Does sitting through a meeting where someone throws words around like PPC, SEO and A/B Testing fill you with dread?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone!
At MNA Digital, we’ve ditched the jargon because we believe in making conversations simpler, clearer, and more valuable for everyone.
Here’s why we believe in the power of plain English and why it matters for your business.
What’s Wrong with Jargon?
Jargon often complicates what should be simple. Terms like “ad extensions” and “HTML tags” might mean something to marketers, but if you’re a business owner focused on running your shop, construction company, or online store, these words can lead to confusion.
When industry-specific buzzwords creep into conversations, they can:
- Alienate people who aren’t familiar with the terminology.
- Cause misunderstandings when messages aren’t clearly understood.
- Create a barrier between service providers and clients, breaking trust rather than building it.
At MNA Digital, we’ve learned that success doesn’t come from sounding complicated – it comes from helping you understand exactly what we’re doing, and why it benefits your business.
The Benefits of Plain English
Switching to plain English isn’t about “dumbing things down”; it’s about removing unnecessary barriers to communication. Here are the key advantages we’ve seen in our approach:
1. Better Clarity and Understanding
Plain English allows every business we work with to fully understand the strategies we’re implementing. It ensures you know how services like digital advertising or website optimisation are driving your business forward, without needing a marketing dictionary to keep up.
2. Enhanced Communication Effectiveness
Clear language leads to clear results. When we explain marketing concepts in straightforward terms, everyone is on the same page. This creates productive discussions, better ideas, and more effective collaborations.
3. Stronger Trust and Credibility
When we remove jargon, we’re being transparent. You’ll know what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, and why it works. Transparency builds trust – and that’s the foundation of our relationships with the businesses we support.
4. More Accessible for Non-Native English Speakers
The UK is home to many thriving businesses led by non-native English speakers. Plain English bridges the gap, making sure that language doesn’t become a barrier to understanding or collaboration.
5. Streamlined Workflows, Less Confusion
With simple, accessible language, there’s less risk of miscommunication or misunderstanding. That means projects get completed smoothly and efficiently, saving time for everyone involved.
How We Translate Jargon into Plain English
At its core, plain English is about breaking down complex ideas into simple, relatable concepts. Here’s how we tackle it:
- Instead of PPC, we say “advertising that makes your business show up at the top of Google when people search for you.”
- Instead of SEO, we explain it as “helping Google understand why your website is useful so more people find it online.”
- Rather than talking about A/B Testing, we might say, “We’ll compare two types of ads to see which gets the most clicks for your business.”
- And when we talk about ad extensions, we call them “extra bits of information like your phone number or location that make your ads more helpful to customers.”
By translating technical terms into clear explanations, we make sure you’re never left scratching your head.
