In digital marketing, a benchmark is a specific metric that you compare results to. A benchmark can relate to impressions, clicks, open rate, sales, or many other metrics. An established threshold is then used to determine success or failure of a particular campaign or piece of content. Benchmarks for an email campaign, for example, might be 20% open rate, 2% click through rate, and 0.5% sales rate on a product that the email is highlighting. 

The success or failure of the campaign would be measured against these numbers. Ideally, you’re developing benchmarks based on past campaign results in order to create personalized benchmarks for your business that allow you to compare across marketing channels.

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.

Duplicate Content is much like it says, text or elements on the internet that are duplicated elsewhere. Duplicate content within your own website should be monitored and adjusted as needed. If the content is duplicated elsewhere on the internet, search engines will attempt to determine which is the original source, though it’s often best to try to avoid this issue when possible.
