Keyword
Keyword is a bit of a misnomer, because it can refer to a word or entire phrase that appears in web searches.
However, in either case, it refers to a word or phrase representing a specific search term and idea. Websites will build strategies to rank for particular keywords that are closely related to their products or services, in order to generate more traffic and leads.

Audience Segmentation (i.e. Customer Segmentation)
Audience Segmentation is the process of breaking a large audience into smaller chunks, or segments. The purpose for this is to match products, services and messages with the audience that will be most receptive to it.
18-year-old men and 70-year-old women may not want the same services you offer, for example, but if they’re both in your customer base, you’d want to separate them so that you can send them information that will be relevant to them.
Some software tools and services will even boast individual segmentation levels, with audiences of one. This refers to content that is delivered to users based on their past web behavior, so that what one person sees is unique to them.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a term most often used in product development in business. It refers to the least a particular product needs to do in order to be usable by its intended user.
The purpose of the MVP is to create a usable product and get feedback on it immediately, before additional features are added. This can reduce development time by identifying flaws in a product early in the development process.
This can also relate to web-based applications, which often have non-core features that are not needed for the product to work well for a majority of its users.

Wireframe
A Wireframe is a visual outline of a web page or web element. In a design sense, it’s intended to provide a sketch of the eventual live design. It can be easier and quicker to make design adjustments at this stage, so that you avoid costly and lengthy adjustments to more complicated web elements later in the design process.
