301 Redirect
301 redirect refers to a code sent by a website’s hosting server to a browser. In practice, it means you’ll get redirected to a new page when you input the old URL.
For website administrators, 301 redirects shouldn’t be used in excess, but can be a good way to deliver relevant pages to users when the original page has been removed or the content has been merged into another page.
From an SEO perspective, the old page’s ranking will transfer to the new page.

Lead
In marketing, a lead is a prospective customer. Not all leads are equally promising, and not all engagement types are the same that signify a potential lead. Any engagement with your company or website, though, indicates a potential lead.

Metadata
Metadata is data that applies to other data. This can seem confusing to some, so for an example, you may take a picture and save it digitally on your computer. That image’s metadata could include information such as when and where the picture was taken. In this way, the file contains both the image itself and additional descriptive data. Other metadata can include creator information and licensing or legal rights related to a file’s use.
