Online marketing glossary A–Z

When a page address or domain changes, a 301 redirect sends users and Google to the new address. Without it you lose traffic, links and rankings built up over years.

404 errors frustrate visitors and waste link value. They should be monitored in Google Search Console and fixed with redirects. A good 404 page guides the user onwards.

In an A/B test half of the visitors see version A and the other half version B – e.g. a different headline or button colour. The version that brings more enquiries or sales wins. That way decisions are based on data, not gut feeling.

Advisor tip: Tell the client: “We don’t guess what works – we test it on real visitors.”

What the user sees immediately decides whether they stay. The most important information and the CTA belong there.

A client who feels heard trusts the advisor more readily. Active listening also helps tailor your arguments more accurately.

AEO means writing clear, specific answers to customers’ questions, supported by structured data and an FAQ section. This lets Google, ChatGPT and voice assistants quote your business as the source of an answer. Every Novi website includes AEO elements as standard.

Advisor tip: Ask the business owner which questions customers ask most often – that is ready-made material for AEO.

Good after-sales service increases satisfaction, retention and referrals. Novi clients have support throughout the hosting period.

AI citations are a new form of visibility, comparable to a top position in Google. They depend on the credibility, structure and clarity of the content.

Advisor tip: Say: “The goal is for ChatGPT to link to your website.”

A website owner can decide whether to allow these bots access. For visibility in AI answers it is usually worth allowing them.

This is one of the reasons why AI-assisted content must be verified. Clear facts on a business’s website reduce the risk of wrong information about it in AI answers.

When a business has no good photos, AI images quickly provide attractive illustrations that match the industry. At Novi we combine them with editing the client’s real photos, because authenticity strengthens E-E-A-T.

More and more Google searches end with an AI answer before the user clicks any link. To appear in such a summary, a website needs a clear structure, trustworthy content and structured data. It is the new battleground for local businesses’ visibility.

Advisor tip: Show the AI Overview for the client’s industry on a tablet – it makes a big impression.

AI speeds up writing, but without verification content easily becomes generic or wrong. At Novi AI is a tool – a human is responsible for the quality, facts and local character of the content, which good E-E-A-T requires.

Alt text tells Google and blind users what a photo shows. Well-written alt text improves accessibility and helps in image search. On Novi websites every image gets a descriptive alt text.

Advisor tip: In short: “Even your photos work on your Google ranking with us.”

Search engines use anchor text to understand the topic of the target page. Instead of “click here”, write “tiling price list”. Good internal linking with descriptive anchors strengthens the SEO of the whole site.

A customer may first see an ad, later come back via Google and then call. The attribution model decides which channel gets the credit.

B2B (business-to-business) means the customer is a company, not a consumer. Novi advisors work in a B2B model – they talk to owners of small businesses. In B2B what counts is substance, trust and return on investment.

Advisor tip: Speak the language of business benefits: more enquiries, a better image, less work.

Advisors who run their own business can work with Novi on a B2B basis, invoicing their commission.

In the B2C model a business sells products or services to private individuals – e.g. a hairdresser, a bathroom showroom or a renovation company. Most Novi clients work in B2C, so their website has to convince ordinary people looking for a service nearby.

Backlinks work like recommendations: the more valuable sites link to you, the more Google trusts your website. For local businesses, links from industry directories, local portals and business partners are valuable.

Regular, automatic backups protect against the effects of failures, attacks and mistakes. With Novi, backups are included in the hosting price.

Advisor tip: Ask the client when they last backed up their website – they usually don’t know.

BANT helps you quickly judge whether a client is worth your time. With Novi the budget is low, so need and authority matter most.

Benchmarks help assess whether, for example, a website’s conversion rate is good compared with the industry.

A high bounce rate may mean the page loads too slowly, does not meet the user’s needs or looks bad on a phone. GA4 replaced it with engagement rate, but the term is still widely used.

Branding is the logo, colours, tone of voice and the impression a business leaves on customers. Consistent branding on the website, social media and business cards builds trust. A Novi website is designed in the client’s own colours and style.

