    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Search engines use cookies to maintain a history of a user's search activity. Cookies are small files that are stored on a user's device and contain information about their browsing behavior. When a user performs a search, the search engine uses the cookies to track their activity and personalize their search results. This allows search engines to provide more relevant and targeted search results to users based on their previous searches.

    Correct Answer
    A. Font type
    Explanation
    Search engines do not have to look for font type as a signal to help users find what they are looking for. Font type is not a relevant factor in determining the relevance, authority, or trustworthiness of a webpage. Search engines primarily focus on signals such as popularity, authority, and relevance to rank and display search results to users.

    • They serve as a social signal

    • They offer assurance

    • They take advantage of loss aversion

    • All the above answers are reasons why default options are good

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above answers are reasons why default options are good
    Explanation
    Default options work for decision making because they offer a path of least resistance, meaning that people tend to choose the default option rather than exploring other alternatives. They also serve as a social signal, as people often follow what others are doing or what is considered the norm. Default options offer assurance by providing a sense of security and familiarity. Additionally, default options take advantage of loss aversion, where people are more likely to stick with the default option to avoid potential losses. Therefore, all of the above reasons explain why default options are good for decision making.

    Explanation
    Brand equity refers to the value and perception that consumers have towards a brand.

The overall value of a brand is determined by its brand equity, which represents the intangible assets and reputation that the brand has built over time.

    • Gross or median order value of sales.

    • Examining whether or not your organisation is data-led.

    Correct Answer
    A. Examining whether or not your organisation is data-led.
    Explanation
    Examining whether or not your organization is data-led cannot be used to measure success because it is not a direct measure of performance or outcomes. While being data-led is important for making informed decisions, it does not directly indicate the success or effectiveness of a business. Success can be measured through metrics such as website engagement, sales order value, service-related metrics, and technical performance, as these factors directly reflect the performance and impact of the organization.

    Positioning refers to the process of situating a brand in a unique place in people's minds. It involves creating a distinct image and perception of the brand in the target audience's minds, differentiating it from competitors. This positioning helps consumers associate specific attributes, values, or benefits with the brand, making it stand out and influencing their purchasing decisions.

    Personality is not considered a demographic factor because it refers to an individual's unique characteristics, traits, and behaviors, which are not determined by factors such as income, race, gender, or age. Demographic factors are typically objective and measurable characteristics that are used to categorize and analyze populations, such as income level, racial or ethnic background, gender identity, and age group. Personality, on the other hand, is subjective and varies greatly from person to person.

Text links are used for linking different pages or sections of a website, but they do not affect the optimization of images with keywords. The other options mentioned, such as using descriptive filenames, specific alt tags and title attributes, ensuring relevance between header tags and images, and adding meta information to the image, all contribute to optimizing images for SEO by incorporating relevant keywords.

    Correct Answer
    A. Rather than making stuff people want, successful organisations are focused on making people want stuff.
    Explanation
    Successful organizations are focused on making people want stuff. This statement is false because successful organizations are actually focused on making stuff that people want. The key to success is understanding the needs and desires of the customers and creating products or services that fulfill those needs. The statement suggests a reversal of this concept, implying that organizations create a desire for their products rather than responding to existing demands. However, this goes against the fundamental principles of marketing and business success.
