Customer Journey
A Customer Journey is the path a customer takes through various engagements with a company and its content and services. This is often visualized as a map or other infographic for marketers to be able to see the stages of engagement of a company’s customers. This allows marketers to create ads and content for specific stages in this journey.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, are metrics used to measure the success or failure of a marketing campaign. Ideally, your KPIs are established before the launch of a campaign, so that you are tracking data both before and after the campaign’s launch.
The exact KPIs used in a campaign will vary depending on the goals of the campaign and the marketing channels used.

Nofollow
A backlink that carries the “nofollow” HTML tag. This indicates to search engines that should not count as a vote of quality for that site.
Some sites, particularly those with user-generated content, will mark all of their backlinks as nofollow, to avoid abuse of their content systems to generate backlink SEO value for third-party websites.

Google Search Console
Google Search Console (GSC) is an analytical tool provided by Google that records search data related to a linked website. As opposed to Google Analytics, which largely analyzes traffic once it’s on your site, GSC provides data on search results that provide impressions and click throughs to your site.
Search Console is also a tool that allows you to monitor pages on your site that have been indexed in Google’s system, and request indexing of individual pages. This can also be done on a sitewide level by submitting a sitemap to Google through the GSC system. The tool also provides information on possible errors or warnings related to site usability.