Breadcrumbs, e.g. “Home / Services / Tiling”, make navigation easier and help Google understand the site structure. They are often shown in search results as well.

An address on your own domain looks professional and builds more trust than a free mailbox. With Novi, email is part of the hosting.

Advisor tip: A @gmail.com address on a business card is a great conversation starter.

CAC is compared with LTV. A healthy business acquires customers for less than their long-term value.

With caching, the server does not have to generate the page from scratch every time. It is one of the simplest ways to greatly improve speed.

A CTA leads the visitor to the next step. Without a clear call to action even a beautiful website does not generate enquiries. On Novi websites CTA buttons are visible in key places, also on mobile.

Advisor tip: Ask: “What should a customer do after landing on your website?” – and show how Novi makes it easy.

When the same content is available at several addresses, the canonical tag prevents duplication problems and concentrates SEO value on one address.

A case study is one of the strongest E-E-A-T elements, especially in B2B. It shows experience in practice.

A Content Delivery Network shortens loading times, especially for images and scripts, and makes a website more resilient to outages and attacks.

Sole proprietorships are registered in CEIDG. It is a public source of basic data about businesses.

A well-designed chatbot answers frequent questions 24/7 and hands over to a human when needed.

Users ask ChatGPT things like “recommend a good plumber in Poznań”. The assistant bases its answers partly on content available online. Businesses with a well-described, trustworthy website have a better chance of being mentioned.

Advisor tip: A strong argument: “Your customers are already asking AI – your business has to be there.”

Low churn means satisfied customers and stable revenue. In a subscription model it is one of the most important metrics.

Like ChatGPT and Gemini, Claude increasingly helps people find information and compare businesses.

An effective close is a natural question about the decision once doubts are cleared – not pressure. The client should feel it is their good choice.

Shifting buttons and text lead to accidental clicks. A stable layout means a better experience and a better Google score.

A CMS (Content Management System) is software used to create and update website content. The most popular CMS in the world is WordPress. Novi websites are built on proven, secure technology that we update regularly.

Novi advisors don’t search for customers blindly: head office prepares a list of businesses without a website or with a weak one. So even a “cold” visit starts with a specific, visible problem to solve.

Advisor tip: Start with an observation: “I saw you send customers to Facebook – let me show you what you’re missing.”

Colours evoke emotions and help people recognise a brand. A Novi website is designed in the client’s company colours.

At Novi an advisor earns a high commission on every website sold, paid in two parts: after the client pays and after the website launches.

A blog attracts long-tail traffic and builds topical authority. Consistency and real value for the reader are what count.

Consent Mode helps stay compliant with regulations while still partly modelling conversion data.

Many people prefer writing to calling, especially in the evening. A simple form with a few fields increases the number of enquiries. Novi forms are protected against spam and work on every device.

A cluster consists of a pillar article and detailed pieces. This structure helps Google understand the topic and builds topical authority.

Instead of pushy advertising, content marketing gives the audience real knowledge. This builds the business’s authority and makes it appear in search for many queries. Well-written content also fuels SEO and AEO.

A content plan helps publish valuable material regularly and tie it in with the industry’s seasonality.

For students under 26 a contract of mandate can be particularly advantageous. The terms are agreed individually.

Sufficient contrast is the basis of readability and accessibility, especially on a phone in sunlight.

Users ask full questions and follow up. Websites with natural language and specific answers fit this model better.

A conversion is the moment a visitor becomes a potential customer. The conversion rate shows what percentage of visits end in such an action. The goal of a Novi website is not just traffic, but conversions.

Advisor tip: The client doesn’t need “a website” – they need calls from customers. Talk about conversions.

If 100 people visit a website and 3 send the form, the conversion rate is 3%. Better design, content and CTAs can double that result without more traffic.

Under the GDPR and telecom law a website must inform about cookies and obtain consent for non-essential ones. A well-designed banner is clear and does not get in the way of using the site.

