Digital Marketing Glossary

Plain-English definitions for the terms that matter most when growing your local business online — no jargon, no fluff. Just the vocabulary you need to make smart marketing decisions.

Local SEO
The process of optimizing your online presence so your business appears prominently in local search results — especially Google Maps and the Map Pack — when potential customers search for your services in your area.
Google Business Profile (GBP)
Your free business listing on Google. When properly optimized, it controls what customers see in the Map Pack, Google Maps, and Knowledge Panels — including your phone number, hours, reviews, and photos.
Map Pack
The block of 3 local business listings that appear at the top of Google search results for location-based queries. Also called the 'Local 3-Pack.' These listings typically get the highest click-through rates for local searches.
AI Search Optimization (AEO/GEO)
The practice of structuring your website content and authority signals so that AI-powered search engines and chatbots (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) recommend your business when users ask relevant questions.
PPC (Pay-Per-Click)
A paid advertising model where you pay each time a user clicks on your ad. Google Ads is the most common PPC platform for local businesses, placing your ads at the top of search results immediately.
NAP Consistency
Name, Address, Phone number consistency across all online directories and listings. Inconsistent NAP data confuses search engines and can hurt your local rankings. Every listing should match your primary GBP exactly.
Citation
Any online mention of your business's NAP (Name, Address, Phone). Citations on directories like Yelp, Angi, and BBB help Google verify your business's legitimacy and improve your local search rankings.
Conversion Rate
The percentage of website visitors or ad clicks that take a desired action — such as calling your business, filling out a contact form, or booking an appointment. Higher conversion rates mean more leads from the same traffic.
