<h3>What is a glossary?</h3>
<p>A glossary, often called encyclopedia or lexicon is an industry-specific word list with the corresponding explanations.<br />
It’s very important that the terms defined are easy to understand and comprehensible.</p>
<h3>How can your website benefit from a glossary?</h3>
<p>Your website is likely filled with blog posts, shop products, case studies and more. Everything you need to get conversions, leads, etc.</p>
<p>Providing a glossary on your website on the other hand is an ideal way to pass expert knowledge about a specific topic.<br />