Cookies are used for analytics and advertising, among other things. Non-essential cookies require the user’s consent via the cookie banner.

Good copywriting speaks the customer’s language, shows benefits and removes doubts. On Novi websites copy is written for the specific industry and city, not copied from a template.

After a core update, rankings can change significantly. Websites with reliable content and strong E-E-A-T are usually the most resilient.

Core Web Vitals include LCP (loading of the main content), INP (response to interaction) and CLS (layout stability). Google takes them into account in rankings. Novi websites are optimised for these metrics.

CPA tells you what a new lead really costs. A good website lowers CPA because a larger share of visitors sends an enquiry.

In Google Ads or Meta Ads campaigns you pay for each click on the ad. CPC depends on competition in the industry and the quality of the ad. A good landing page lowers the real cost of acquiring a customer.

CPM is used mainly in brand-awareness campaigns. It shows how much it costs to reach an audience, regardless of clicks.

A CRM stores contacts, conversation history and sales stages. Novi advisors work with company lists and statuses prepared by head office.

Example: alongside the website the client buys a Google Ads campaign or a photo shoot.

CTR (click-through rate) measures how attractive a search result or ad is. CTR in Google is influenced by the page title, meta description and rich results from structured data.

Understanding the customer journey helps design a website that answers questions at the right moment: first “is this the right business for me?”, then “how much does it cost?”, and finally “how do I get in touch?”.

More and more users use dark mode. Modern websites take readability in both variants into account.

In small businesses the decision-maker is usually the owner. A conversation with an employee without authority rarely ends in a sale.

A design system speeds up building new pages and guarantees a consistent look. Novi uses its own component system.

WCAG guidelines cover contrast, text size, image descriptions and keyboard navigation, among other things. An accessible website is better for all users.

DNS works like the internet’s phone book. Correct DNS configuration is needed for the website and business email to work properly. Novi takes care of this as part of the technical launch.

A domain is a business’s digital address. With Novi the domain is always registered in the client’s company name – it is their property. A short, memorable domain strengthens the brand.

Advisor tip: Emphasise: “The domain is yours. No traps.” That builds trust.

Domain authority (e.g. DA or DR) is a metric created by SEO tools that estimates how strong a website is. It grows when valuable websites link to yours. Higher authority usually makes it easier to reach top positions.

Copied descriptions, e.g. from a manufacturer, make it hard to stand out in Google. Unique copy written for the specific business and city is standard on Novi websites.

Advisor tip: Ask the client whether they copied descriptions from competitors or a manufacturer – a common problem.

E-E-A-T describes whether content comes from someone you can trust. It is strengthened by projects, reviews, certificates, contact details and information about the team. Novi websites are designed to make these signals visible.

Advisor tip: Ask about certificates, years of experience and project photos – that is gold for E-E-A-T.

Marketing contact by phone or email may require prior consent, also in B2B. That is why the Novi model is based on advisors’ personal visits.

A good elevator pitch makes clear who you are, what problem you solve and why it is worth talking further. Every Novi advisor practises their pitch during training.

Advisor tip: Novi pitch: “We build professional websites for local businesses – a complete website for PLN 1,995. May I show you what yours could look like?”

Newsletters, reminders and email offers have a high return on investment, but require recipients’ consent and valuable content.

In GA4 it replaced the bounce rate. High engagement means the content meets visitors’ needs.

Search engines and AI understand the world through entities and the connections between them. Consistent business data helps identify a business unambiguously.

In GA4 everything is an event. The most important events are marked as conversions so you can see how many enquiries the website brings.

An FAQ answers customers’ doubts before they call and is great material for SEO, AEO and AI assistants. With structured data, an FAQ can be better understood by search engines.

A favicon is a small detail that signals professionalism and helps users spot the site among many open tabs. Google also shows it next to results on mobile.

Google picks a concise, accurate answer from one page. Well-built FAQs and lists increase the chance of getting this spot.

A Web Application Firewall blocks typical attacks and bots. It is an important security element for any website built on a popular CMS.

