Create a glossary that helps readers act
Pair definitions with examples and adjacent terms.
The scenario
A glossary entry defines CPA but leaves readers unsure whether it refers to signup or sale.
A definition paired with $600 ÷ 12 sales = $50 per sale clarifies the unit. A nearby note distinguishes sale CPA from lead cost.
Apply it to your own work
Use one page or clearly organized entries depending on depth. Link a practical guide and use consistent units across terms.
What to watch for
Avoid creating a thin page for every acronym. A compact glossary section may answer related questions better.
Test a term with a second example
For CPA, show a sale example and a signup example using the same spend. The rate can change dramatically because the definition of acquisition changed. Label the units beside the number and link to the relevant calculator.
Group terms that readers naturally compare, such as CPA, CPL, and cost per sale. Give each entry a short definition, a worked example, and a link only when the linked article explains a different decision.
