To stand out from the crowd, you need a real digital marketing strategy.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But where to start?<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are so many different terms. What&#8217;s more, web vocabulary, most of which is English-speaking, changes and evolves, requiring regular adaptation. It really does feel like it&#8217;s taking up so much knowledge that it&#8217;s discouraging.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I invite you to read on. Let&#8217;s demystify the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You want to create your website or improve its performance. Your first instinct is to go to Google (to name but one) and perform a keyword search. That&#8217;s when endless hours of reading begin, because you don&#8217;t know exactly what you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, you feel like you&#8217;re reading Chinese and overwhelmed by too much information.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, the digital adventure doesn&#8217;t end with the design of a website. It goes far beyond that.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What will make people who need your products or services find you online? How do you get on the first page of a search engine?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, your site remains the central platform for your Internet activities. Whether it&#8217;s your social networks, your newsletter or your communications, everything brings visitors to your site. And the main purpose of bringing the world here is to turn your visitors into customers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, the more efficient your site is, the better it converts your visitors.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why, by knowing the basics of digital marketing, you&#8217;ll be able to know what you need to avoid the most common pitfalls and problematic situations on the web and social networks as an entrepreneur or SME.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This specific jargon can be divided into different categories:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Technical vocabulary<\/strong>: hosting, URL, DNS, cPanel&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Webmarketing vocabulary<\/strong>: SEO, <em>landing page<\/em>, <em>Call-To-Action<\/em> (CTA)&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SEO vocabulary<\/strong>: <em>keywords<\/em>, keyword, internal linking&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advertising vocabulary<\/strong>: <em>newsletter<\/em>, affiliation, ROI&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Statistical data vocabulary<\/strong>: <em>cookie<\/em>, <em>Analytics<\/em>, <em>Search Console<\/em>, <em>My Business<\/em>, bounce rate, conversion rate&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By knowing these key elements, you&#8217;ll be able to determine your needs and understand where the gaps are in your site, for example.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you know that meta-data is necessary for Google to read your site, you&#8217;d be well advised to check (or get the right person to check) that your pages have it. If you don&#8217;t, your better-informed competition will pass you by in a web search.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many advantages to knowing the key elements of digital marketing:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Know which professional(s) to contact to create your website or for any other specific request;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn how to improve your site&#8217;s performance and your search engine optimization (SEO) to stand out in search engines;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop paying fortunes without knowing if there will be a return on investment;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve your general knowledge and get to know the most popular concepts so that you can make an informed choice in the future;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand webmarketing in order to take the right action;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Know where to look for the answers you need to know if your strategies are really working;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn how to build a successful, high-performance website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your company&#8217;s financial health depends on knowing the key elements of digital marketing. Making your site on WordPress or Wix won&#8217;t have the same implications.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing this jargon is the key to defining your needs specifically so you can make an informed decision about your site platform and\/or programmer.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arcane Evolution offers training on the basics of digital marketing.
