Marketing-Cloud-Account-Engagement-Consultant Practice Test Questions

C.   First-party tracking tracks prospects across different website domains, while third-party tracking does not.

Explanation:

First-party tracking in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement allows companies to track prospect activity across multiple domains that they own. Unlike third-party tracking, which is limited to a single domain and can be blocked by modern browsers, first-party tracking is more reliable and secure because it sets cookies directly from the company’s own domain. This approach improves tracking accuracy, especially in privacy-conscious environments like the EU, because it is considered more trustworthy. It enables marketers to follow a user’s behavior across their main website and subdomains (or even across different regional sites), providing a more complete view of prospect engagement.

A.   Create a dynamic list to sync prospects from Salesforce. Build an Automation rule with criteria :: Job Title:: CEO :: Industry:: Software, action :: add to the Salesforce campaign.

B.   Import a .csv file of prospects. Build an Automation rule with criteria :: Job Title :: CEO :: Industry :: Software, action :: add to Salesforce Campaign

Explanation:

To replicate LenoxSoft’s Salesforce-based campaign enrollment process in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot), they should either use an automation rule (A) for continuous, dynamic automation or manually import prospects and apply a rule (B). The automation rule method (A) is preferred for a real-time, ongoing solution, where the rule checks for job title “CEO” and industry “Software,” then automatically adds qualifying prospects to the campaign. Option B is suitable if working with static imports. Both options ensure that qualifying leads are captured and aligned with Salesforce campaigns for consistent sales and marketing reporting.

C.   Create a Custom User Role with only the options to 'view' lists and 'view' emails selected

Explanation:

To ensure that a marketing intern only has view access to prospect lists and sent emails, the best approach is to create a custom user role with only the "view" permissions enabled for lists and emails. Default user roles, like “Marketing,” often grant broader access, including the ability to create or edit assets, which may be beyond the intern’s responsibilities. By tailoring a custom role, LenoxSoft can uphold security best practices while still giving the intern the access they need to learn and contribute safely without risk of making unwanted changes to active campaigns or assets.

A.   Send using the form's completion actions.

Explanation:

The most efficient and automated way for a lead to receive a follow-up email after submitting a Contact Us form is by using form completion actions in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. Completion actions trigger instantly after the form is submitted, allowing marketers to send a follow-up email immediately. This action does not require list creation, rule building, or additional filters—it happens in real-time and ensures that every engaged prospect gets the right communication while also updating their record. It's the best method for consistent, immediate engagement after an inquiry.

A.   Account

B.   Opportunity

Explanation:

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement syncs directly with Salesforce Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities. These objects form the core relationship between marketing and sales data, allowing Pardot to track engagement and tie it to revenue. Cases, Orders, or other custom objects are not natively synced unless special configuration is done (like enabling custom object syncing). The Account and Opportunity objects specifically support Account-Based Marketing and pipeline reporting within Pardot and Salesforce campaigns, making them essential for sales insight and campaign ROI tracking.

A.   Webinar Attended

B.   Webinar Invited

D.   Webinar Registered

Explanation:

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement supports scoring rules for webinar interactions when connected through a supported webinar platform (like GoToWebinar or WebEx). You can set up scoring rules for:
Webinar Attended
Webinar Invited
Webinar Registered
These scoring actions allow marketers to measure the engagement value of prospects who interact with webinars. This data can trigger automation rules, list membership, or engagement program steps. Webinar Refusal is not a tracked metric, as Pardot doesn’t capture negative responses like declining an invite.

C.   Create an automation rule based on the prospects time to adjust their score to 0 if they haven't been active in 60 days

Explanation:

To prevent inactive prospects from being assigned (despite meeting the score threshold), LenoxSoft should use an automation rule that resets the score of inactive prospects after 60 days to zero. This ensures they do not meet the score-based assignment criteria. Automation rules allow for time-based activity filters, such as “last activity date,” and the action can adjust the prospect’s score. This method helps keep the sales pipeline clean and focused on engaged, timely leads, while ensuring old or disengaged prospects aren’t mistakenly routed to sales reps.

C.   Matching or unmatching a criteria will result in an increase or decrease of the grade by , or 3/3 of a grade.

D.   All prospects start with a grade of D.

Explanation:

Grading evaluates how well a prospect fits your ideal customer profile. All prospects start with a default grade of D and are graded up or down based on how they match profile criteria. Each match or mismatch changes the grade by 1/3 (or ⅓) of a letter, not full letters at once. This allows more granular evaluation. You cannot assign a prospect to multiple profiles, and the default profile criteria can be modified, so options A and B are incorrect. Grading works in tandem with scoring to identify high-fit, high-interest leads.

C.   Use rendering test and send to Test List

Explanation:

To thoroughly test all elements of an email—including variable tags, link tracking, and email rendering across devices and clients—the best strategy is to use a rendering test combined with a send to a Test List. Rendering tests allow you to preview the email in different email clients and devices, ensuring visual compatibility. Sending to a test list also allows you to verify dynamic content, HML merge fields, and tracking links as they would appear to real users. This approach is the most comprehensive way to ensure email quality before going live.

A.   Twitter

B.   Facebook

C.   CD Linkedln

Explanation:

You listed AddThis and FullContact as answers, but these are not social media connectors. The actual available social media connectors in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement are:
Twitter
Facebook
LinkedIn
These allow for social post scheduling, engagement tracking, and in some cases, lead generation integration. AddThis and FullContact are third-party tools for content sharing and data enrichment, respectively, and do not act as native connectors within Pardot.
