Adding a glossary page

Adding a glossary page is a dictionary page of your niche’s terms: a list of terms with clear definitions, grouping by alphabet or topic, search, internal linking (each term links to the right products, services, articles). We add DefinedTerm markup (Schema.org) and human-readable URLs. Why it is needed: a client new to your field does not know the jargon (in finance — “offer”, “ISIN”, “coupon”; in construction, medicine, IT — their own terms) and is afraid to make a decision; a glossary explains in plain language, removes fear and increases trust. How it differs from a FAQ and a blog is clear on one term, “offer”: in the glossary it is a short definition “what it is”; in a FAQ (see the “Adding a FAQ page” service) it is a purchase question “does your offer apply to this product”; in a blog (see the “Adding a blog” service) it is an explainer article “how to read an offer before a deal”. One term, three different roles, and they link to each other rather than duplicate. Why it is better than Wikipedia or a free plugin: the definition is written for your audience and connected by internal links to your products and services — someone else’s dictionary will explain the word but will not bring the client to you and will not sell; an auto-generated glossary “for show” is useless and looks like spam. Honestly about SEO: the page attracts “what is…” queries, but if aggregators and Wikipedia top the results for your terms, or there is almost no demand for them, there will be little traffic — then the value is in trust and UX, not search; we assess this in advance. And honestly: a glossary is needed where the niche really has confusing terms; for a simple product without jargon it is redundant, and we will say so directly. Picture this: a person reads about your services for the first time and stumbles on unfamiliar words; the glossary explains them right there — and they calmly go on toward a request. The base price starts from 12,000 ₽ for a dictionary of about 20-50 terms: manual selection of the ones that really confuse the client, definitions in plain language, internal linking and markup; it depends on the number of terms and the design.

• The client does not understand your field’s terms — afraid to make a mistake and does not decide to buy.
• “What is…” queries on your topics go to competitors and Wikipedia — you do not catch them.
• Managers waste time explaining the same concepts to every newcomer.
• The site does not look expert — there is no place where the topic is explained in plain words.

• A glossary page with terms and clear definitions for your audience
• Grouping by alphabet or topic, search across terms
• Internal linking: terms link to your products, services, blog articles
• DefinedTerm markup (Schema.org) and human-readable URLs
• Responsive and fast loading
• Manual selection and wording of the terms that really confuse your clients
• Linking with the blog and FAQ: from an article or answer — a link to a term’s definition

• The client understands the topic — less fear, higher trust and readiness to buy
• For terms with demand the site attracts “what is…” queries — extra traffic and authority
• Fewer repeated explanations — the client reads the definition themselves
• Terms lead to sales — from a definition a link to your product or service (which Wikipedia does not have)

• You leave a request and send the terms (or we collect them from your practice)
• We design the structure, definitions for your audience and the page design
• We implement internal linking, markup, search, test and launch

• How is a glossary different from a FAQ and a blog?

  Let us show it on the term “offer”. In the glossary it is a short definition “what it is”. In a FAQ (see the “Adding a FAQ page” service) it is a purchase question: “does your offer apply to this product”. In a blog (see the “Adding a blog” service) it is an explainer article “how to read an offer before a deal”. One term, three different roles: the glossary explains the word, the FAQ removes an objection, the blog covers the topic. They link to each other rather than duplicate.

• Will a glossary bring traffic?

  It can — on “what is [term]” queries, if the definitions are good and the terms are actually searched. But honestly: if aggregators and Wikipedia top the results for them, or there is almost no demand, there will be little traffic — then the main benefit is trust and convenience, not search. An auto-glossary “for show” is useless; we make proper definitions and internal linking, and assess the real demand in advance.

• What if my field has no complex terms?

  Then you probably do not need a glossary, and we will say so honestly. It is useful in niches with jargon (finance, law, medicine, IT, construction), where the client gets confused by words. For a simple product without terms it is better to invest in a FAQ or a blog.