Many sales close only at the second or third contact. The website preview within 24 hours is the perfect reason for a follow-up.

Advisor tip: Agree a specific date to come back already during the first visit.

The footer is an important place for NAP data, links to the privacy policy and the key pages.

The GDPR defines how a business may collect and process data, e.g. from a contact form. A website should have a privacy policy and secure forms.

Gemini answers users’ questions and powers some AI features in search. Like ChatGPT, it uses content available online. A clear, trustworthy website increases the chance the business is suggested as an answer.

Generative AI is changing how content is created and information is found. At Novi it speeds up website production, while a human controls the quality.

GEO is the successor of classic SEO in the AI era. What counts are clear facts about the business, specific answers, quotable content, reviews and structured data. Every Novi website is prepared for GEO as standard – a rarity even at expensive agencies.

Advisor tip: Use a simple comparison: “SEO is Google, GEO is ChatGPT – Novi does both.”

Google Ads lets you appear quickly for specific searches, e.g. “electrician Kraków”. You pay per click. Campaign effectiveness depends heavily on the quality of the page the customer lands on.

The algorithm considers hundreds of signals: content, links, speed, user experience and trustworthiness. It is updated regularly.

GA4 shows the number of visits, traffic sources, the most popular pages and conversions. It lets you check whether a website actually brings enquiries.

The Google Business Profile shows the address, opening hours, photos and reviews. It is one of the most important elements of local SEO. The profile should link to a professional website that confirms the information and turns interest into contact.

Advisor tip: Check the client’s Google listing together – it often has no website link or points to Facebook.

The Google listing appears in Maps and local results. Combined with a professional website, it forms the strongest duo in local marketing.

Search Console shows which queries the site appears for, how many clicks it gets and whether Google indexes it correctly. It helps detect technical errors.

GTM makes it easy to add analytics, ad pixels and conversion tracking in one place.

Googlebot scans the internet regularly. A fast, logically built website with an XML sitemap is easy for it to read, which speeds up appearing in the results.

The H1 heading defines the main topic of a page, while H2–H6 divide it into sections. A correct heading structure makes reading easier for people, search engines and AI models.

Heatmaps help you understand visitor behaviour and improve the placement of buttons and content.

Content written “for SEO” without real value loses visibility. What counts is concrete help for the reader and the author’s experience.

Within a few seconds the hero section must say what the business offers, for whom and what to do next.

Good hosting ensures speed, security and stability. With Novi, hosting also includes backups, SSL, technical updates and email – for PLN 125 net per month.

Advisor tip: Hosting is not a cost “for nothing”: it is speed, security, backups and peace of mind.

Thanks to hreflang, a Polish user sees the Polish version of a page and an English user the English one. The Novi website uses hreflang for its PL and EN versions.

HTTPS protects data sent between the user and the website, e.g. from a form. Google treats it as a ranking signal and browsers warn against sites without HTTPS.

A consistent icon set organises information, e.g. a list of services or benefits.

Heavy images are the most common cause of slow websites. Optimisation includes compression, modern formats (e.g. WebP) and the right sizes for each device.

Before a page appears in Google, a crawler has to visit and index it. Technical errors or a missing sitemap can delay this. Novi websites are submitted and prepared for fast indexing.

For local businesses, local creators with an engaged community work best.

INP replaced FID in Core Web Vitals. Heavy scripts and plugins slow down the page’s response, which frustrates users.

Instagram works great in visual industries: beauty, food and interiors. It works best combined with your own website.

Internal links help users find related content and help search engines understand the site structure and the importance of pages.

Novi clients receive invoices for the website and for hosting, which lets them book these as business costs.

Most Novi clients are sole proprietors: tradespeople, practices and small service businesses.

Choosing keywords is the basis of SEO. For local businesses the most valuable phrases combine the service with the town. Novi copy is written with such phrases in mind – naturally, without stuffing.

Cannibalisation weakens the rankings of all those pages. The solution is a clear division of topics and, if needed, merging similar content.

