Essential Growth and Performance Questions

Essential concepts for acquiring and retaining customers.

1. What is Brand Equity? Why it's here: The ultimate long-term asset. In a world of infinite choice, a strong brand is the only defense against commoditization. It frames marketing as an investment, not just an expense.

2. What is ROAS (Return On Ad Spend)? Why it's here: The holy grail of performance marketing. Every marketer lives and dies by this number. It connects marketing efforts directly to the profitability goals of the "Business" section.

3. Measurement vs. Attribution Why it's here: With privacy changes (cookies going away) and complex customer journeys, knowing which ad actually caused the sale is the #1 challenge for modern marketers.

4. What is a GTM (Go-To-Market) Strategy? Why it's here: The master plan. It’s a critical search term for startups and established brands launching new product lines.

5. Real-Time Bidding (RTB) Why it's here: This demystifies the "black box" of how ads are actually bought and sold in milliseconds. It positions you as a technical expert in the ad ecosystem.

6. What is a User Persona? Why it's here: The starting point of all good marketing. It reminds users that behind every "click" and "conversion" is a human being.

7. What Is a Supply-Side Platform (SSP)? A Supply-Side Platform (SSP) is a digital advertising technology platform that enables online publishers to manage, sell, and optimize their available ad inventory in an automated and efficient manner.

8. Amazon and Google Shopping. Each platform offers distinct advantages and challenges, and choosing between them is more than a mere preference—it's a strategic decision for both consumers and sellers.

9. How to Test Your Website Speed in Google? Testing your website's speed is a critical aspect of website management and can be efficiently conducted using Google's tools.

10. What is the Difference Between Ad Exchange and Ad Network? Two crucial components that facilitate the buying and selling of ad inventory.
