Don’t stuff too many keywords into one page – if a topic is
important enough, it should have its own dedicated page
When hyperlinking between pages on your site, use
keywords in anchor text
On-Page Optimization
On-Site Optimization Off-Site Optimization Helpful SEO Tools
Text-based navigation is critical for search engines
to crawl your site
Use HTML XML sitemaps to ensure your content
is easily discoverable
If a URL needs to change, use a 301 redirect
Search engines do not understand javascript, rich
media, images and video content well, but methods
exist to optimize each for search
Avoid duplicate content on your site
Ensure your site is mobile-friendly
Search engines view hyperlinks pointing to your
URLs from other trusted and relevant sites as
strong votes of authority
Other off-site signals like social shares and
consistent mentions of your business name,
address and phone number are also key
Google only values links that are obtained
“naturally” – schemes such as paying other
sites to link to yours can get you penalized in
search results
Creating useful, shareable content and engaging
online influencers is the best way to build
quality links

Term Definition
Actions The number of actions taken on your ad, Page, app or event after someone viewed your ad, even if they didn’t click on it. Actions include
Page likes, app installs, conversions, event responses and more. For example, 2 Page likes and 2 comments would be counted as 4
actions.
Activity The total number of times your conversion- tracking pixel fired each day in the last 7 days. If the pixel is linked to your Facebook ads, you
can view conversions from those ads in the Reports section of Ads Manager.
Ad Auction For each ad impression, our ad auction system selects the best ads to run based on the ads’ maximum bids and ad performance. All ads
on Facebook compete against each other in this process, and the ads that our system determines are most likely to be successful will win
the auction.
If you’d like to make your ad more competitive in the auction, you may want to raise your bid. We’ll only charge you the bid necessary to
win the auction. The bid that wins may be lower than the maximum bid you’ve set for your ads, so we recommend you enter your true
maximum bid. This will increase the likelihood that you don’t miss out on clicks or impressions that you otherwise could’ve received. We
also recommend you refine your targeting to make sure you’re reaching a relevant audience that’s more likely to engage with your ads.
Attribution Window Refers to the maximum length of time between click and conversion that you use to calculate return on ad spend.
Bid You can use automatic or manual bidding depending on how you want to pay for your ad.
- Using automatic bidding will set your bid so that it’s optimized to help you reach your objective. (ex: “Get the most website conversions
at the best price” or “Get the most installs at the best price”). You’ll see this under Pricing when you create an ad.
- Using manual bidding (ex: “Set the amount a conversion/app install etc. is worth to you”) will let you pick a target maximum bid.
If you use manual bidding, note that for some optimization goals (ex: Page likes, post engagement, website conversions, daily
unique reach), we deliver ad impressions to people with the goal of generating your desired outcome at or below the bid you specify.
Occasionally, as our system tries to predict who in your target audience will be most likely to take your desired action, your average cost
per outcome may exceed your bid. In general, your average costs should be equal to or lower than your bid. If you’re optimizing for clicks
(CPC) or impressions (CPM), you’ll be charged no more than the bid you specify.
Bounce Rate The percentage of visitors to a particular website who navigate away from the site after viewing only one page
Conversion Tracking Pixel Conversions are customer-completed actions, like purchases or adding to a cart on a website. A conversion pixel is a piece of JavaScript
code that places a blank 1x1 pixel image on your website. When someone visits a page of your website where you have installed a
conversion pixel, the pixel will ping Facebook and record their visit and information such as whether they saw any of your ads. Conversion
pixels are used to to track if a person has landed or converted on a specific web page (ex: adding a product to a cart or clicking a button to
buy a product).
ConvR (CVR) Conversion Rate, calculated as conversions/clicks
Glossary

