If you've ever felt like marketing your therapy practice is confusing, intimidating, or just not your zone of genius, you're not alone. In this episode, I want to help you breathe a little easier about it. Marketing doesn't have to be reactive or overwhelming. It can be intentional, sustainable, and rooted in long-term success for your business and your peace of mind. Whether you're just opening your solo practice, looking to welcome more clients, or scaling into a group practice, my guest Kristie Plantinga and I talk honestly about what actually works when it comes to digital marketing for therapists. You'll hear how to keep your practice visible online, how to think about your return on investment, and which tools can help you track whether your efforts are truly bringing new clients your way. (00:14:21) “It's about, did I get a return on the investment that I put into this? It's the most important thing really, when you're working with a marketing company.” — Kristie Plantinga Kristie is the founder of Place Digital (formerly TherapieSEO) and a passionate advocate for helping therapists understand how online marketing really works. Together, we unpack what private practice owners need to know about SEO, Google Ads, and digital marketing strategy — all from a grounded, therapist-friendly perspective. Smart Marketing Strategies for Private Practice Therapists Marketing is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your practice — and it can feel risky when you don't know where to start. In this conversation, we explore how to make wise, informed choices about where to spend your time and money so you can build stability for years to come.

Whether we love it or not, if potential clients can't find you there, your practice is essentially invisible. But there's a catch — Google isn't always a reliable partner for small businesses. Policies change overnight, and as therapists, we're rarely their priority. That's why we talk about investing in your marketing before you need it, rather than reacting when your caseload dips. Sustainable marketing is about planting seeds now for the clients you'll be serving six months from today. Kristie shares her honest take on Google Ads — calling Google “a selfish and unreliable partner” — and explains why SEO is a more sustainable, long-term investment. While ads can create short bursts of visibility, SEO helps you build an online foundation that continually attracts your ideal clients. How Much Should You Really Spend on Marketing? In this episode, Kristie and I walk through what a healthy marketing cycle looks like for different stages of private practice. We talk about setting a budget that feels aligned, tracking what's really working, and investing in strategies that will continue to pay off over time. Marketing decisions made from fear rarely lead to growth that lasts. Instead, we can learn to make calm, confident, and informed choices about where to invest our energy and resources.

Send us a textMark and Trevor discuss the untapped potential of Google Ads for e-commerce brands. They break down why many companies undervalue Google as a demand capture channel, focusing on problem-solution products, research-heavy purchases, and price points above $150. The conversation reveals how four recent clients saw massive incremental lifts by shifting from 5-10% Google spend to 40-50%, without decreasing Meta budgets. They explain the difference between demand generation and demand capture, the importance of the "filter phase" for negative keywords, and why post-purchase surveys asking "how long have you been searching?" can transform your channel strategy. Mark shares real examples of brands hitting their best new customer acquisition days in October—typically a down month—by properly leveraging Google alongside Meta.Connect with the Unstoppable Marketer on Instagram, Facebook, X, and youtube @unstoppablemarkerspodcast and share your thoughts on channel diversification strategies.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews John Ferguson, founder of Hobart Gutter Guard Co., shares his journey from working in community services to building a $500K lifestyle business. Starting as a side hustle in 2018, he grew the company through smart systems, clear SOPs, and delegation. By hiring a virtual assistant and automating operations, John reduced his workload to just two hours a week. After selling half the business, he now focuses on expanding the model across Australia. His story is a powerful example of how vision, structure, and marketing mastery can turn a small local business into a scalable success. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to John Ferguson, the hardest thing in growing a small business is the isolation and loneliness that come with being a solopreneur. He explained that working alone – especially on tasks like marketing, sales copy, and SEO—can feel isolating because there's no one to share wins or frustrations with. That lack of daily collaboration makes it challenging to stay motivated and balanced while managing all aspects of the business. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? John Ferguson mentioned that his favorite business book that helped him the most is "Sell Like Crazy" by Sabri Suby. He said it's the best sales book he's ever read, providing powerful insights into marketing, sales psychology, and conversion strategies. The book helped him sharpen his approach to attracting and converting customers, which played a key role in growing Hobart Gutter Guard Co. into a highly profitable business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? John Ferguson recommends listening to SEO and Google Ads podcasts to stay sharp on digital marketing, as these have been key in his business growth. He also listens to the Grow a Small Business Podcast and other interview-style shows to learn from real entrepreneurs' journeys. For learning, he prefers YouTube tutorials and audiobooks over formal courses, as they allow him to study while working or driving. Ferguson believes that consistent self-learning through podcasts and online resources is essential for any small business owner wanting to improve marketing, systems, and overall growth. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? John Ferguson recommends using a CRM and pipeline management tool as the most powerful resource for growing a small business. He believes having an all-in-one platform that combines lead tracking, automation, and communication can completely transform operations. Instead of juggling multiple apps, a single integrated system helps manage customers, streamline workflows, and improve response times, especially for service-based businesses. Ferguson credits this approach for saving him hours of manual work each week and making his business more efficient, scalable, and profitable. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? John Ferguson's advice to his day-one self would be to keep everything simple — from the business model and offer to the systems and operations. He believes simplicity creates clarity, reduces stress, and makes scaling easier. Ferguson explained that many entrepreneurs overcomplicate their processes with unnecessary tools and jargon, which slows growth. His biggest lesson is that a simple, repeatable system and a clear vision are far more powerful than a complex setup, and that focusing on doing the basics exceptionally well is the real key to long-term success.