Knowledge Graph data powers knowledge panels and AI answers. Structured data and consistent business profiles make it easier to get into this database.

A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is e.g. the number of form enquiries per month or phone calls from the website. Well-chosen KPIs help assess the return on marketing investment.

Advisor tip: For an advisor, KPIs include conversations with owners, presentations and sales.

A landing page focuses attention on one offer and one call to action. It is often used in ad campaigns. The better it matches the ad, the cheaper it is to acquire a customer.

Lazy loading speeds up the first display of a page and saves data on phones. It is standard on modern websites.

LCP is part of Core Web Vitals. A good score is under 2.5 seconds. It is influenced by hosting, the size of the header image and code quality.

A lead is a contact you can continue the conversation with. The goal of a business website is to generate leads. For many industries one extra lead a month is worth far more than the cost of hosting.

Advisor tip: Do the maths with the client: what is one new customer worth? Usually more than PLN 125 a month.

A lead magnet encourages undecided visitors to leave their details. At Novi the free website preview acts as the lead magnet.

Good qualification saves time. Key questions: does the business have a need, are you talking to the decision-maker and will the client accept the terms?

Advisor tip: Always make sure you are talking to the owner or the decision-maker.

The best links are earned naturally: through partners, local media, industry directories and interesting content. Buying links in bulk is risky.

LinkedIn is an important B2B channel for building an expert image, recruiting and forming business relationships.

LLMs can write, summarise and answer questions. Chatbots and AI search engines – which increasingly recommend businesses – are built on them.

Just as robots.txt is for crawlers, llms.txt is meant to help AI models quickly understand a site’s most important content. It is a new, evolving standard.

Consistent citations in industry directories and local portals strengthen the business’s credibility in Google’s eyes and improve local SEO.

Local SEO, the Google listing, local portals and partnerships with nearby businesses are the foundation of local marketing.

A place in the Local Pack is one of the most valuable positions for local businesses. It is influenced by the Google listing, reviews, distance and consistency with the website.

Advisor tip: Show the client the Local Pack for their industry and city – they are often not in it.

Local SEO covers the Google listing, consistent NAP data, local content, reviews and LocalBusiness structured data. It is the most important kind of SEO for service businesses working in one city.

Advisor tip: Search “[industry] + [city]” in Google together with the client – it is the best demonstration.

This code helps Google and AI assistants understand clearly who the business is and where it operates. It is one of the pillars of local SEO on Novi websites.

A good logo is simple, legible at small sizes and works on both light and dark backgrounds.

The phrase “plumber” is very competitive, but “bathroom tap replacement Mokotów” is not. Such phrases have less traffic but convert better.

Knowing LTV makes it easier to judge how much you can spend on acquiring a customer. In the Novi model LTV grows with every month of hosting.

An infected website can be flagged by Google as dangerous. Updates, a firewall and monitoring greatly reduce this risk.

Example: an automatic email reminding a customer about an air-conditioning service one year after installation.

A mega menu works well on larger websites, e.g. with many services or industries – like the Novi website.

Meta Ads lets you reach audiences precisely by location, interests and behaviour. Effectiveness depends on the page the customer lands on.

The meta description does not directly affect ranking, but it decides whether someone clicks the result. A good description is specific and includes a benefit and a call to action.

The pixel lets you measure conversions from campaigns and build remarketing audiences. It requires the user’s cookie consent.

The meta title is one of the most important on-page SEO elements. It should contain the main keyword and the business name, while encouraging the click.

Micro-businesses make up the vast majority of companies in Poland. They often lack the time or knowledge to take care of a website themselves.

Good microcopy removes doubts at the key moment, e.g. “We reply within 24 h” under a form button.

Most local searches happen on a phone, and Google evaluates websites mainly by their mobile version. Novi websites are designed for comfort on a small screen.

On small screens the menu hides behind an icon to leave room for content and the key CTA.

Mockups help the client imagine the end result before the website goes live.

MRR shows the stability of a subscription-based business, such as Novi website hosting.

