Cross-country wording notes

The same calculation is phrased differently by country and language. Locale pages exist to match those variations more directly.

  • Marketing queries often keep acronyms such as ROAS, CAC, CPC, and CTR, but local users also search with fully written phrases.
  • English-language searches attach channel context more directly, such as paid media, acquisition cost, or cost per click.
  • Localized pages should keep the acronym while pairing it with country-specific wording in the surrounding copy.

Update basis

An update date alone is not enough. The page should also state the assumptions behind the output so search visitors can trust the number faster.