I'm your host, Josh Hadley, where I interview the top business leaders in ecommerce. Today I'm speaking with Charlie Mckenzie, and we have recorded a live strategy audit session for you today. Charlie, welcome to the podcast. Thank you very much for having me on, Josh. I'm excited to be here. Awesome. At this point with Charlie Charlie's brand, he's got one skew. Well, he's got multiple skews because he's got some size variations in there, but he's got one product that is generating the sales for this brand. One of the first things that we looked at, for your brand, Charlie, was keyword research. And you're doing a great job of implementing the right search terms in your product title. In fact, you're crushing, you know, the competition in terms of the exact match keywords that you've got implemented in your title, and therefore you're actually ranked on the first page for many of those keywords. However, you're not in the top five positions right on most of those keywords.Josh 00:01:05  And so we then went through and discussed. All right. So what are some strategies that we can employ to. You've already got traction. You're obviously indexed for some of these big keywords. How do you move them up into that 1 to 5. You know organic ranking position? One of the things that we talked about was PPC. And Charlie, you know, you've started dipping your toes in the PPC waters. Initially we talked actually a couple of months ago, and you were not running ads on Amazon. And, you know, I told you like, hey, you should definitely start running some ads on Amazon because it is going to impact your organic ranking. You've been dabbling a little bit in that. My recommendation to you from our session was that, you know, create some exact match, keyword campaigns for those keywords that you're trying to rank for number one. But then number two, one of the things that we've found a lot of success with in our business is product targeting ads on Amazon.Josh 00:02:07  And so rather than just throwing it up against because with your particular product, there's there's other competitors that have different design variations, right. And so rather than just saying, hey, mine's beige, I'm going to go advertise on this pink one or this blue one. You the customer that's looking for a pink, product. They have a specific thought in mind. Right. Same thing. If somebody's looking for blue, like there's a reason why they clicked on the blue listing. So when it comes to setting up your product targeting ad campaigns, one of the things I would definitely recommend is only targeting those competitors that have the exact same color that you have, and you're going to get better performance that way. And what Amazon loves to see is if you can steal sales from those competitor listings, you will shoot ahead of them, on the organic ranking side, and that will allow you to increase your ranking a little bit faster there. In addition to that, we talked about some external marketing that you could be using and that is Google Ads.Josh 00:03:11  I know you've tested this in the past, had about a 200% ACOs there, which isn't great, obviously, but we talked about an additional tactic that you could use that could increase that performance because Amazon is definitely rewarding external traffic, right? in my prior one of the prior podcast episodes, we had Tyler Gregg of Amped on the episode, and he shared some fantastic strategies of how to create Google ads and the best way to maximize, you know, the return on investment on those. One of the big takeaways from that episode is that rather than just driving traffic to your current Amazon detail page, it's going to be better to create a store landing page for yourself. But in that store landing page, you recreate almost the exact way that your detail page looks on Amazon, and there's a specific section on the store builder page that allows you to basically recreate that detail page. That's exactly what you're going to want to do. And the beauty of driving that traffic to your store landing page that is literally identical to your detail page, is that you're able to remove all of your competitors because one of the tips, or I guess, one of the statistics that Tyler shared ...