Splitting a longer form into steps reduces the sense of effort and often increases the number of enquiries sent.

Correct MX records are needed for business email on your own domain to work reliably.

NAP (Name, Address, Phone) is the foundation of local SEO. If the data differs on the website, in Google and in directories, the search engine loses trust in the business.

Simple, logical navigation helps users and search engines quickly find the most important pages.

Novi’s prices are fixed and transparent, so negotiations are about scope and timing rather than price.

At Novi all prices are given net. 23% VAT is added to PLN 1,995 and PLN 125, which a VAT-registered business can deduct.

Advisor tip: Always say clearly: net prices plus VAT.

A newsletter keeps in touch with customers, announces promotions and builds loyalty. Under the GDPR it requires recipients’ consent.

The NIP is needed e.g. to issue an invoice and to verify a business in registers.

Nofollow links are used e.g. in ads and comments. They can still bring traffic, but matter less for rankings.

Noindex is used e.g. for thank-you, test or internal pages. That way only valuable pages are visible in Google.

NPS is measured with one question: “How likely are you to recommend us to a friend?”. A high NPS means natural word-of-mouth marketing.

Objections such as “I don’t have time” or “I already have Facebook” are a natural part of sales. A good advisor listens, asks follow-up questions and answers specifically. At Novi Academy we practise answers to the most common objections.

Advisor tip: To “I have Facebook” answer: “Facebook is yours only until the algorithm changes. A website and domain are yours for good.”

Good onboarding means the client knows what to expect and a new advisor quickly becomes effective. New Novi advisors complete the Novi Academy training.

Analysing the competition in Google shows what is missing in the market and how the business can stand out.

Advisor tip: Check with the client who holds the top positions in Google for their industry.

Reviews are one of the strongest factors in buying decisions and an important signal for local SEO and E-E-A-T. A Novi website shows customer reviews in a prominent place.

Open Graph defines the title, description and preview image on Facebook or LinkedIn. An attractive preview increases clicks.

“Where do your customers come from today?” gives more information than “Do you have a website?”. Open questions open up the conversation.

Advisor tip: The best opening question: “How do customers find you today?”

Organic reach on social media has been falling for years. That is why your own website, independent of algorithms, is so important.

Organic traffic does not require paying for every click. It is built through SEO, good content and authority. It is the most lasting source of customers for local businesses.

Every extra second of loading reduces the number of enquiries. Speed depends on hosting, image weight and code quality. Novi websites are optimised for speed from the start of production.

Advisor tip: Run PageSpeed Insights on the client’s current website – the result often speaks for itself.

Questions from this section are a great source of FAQ topics. By answering them on your website, you increase your chance of visibility in this part of the results.

Advisor tip: Show the client the “People also ask” section for their industry – it is a ready-made list of topics for the website.

Perplexity cites the pages it uses. Businesses with clear, reliable content have a chance to become such a source. It is another channel where GEO matters.

A persona helps write copy and design the website from the customer’s perspective. For a renovation company it might be a couple who have just bought a flat.

In small businesses the owner’s personal brand is often the biggest asset. A website can highlight it with an “About me” section.

Clicks on the phone number can be measured as events to check how many enquiries the website really generates.

Popups can increase conversions, but used too aggressively they annoy users and can hurt SEO on mobile.

A portfolio shows the quality of work better than any description. In many industries it is the most visited part of the website.

Every website that collects data, e.g. through a form or analytics, needs a GDPR-compliant privacy policy. It is also a signal of the business’s credibility.

The quality of an AI answer depends on the quality of the prompt. At Novi we use AI in website production, but every result is checked and refined by a human.

At Novi much of the prospecting is done by head office: it prepares lists of businesses without a website or with a weak one. The advisor focuses on conversations.

A prototype helps spot navigation and usability problems at an early stage.

QR codes on business cards, flyers or company cars connect the offline world with the website.

Advisor tip: An advisor can show the client a QR code to the preview of their future website.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation combines search with answer generation. Many AI search engines and assistants work this way – including Bolly on this website.

