Schema Markup

A backlink is linked text on a website that sends the user to another website. You’ll often see sources cited in articles via backlinks to another source.

Backlinks are extremely important for website authority, because you are aligning yourself with related websites and sources within your industry. It’s just as important to work toward obtaining links from other sites to yours, which signals to search engines that your website is useful and trustworthy. Many strategies exist for maximizing a site’s backlink profile.

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.

In the context of web design, the Hero area (sometimes used as “Hero Image” as well) refers to the primary spread on a webpage, usually the site’s homepage, at or near the top of the screen and generally just below the navigation menu.

Your hero area should be the most visually prominent area of the page, and also have the most immediate, actionable information for the user to your site.
