior for ad optimization. For example, Facebook’s Pixel helps you retarget and analyze ad performance.
- Bounce Rate:
The percentage of visitors who leave your website after viewing only one page. High bounce rates often indicate poor user experience or irrelevant content.
- CTR (Click-Through Rate):
This metric measures how often people click on your ad compared to how often they see it. A higher CTR means your content resonates.
- Conversion Rate:
The percentage of users who take a desired action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter. Optimizing your landing pages can boost this rate.