Rapport is built through genuine interest, listening and matching the pace of the conversation to the client.

Happy clients know other business owners. A few weeks after launch, Novi advisors ask for one referral – the warmest possible lead.

Advisor tip: The best moment to ask for a referral: when the client praises their new website.

REGON data helps estimate the number of businesses in an area – one of the sources for building company lists for advisors.

Remarketing reminds users who did not send an enquiry on their first visit about the business. It works in Google Ads and Meta Ads and requires cookie consent.

Responsive Web Design makes a website readable and convenient on any device. Today it is an absolute standard and a condition for a good Google position. Every Novi website is fully responsive.

Advisor tip: Show the client’s current website on a phone – a lack of responsiveness is obvious immediately.

The Novi model is based on a long-term relationship: the client stays because the website works and is fast and secure. High retention is a sign that the product really delivers value.

Thanks to structured data, a Google result can take up more space and attract more clicks than a plain link.

A ROAS of 5 means PLN 5 of revenue for every PLN 1 spent on advertising. It is a key metric for sales campaigns.

Robots.txt can, for example, exclude the admin area from indexing. A wrong configuration can accidentally block the whole site from Google, so it requires care.

ROI shows whether marketing spend pays off. With a Novi website, one extra customer a month is often enough for the investment to pay for itself many times over.

Advisor tip: Calculate the ROI out loud with the client – it is the strongest closing argument.

The funnel consists of stages: awareness, interest, consideration and decision. A website supports every stage – from finding the business in Google to sending an enquiry.

Advisor tip: Your conversation is a funnel too: spark interest, show a preview, remove doubts, close.

The pipeline shows how many conversations, presentations and offers are in progress. It helps plan work and forecast results.

Their own territory means Novi advisors don’t compete with each other and can build relationships with local businesses.

Positioning covers technical optimisation, content, links and local SEO. It is a long-term process – the better the website’s foundation, the easier and cheaper it is to get results.

Matching content to intent is key. Someone who types “emergency electrician 24h” wants to call, not read a guide – the website has to make that easy.

Many industries have a clear season. The website and content should get ahead of the season, because customers plan purchases in advance.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) covers the technology, content, structure and authority of a website. On Novi websites SEO is built in from day one, not bought as an extra.

Advisor tip: Instead of “we do SEO” say: “Your customers will find you on Google when they search for your service.”

Today the SERP (Search Engine Results Page) contains ads, maps, AI Overviews, organic results and related questions. The battle is about visibility in each of these elements.

A session ends after a longer period of inactivity. The number of sessions is one of the basic measures of website traffic.

A sitemap speeds up indexing and tells Google about updates. Novi websites have an automatically generated sitemap.

A few sentences about the business, the area or projects relax the conversation before you move on to the offer.

The SME sector is a huge part of the Polish economy and the main target group for Novi websites.

Social media build relationships and reach, but they don’t replace a website: algorithms change and a profile doesn’t fully belong to the business. The best results come from active profiles combined with a professional website.

Advisor tip: To “I have Instagram” answer: “Great – now let’s give those followers a place where they can become customers.”

People prefer a business others have already chosen. Reviews, client logos and project numbers are strong sales arguments.

An advisor’s LinkedIn or Instagram profile can support credibility and make further contacts easier.

Seasonal offers, e.g. an air-conditioning service before summer, can increase enquiries. They must be honest and clearly described.

Without them, emails from the company domain end up in spam more often and fraudsters can impersonate the business more easily. We configure them at launch.

SSL protects user data and is required by browsers and Google. On Novi websites the SSL certificate is included in the hosting price.

It keeps the menu and contact button always at hand, which increases the number of enquiries.

The founder’s story, an interesting project or a happy customer stick in the memory better than dry facts.

Structured data tells search engines that a page contains e.g. a local business with an address, opening hours, reviews and FAQs. This can make the Google result richer and helps AI assistants understand the offer. Every Novi website contains basic structured data.

