Inbound Marketing

An approach to web-based marketing that emphasizes attracting people to your site, and its products and services, through informational content that is searched and shared.

This is in juxtaposition to paid marketing, which pays money to present ads and similar placements in order to draw people to your site. In an inbound marketing model, organic search traffic is the primary driver of traffic to many key pages.

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.

Brand Awareness

Brand awareness is the measurement of how well-known your brand and company is within a given market. Brand awareness can be broken into sub-categories based on age, gender, geographic region and other variables.

Many marketing campaigns are designed not simply to sell products or services, but to increase the public’s awareness of the brand as a whole, which will lead to long-term word-of-mouth and sales opportunities.

Featured Snippet

The Featured Snippet is a short-form answer to a search engine query that is displayed at or near the top of the page. The search engine attempts to respond to the query and present a succinct answer within the search results themselves, before linking to the webpage that the answer came from.

Crafting web content that aims to be showcased in the featured snippet can be a valuable way of generating traffic for your website.
