Digital marketing term
HTML
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to structure content on web pages.
Detailed explanation
HTML defines the structure of web documents—headings, paragraphs, links, forms, images, and semantic elements that browsers render. It is not a styling or scripting language; CSS handles presentation and JavaScript adds interactivity.
In digital marketing and SEO, clean HTML supports crawlability, accessibility, structured data, and on-page signals such as title tags and heading hierarchy. Poor markup can hurt indexing, Core Web Vitals, and conversion experiences.
