Domain 3: Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Allow archive crawling; retain the noindex tags.

Question 5

Mobile field report for a product page, measured at the 75th percentile: Largest Contentful Paint, 2.1 seconds; Interaction to Next Paint, 360 milliseconds; Cumulative Layout Shift, 0.06. Which assessment belongs in the SEO performance review?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Responsiveness needs improvement; loading and visual stability are both good.

Domain 4: Content Marketing

Question 6

New customers buy a reporting tool but often cancel before producing their first client report. Interviews reveal that they understand the product's benefits but struggle to follow the setup instructions. The content team is asked to improve early customer activation. Its next brief should prioritize:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - A setup walkthrough ending with the customer's first completed client report.

Domain 5: Digital Advertising (Including PPC)

Question 7

Finance evaluates a campaign on its contribution after advertising, not its revenue alone. The campaign generated $24,000 in incremental revenue, incurred $15,600 in variable product and fulfillment costs, and cost $6,000 to advertise. There are no other incremental costs. What should the marketer report about whether the campaign covered its costs?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - A $2,400 surplus; the campaign covered its incremental costs.

Domain 6: Conversion Optimization (UX)

Question 8

A mistyped postal code at checkout triggers 'Unable to continue' and clears every address field. During usability sessions, shoppers repeatedly re-enter valid details but cannot identify the error. Which change directly addresses both observed obstacles?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - Retain valid entries and explain how to correct the postal-code field.

Domain 7: Email Marketing

Question 9

An email campaign's tracked open rate rises sharply as more recipients use Apple Mail Privacy Protection. Verified clicks and purchases remain unchanged. Sales proposes treating every tracked opener as a high-interest prospect. Which recommendation best addresses the measurement problem?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Select follow-up prospects using verified clicks and purchases, not tracked opens.

Domain 8: Mobile Marketing

Question 10

An iPhone user declines App Tracking Transparency permission. A retailer wants to keep measuring onboarding completion within its own app, without linking records to other companies' data or sharing them with a data broker. This measurement otherwise satisfies applicable privacy requirements. How can the retailer preserve that measurement while respecting the user's choice?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Continue onboarding measurement for the retailer alone, without linking it to other companies' data.