Novi hosting works on a subscription basis: PLN 125 net per month for hosting, security, updates and email.

A simple SWOT analysis helps define the differentiators worth showing on the website.

A visual presentation says more than words: the client’s Google result, an example website from their industry and a preview of their own website.

Advisor tip: Prepare 3 tabs: the client’s Google result, an example from their industry, the price list.

The better a business knows its target group, the more effectively it can tailor its language, offer and communication channels.

A cheap template looks like thousands of other websites and is rarely refined for SEO. Novi combines a standardised process with an individual design: every website is tailored to the client’s industry and brand.

Short, specific reviews with a name and photo are more credible than general praise. They are an important E-E-A-T element.

Pages with a single sentence or only photos perform poorly in search. Google rewards content that genuinely answers the user’s questions.

TikTok builds awareness, but buying decisions are often made only after checking the business’s website and reviews.

The length of AI questions and answers is counted in tokens. The number of tokens determines the cost and the model’s context limit.

A consistent tone on the website, social media and in conversation builds recognition and trust.

A website that covers its topic comprehensively across many related articles is considered a more reliable source by Google and AI.

A high TTFB usually means weak hosting or no cache. It is the foundation of speed and depends on the choice of hosting provider.

Readable typography with a clear heading hierarchy makes reading easier and gives the website character.

UI is the “look”, UX is the “feel”. Both have to work together. A consistent, modern interface creates the impression of a professional business within seconds.

Example: a client with a basic website later orders extra pages or an online shop.

Good hosting ensures uptime of 99.9% or more. Every hour of downtime means lost customers and a worse Google assessment.

The USP (Unique Selling Proposition) answers the question: why should a customer choose this business? On a Novi website the client’s differentiators are shown right on the first screen.

Advisor tip: Novi’s USP in one sentence: “An agency-level website for PLN 1,995 – with a free launch.”

With UTMs you know whether a customer came from a newsletter, Facebook or a flyer with a QR code. They are the basis for measuring campaign effectiveness.

Advisor tip: Use QR codes with UTMs on flyers and business cards – you’ll see how many people visit through them.

Good UX means users quickly find what they are looking for and send an enquiry without frustration. Simple navigation, readability, speed and clear CTAs all matter.

A good value proposition fits in one sentence and is visible straight away on the homepage.

The client buys value: new customers, time and peace of mind. Showing the value stops price being the main objection.

Advisor tip: Compare PLN 125 a month with the value of one new job for the client.

Businesses registered as active VAT payers can usually deduct the VAT on the invoice for the website and hosting.

Short videos of projects or an introduction to the team build strong trust and hold attention on the website.

A consistent identity makes a business look professional across all channels – from the website to the company car.

Voice searches are usually longer and phrased as questions. Websites with clear FAQ answers perform better in this channel.

Analytics shows where visitors come from, which pages they read and how many send an enquiry. The most popular tool is Google Analytics 4. Without analytics it is hard to judge whether a website actually brings customers.

WebP images are usually 25–35% smaller. Novi websites automatically use modern image formats.

Subtle animations add lightness and guide attention. Too many animations slow the website down and distract.

Chat – run by a human or AI – shortens the path to contact. On the Novi website the Bolly mascot helps with this.

A preview lets the client see the result before deciding. It is one of Novi’s strongest sales arguments.

The right amount of space improves readability and makes a website look modern and premium.

A wireframe lets you plan the structure and hierarchy of content before designing the look.

Happy customers recommend a business to friends. A professional website makes it easy for a referred customer to check the business and get in touch.

WordPress is flexible, secure with regular updates and SEO-friendly. Ikoon Media has been building websites and online shops on it for hundreds of businesses for years.

Websites of clinics, accounting firms or law offices must demonstrate high E-E-A-T: qualifications, reliable sources and complete business details.

Video guides and project presentations on YouTube build authority and can attract customers for years.

Thanks to AI Overviews, maps and answer snippets, more and more searches end without a click. That is why a business must be visible in the answers themselves – exactly the job of GEO and AEO.
