Question 3: A growth marketer wants to reduce CAC. Which lever is most directly effective?
- Increasing ad creative volume
- Improving conversion rate of existing traffic (Correct answer)

Improving the conversion rate means you acquire more customers from the same ad spend, directly reducing cost per acquisition.
Question 4: What does 'data granularity' refer to in analytics reporting?
- The accuracy of tracking pixels
- The level of detail at which data is collected and reported (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The level of detail at which data is collected and reported
Data granularity describes how detailed or specific data is — for example, daily data is more granular than monthly aggregates.
Question 5: Which metric measures the revenue generated per email sent?
- Revenue per click (RPC)
- Revenue per email (RPE) (Correct answer)
- Email ROI
- Average order value (AOV)
Correct answer: Revenue per email (RPE)
Revenue per email (RPE) is calculated by dividing total revenue attributed to a campaign by the number of emails sent, showing direct monetization efficiency.
Question 6: What is a 'leading indicator' in growth marketing?
- A metric that reflects past performance outcomes
- A metric that predicts future business results (Correct answer)
- A metric reported to executive leadership
- A metric used only in paid advertising
Correct answer: A metric that predicts future business results
Leading indicators are predictive metrics (e.g., trial sign-ups, feature adoption) that signal future outcomes before they appear in lagging metrics like revenue.
Question 7: A company's MQL-to-SQL conversion rate drops from 30% to 15%. What should a growth marketer investigate first?
- Website load speed
- Lead scoring criteria and sales follow-up process (Correct answer)
- Social media follower growth

Correct answer: Lead scoring criteria and sales follow-up process
A drop in MQL-to-SQL rate suggests either lead quality has declined (scoring issue) or sales is not effectively qualifying and following up on leads.
