Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the purpose of GDPR in marketing?

The General Data Protection Regulation is an EU law that governs how personal data is collected, stored, and used. It ensures individuals’ privacy rights are respected. Businesses must comply or face significant penalties.

What is the difference between UI and UX?

UI refers to the visual interface that users interact with, while UX encompasses the overall user experience. Good UI makes a product look appealing, but UX determines how easy and enjoyable it is to use. Both are critical for customer satisfaction.

Why is SEO important for video content?

SEO ensures that videos appear in search engine results by optimizing titles, descriptions, and tags. This increases visibility and drives traffic from relevant audiences. Without SEO, even great videos may go unnoticed online.

A Content Management System allows marketers to create, manage, and publish website content without advanced coding. Popular examples include WordPress and Drupal. They streamline workflows and make content updates efficient.
