All concepts
Social & Performance Advertising
- Ad Frequency
Impressions divided by reach — how many times the average person in your audience saw the same ad; the closest thing to an early-warning signal for creative fatigue.
- Conversions API (CAPI)
The connection that sends conversion events to Meta directly from your server instead of the browser pixel, recovering the signal lost to cookie restrictions and ad blockers.
- CPA (Cost per Acquisition)
The ad-side cost of one conversion — usually a sale (spend ÷ conversions); ROAS read from the other direction, and the cornerstone of budget planning.
- Creative Fatigue
The drop in engagement and performance that follows an audience seeing the same creative too many times; not the ad getting worse, but the audience learning it.
- Funnel (Marketing Funnel)
The layered model of the customer journey from first discovery to purchase (and repurchase); the framework that decides which stage your ad budget and messages speak to.
- Meta Pixel
The measurement code on your site that reports which pages visitors browse, what they add to cart and what they buy back to Meta's ad system — the data source ad optimization runs on.
- Retargeting
The strategy of showing ads to people who already touched your brand — browsed your site, added to cart, watched your video; the engine of the lower funnel.
- ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
The ratio showing how much revenue every unit of ad spend produces (revenue ÷ ad spend) — performance marketing's most discussed, and most misread, metric.
- TikTok Pixel
The measurement code you place on your site to report visitor behaviour — page views, add-to-carts, purchases — back to TikTok.
Content & Creative Production
- AI Video Production
The practice of producing ad videos and variations with generative AI tools; a production layer that multiplies creative testing volume without replacing brand authenticity.
- Call to Action (CTA)
The prompt that tells a viewer or visitor exactly what to do next — "shop now", "find your shade", "save this"; the bridge between the ad and the conversion.
- Creative Testing
The practice of racing ad creatives — videos, visuals, copy — against each other in controlled experiments and picking winners with data rather than taste; the engine of sustainable ad performance.
- Hook (Video Opening)
The opening seconds of a video ad that stop the viewer from scrolling past; the single creative element that can multiply — or zero out — the performance of the same video.
- UGC (User-Generated Content)
Content shot as if a real user is sharing their experience; the creative format that builds trust by not looking like an ad in the feed, instead of polished studio aesthetics.
Website & Shopify Store Setup
- API Token
An access key issued to a tool rather than a person, scoped in advance to specific actions and resources, and revocable on its own.
- Cloudflare
The infrastructure provider that sits between your domain and your visitors, bundling DNS, CDN, caching, SSL and bot protection into a single dashboard.
- Cloudflare Member Roles
The system for inviting people into a Cloudflare account with permissions limited to the job they do; roles are defined across three scopes — account, domain and resource.
- Cloudflare Partnership
The Tenant structure that lets parties holding a Cloudflare partner agreement provision and manage Cloudflare accounts on behalf of their customers.
- Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
The systematic practice of converting a larger share of the visitors you already have into customers; the way to grow sales without growing the ad budget.
- Core Web Vitals
The three metrics Google uses to measure a page's experience — loading (LCP), responsiveness (INP) and visual stability (CLS); both a search signal and a quiet determinant of conversion.
- DNS (Domain Name System)
The system that translates domain names into server addresses; the routing layer deciding which service receives your website traffic, your email and your verification records.
- Shopify
The subscription platform for building and running your own e-commerce store without writing code; the most common foundation for performance marketing thanks to built-in speed, security and ad integrations.
- The Web (World Wide Web)
The network of documents and applications reachable through domain names and joined by links, running on top of the internet; the one digital ground a brand owns rather than rents.
SEO & GEO — AI Visibility
- AI Agents
A system where a language model plans and carries out a multi-step goal by using tools; it does not just produce text — it searches, reads pages and takes actions.
- AI Crawlers
The bots AI companies run to read the web for training data and live answers; GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are the best-known examples.
- GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
The discipline of making sure a brand is mentioned accurately, currently and favorably inside answers generated by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI summaries and other generative engines.
- Google Search Console
Google's free tool showing a property owner how their content performs in search; the primary source for query, click, impression and indexing data.
- LLM (Large Language Model)
An AI model trained on very large volumes of text that generates language by predicting what comes next; the technology behind products like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
- RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
Having a language model write its answer from documents retrieved at question time rather than from memory alone; the method behind the citations you see in AI answers.
- Search Engine
A system that crawls the web, indexes what it finds and ranks the best matches for a query; the ground on which a brand is found at the moment of intent.
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
The technical and content work that makes a site crawlable, understandable and highly ranked in search engines — and the foundation AI visibility is built on.
- SLM (Small Language Model)
A language model running on far fewer parameters than an LLM, focused on a narrow set of tasks and cheap enough to run on a single device.
- Structured Data (Schema.org)
Markup written in the schema.org vocabulary that tells machines explicitly what a page contains, turning product, article, FAQ and brand facts from interpretable prose into stated data.