CPA Cost per action: A metric that measures how much your business pays in order to attain a conversion; calculated as spend/actions
CPC Cost per click, calculated as spend/clicks
CPC (All) = Cost per click for all clicks on your ad. The amount you’re charged each time someone interacts with your ad. Your total
charges are based on the amount you spent on the ad divided by all clicks the ad received.
CPC (Link) Cost per click to link. The amount you are charged each time someone clicks on the link in your ad that directs people off
Facebook. Your total charges are based on the amount you spent on the ad divided by the clicks to link the ad received.
CPConv= Cost Per Conversion, calculated as spend/conversions
CPE Cost per engagement, calculated as spend/conversions
CPL Cost per like OR Cost per lead, calculated as spend/likes or spend/leads
CPM The average cost you’ve paid to have 1,000 impressions on your ad, calculated as Spend/(Impressions/1000) or (Spend*1000)/Impressions
CTR Click-through rate, calculated as clicks/impressions
- CTR (All): The total number of clicks you received (ex: offsite clicks, likes, event responses) divided by the number of impressions.
- Unique CTR: Unique click-through rate for all clicks. The number of people who clicked anywhere in your ad, divided by the number of
people you reached. Ex: if you received 20 unique clicks and your ad was shown to 1,000 unique people, your unique click-through rate
would be 2%.
Custom Audience A Custom Audience is an ad targeting option that lets advertisers find their existing audiences among people who are on Facebook.
Engagements Engagement quantifies how much user interaction there is with your campaign.
- Promoted Accounts: Instead of engagement, we measure follow rate, or the number of follows on a Promoted Account compared to
number of impressions. Clicks will still factor into the resonance score but you’re only charged when a user actually follows you. See
Follow Rate or CPF.
- Promoted Tweets: The number of clicks, Retweets, likes, follows and replies on a Promoted Tweet.
- Promoted Trends: The number of clicks, Retweets, likes, follows and replies on the Promoted Tweets connected to the Promoted Trend.
Engagement Rate Engagement Rate, calculated as engagements/impressions
Frequency Frequency is the average number of times your ad was shown to each person. You may see this number both at the ad and ad set level of
a campaign.
Impressions The number of times your ad is served, or shown in a search results page. We only count impressions on promoted content, so any
impressions generated organically are not counted.
- On Mobile this is counted as the first time the ad was viewed
- On Desktop and Right-Hand Side, it is counted as how many times it was loaded on the screen
- Promoted Accounts: The number of users who see a Promoted Account.
- Promoted Tweets: The number of users who see a Promoted Tweet either in their Home timeline or search results.
- Promoted Trends: The number of users who view the Promoted Trend.

Lookalike Audiences This is a type of audience that’s created by Facebook to help advertisers reach people who are similar to an audience that they care about.
Multi-channel Attribution Weighted model that gives the most credit to clicks closest to conversion or to the first and last touch points and less to the touch points
in the middle of the funnel.
Page Engagement The number of actions related to the Page and your Page’s posts as a result of your ad.
Page Mentions The number of mentions of your Page as a result of your ad.
Post Engagements The number of actions (ex: likes, comments, shares, photo views, link clicks, video views) related to your Page’s posts as a result of your
ad.
Relevance Twitter recommends your Promoted Tweets and Promoted Account to the most relevant users by combining the following two sets of
information:
1. Implicit information about your account and followers - Twitter looks at your followers and then looks for similar accounts that you
share a number of followers with, including competitors and accounts more generally associated with topics relevant to your brand
2. Explicit information about your target’s interests - Twitter finds experts on the interest groups you select within your campaign setup
tool
Relevance Score: A scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) based on the positive and negative feedback your ad receives. Your ad needs to be
seen by at least 500 people to receive a relevance score.
Resonance Measures user interaction with Tweets to help determine which ones are shown and which ones are not. Conceptually, it’s a metric that
reflects the combination of all parts of a company’s interaction with its customers on Twitter.
Source Audience A source audience is the audience a Lookalike Audience is based on.
Targeted Audience Targeted audience is the number of people your targeting can reach. You’ll see an estimate of this, like the estimate you see while
creating an ad.
Use the Audience graph to see the difference between how many people you’re actually reaching and how many people you could be
reaching. Increase your bids and budget to reach more of your targeted audience.
Unpublished Page Post or
“Dark Post”
An unpublished Page post is a Page post created in Power Editor that will appear in News Feed but not on your Page. It allows you to
create an ad for that post without it appearing on your Page’s Timeline.
User Fatigue Limits the number of times a user will see the same component of a promoted campaign. We consider user fatigue in order to prevent a
disruptive experience.
