No, not Copyrighting.
This non-legal term refers to any text found in a brands representation via Social Media Content, Website, Product Descriptions or Advertisements. Copy is typically written with an objective in mind, such as making a sale, informing or entertaining.

A Key Performance Indicator can be “Number of Sales”, “Revenue”, “Number of Follows”, etc. Whenever you set a new goal for your business, a set of KPI’s should be established along with the goal to track your progress.
Mobile Optimization is the practice of optimizing your website’s navigation, content, performance and design for mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets and it’s a necessity in today’s online world.
Nearly every consumer has a mobile device and nearly every device owner uses it to search, shop or browse online. In fact, mobile web usage has now surpassed desktop computer web usage.
Mobile Optimization is important because your website has historically been built for computer screens, and mobile devices have a different aspect ratio which creates limitations, and they generally operate on limited data plans and weaker hardware so heavier websites may need to be slimmed down to retain a great user experience.
Retargeting is arguably the most important benefit of Digital Advertising.
Retargeting is a method of targeting a specific audience who have previously engaged with your website or digital ad. You can use Retargeting as a friendly reminder or to promote sales on products customers have already shown interest in, or backed out of buying.
ChatGPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI, leveraging the power of GPT-3.5 architecture. In simpler terms, ChatGPT is a web application chat bot powered by Artificial Intelligence.
Trained on an extensive corpus of diverse data, it has gained an impressive ability to generate human-like responses to a wide range of queries and prompts. Its capacity to understand context, convey information, and engage in meaningful conversations makes it a versatile and valuable asset for business owners.
For the best example and answer to the question “What is ChatGPT?”, we asked ChatGPT to write a blog post that demonstrates its power, especially related to digital marketing and business.
PPC is short for “Pay Per Click” advertising. A PPC ad is an online advertisement that only costs you money when a user clicks, reads or views your ad. PPC is often used to describe Google Search Ads, Display Ads, or Social Media Ads such as Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn Ads.
SEM is like a combination of SEO and PPC. SEM stands for Search Engine Marketing and refers to the form of marketing that gets your website in the top search results, typically through Paid Advertising, Content or SEO.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and typically refers to the act of getting your website displayed organically in the top Google Search results for whatever it is you offer consumers.
There are two forms of SEO, On-Page and Off-Page and you’ll need to understand both to please Google and be the first result when somebody searches “where’s the best place to buy _______?” or, “who makes the best _______?”
SMM stands for Social Media Marketing and can refer to Paid Advertising on Social Media platforms or a company’s marketing effort via Social Media. PPC, Content, and Influencers can all make up a Social Media Marketing campaign.
UGC stands for “User Generated Content” and refers to any content a brand shares that has been created and submitted by a user or customer. UGC is generally highly effective because it is genuine content that other customers enjoy because it’s authentic and relatable.
UI stands for “User Interface” and is a common term in web design and development describing the way a website or app looks and is presented.
Similarly, UX stands for “User Experience” and is often used to describe how the user will navigate a website or app.
CX, much like UX, stands for “Customer Experience” and describes the experience a customer has with your company, brand, social media, website, product or services.
AI, which stands for Artificial Intelligence, is a type of computer program that can think and learn a bit like humans do. It’s like having a smart brain inside a computer. This computer brain can do different tasks and solve problems without someone telling it exactly what to do at every step.
Imagine you have a pet that learns new tricks by watching and practicing. AI works kind of like that but with information and data instead of tricks. It learns from lots of examples and experiences, and the more it learns, the better it gets at doing its job.
So what is AI? Well, we used ChatGPT (AI) to write the answer above!
