Keyword Difficulty

Keyword difficulty is an SEO metric that predicts the effort required to rank on the first page of search engine results for a specific keyword. This metric is crucial for anyone involved in SEO as it influences the strategic direction of content plans and marketing campaigns—the higher the keyword "difficulty," the more challenging it is to rank for that keyword.

Keyword Ranking

Keyword ranking refers to the position of a website or webpage in the search engine results pages (SERPs) for a specific keyword or search term. It measures how well a website or webpage ranks compared to its competitors when someone searches for a particular keyword. When a website ranks higher in the search results, it's more likely to be seen by users. This can lead to increased organic traffic and visibility. That’s why businesses should pay attention to their keyword rank and strive to improve them.

Leads

A Lead is an individual who has shown an interest in your product or service. Leads do not have to be qualified, meaning there is no consideration yet of need, timeline, budget, or decision-making ability. The acquisition of Leads is generally categorized as either being inbound (considered warm) or outbound (considered cold).

MQL to SQL Conversion Rate

MQL (Marketing Qualified Lead) to SQL (Sales Qualified Lead) conversion rate is the percentage of MQLs that are converted to an SQL. An MQL is a lead that marketing believes meets the criteria of a qualified prospect, and an SQL is a lead that sales has independently qualified and believes meets the criteria of a qualified prospect.

Marketing Qualified Leads

A Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) represents a prospect who has demonstrated sufficient engagement and intent to warrant sales attention, based on criteria established collaboratively between marketing and sales teams. Unlike raw leads or contacts, MQLs have crossed specific behavioural or demographic thresholds that indicate genuine interest in your solution. This metric serves as marketing's primary deliverable to sales and forms the backbone of most demand generation strategies, with teams typically setting targets for both MQL volume and quality measures such as MQL-to-SQL conversion rates.
