Meta descriptions are read by search engines and often displayed for users. For example, the brief description for web pages you see in Google results is often pulled directly from the page’s meta description.

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.

Hick’s Law
Hick’s Law is a psychological principle that, in a marketing and web design context, relates to the number of options presented to a user. The more options a user is given, the longer it will take them to make a decision. Therefore, best practices in web design, for instance, include minimizing clutter and non-essential options from major pages, in order to focus user attention on those items you consider most important.