Look, I get it. You've got a modest marketing budget, and every time you hear about Google Ads, you think: "That's for the big players with deep pockets." But here's the thing: paid search can absolutely work for small budgets—you just can't play by the same rules as enterprise brands throwing around unlimited cash. Brooke Osmundson, Director of Growth Marketing at Smith Microsoftware, joined me to break down exactly how small businesses can make paid search work when you're working with $20 to $50 a day (or even less). She's been in the trenches on both the agency and in-house side, managing everything from local clinics to Fortune 100 companies, so she knows what actually works—and what's just burning money. If you've been frustrated by rising costs, spread-thin budgets, or campaigns that seem to eat cash without delivering results, this conversation will change how you think about paid search. No fluff, no impossible tactics—just practical strategies you can use today. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/605 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, it’s almost redundant at this point to say it’s reporting season, but as we hit quarterly ends, yearly ends, things like that, people become reflective and say, “Hey, let’s do some reports.” One of the problems that we see the most with reporting—and I was guilty of this for the majority of my career, particularly the first half—is when you’re not confident about your reporting skills, what do you do? You back the truck up and you pour data all over somebody’s desk and you hope that it overwhelms them so that they don’t ask you any questions, which is the worst possible way to do reporting. So, Katie, as a senior executive, as a leader, when someone delivers reporting to you, what do you get and what do you want to get? Katie Robbert – 00:51 Well, I would start to say reports, like the ones that you were generating, hate to see me coming. Because guess what I do, Chris, I ask a bazillion questions, starting with so what? And I think that’s really the key. As the CEO of Trust Insights, I need a report that tells me exactly what the insights and actions are so that I can do those things. And that is a user story. A user story is a simple three-part sentence: As a Persona, I want so that. If someone is giving me a report and they haven’t asked me for a user story, that’s probably step one. So, Chris, if I say, “All right, if you can pull the monthly metrics, Chris, and put it into a report, I would appreciate it.” Katie Robbert – 01:47 If I haven’t given you a user story, you need to ask me what it is, because that’s the “so what?” Why are we doing this in the first place? We have no shortage of data points. We have no shortage of information about what happened, maybe even why it happened. And that’s a problem because it doesn’t tell a story. What happens is, if you just give me all of that data back, I don’t know what to do with it. And that’s on me, and that’s on you. And so, together, one of us needs to make sure there is a user story. Ideally, I would be providing it, but if I don’t provide it, your first step is to ask for it. That is Step zero. What is the user story? Why am I pulling this report in the first place? Katie Robbert – 02:33 What is it that you, the stakeholder, expect to get out of this report? What is it you need to do with this information? That is Step zero, before you even start looking at data. Christopher S. Penn – 02:44 I love user stories, and I love them, A, for the simplicity, but B, because of that warm and comforting feeling of having covered your ass. Because if I ask you for a user story and you give me one, I build a report for that. Then you come back and say, “But this is this.” Katie Robbert – 03:03 This. Christopher S. Penn – 03:03 I’m like, “You signed off on the user. You gave me the user story, you signed off on the user story. And what you’re asking for is not in the user story.” So I think we need to recalibrate and have you give me maybe some new user stories so you can get what you want. I’m not going to tell you to go F off—not my face. But I’m also going to push back and say, “This wasn’t in the user story.” Because the reason I love user stories is because they’re the simplest but most effective form of requirements gathering. Katie Robbert – 03:36 I would agree with that. When I was a product manager, user stories saved my sanity because my job was to get all of my stakeholders aligned on a single idea. And I’ve told this before, I’d literally go to their office and camp out and get a physical signature on a piece of paper saying, “Yes, this is exactly what you’re agreeing to.” Then, when we would sit in the meeting and the development team or the design team would present the thing, the second somebody would be like, “Well, wait,” I would just hold up the piece of paper and point to their signature. It’s such an effective way to get things done. Katie Robbert – 04:23 Because what happens if you don’t have a user story to start, or any kind of requirements to start, when you’re doing reporting is exactly what you’re talking about. You end up with spreadsheets of data that doesn’t really mean anything. You end up with 60-slide PowerPoint reports with all of these visuals, and every single slide has at least four or five charts on it and some kind of a label. But there’s no story. There’s no, “Why am I looking at this?” When I think about reporting, the very first thing I want to see is—and I would say even go ahead and do this, this is sort of the pro tip— Katie Robbert – 05:00 Whatever the user story was that I gave you, put that right at the top of the report so that when I look at it, I go, “Oh, that’s what I was looking for. Great.” Because chances are, the second you walk away, I’ve already forgotten the conversation—not because it’s not important, but because a million other things have crept up. Now, when you come back to me and say, “This is what I’m delivering,” this is what I need to be reminded of. A lot of stakeholders, people in general, we’re all forgetful. Over-communicate what it is that we’re doing here in the first place. And no one’s going to be mad at that. It’s like, “Oh, now I don’t have to ask questions.” The second thing I look for is sort of that big “So what?” Katie Robbert – 05:45 We call it an executive summary. You can call it the big takeaway, whatever it is. At the very top of the report, I personally look for, “What is the big thing I need to know?” Is everything great? That’s all I need to know. Is everything terrible? I definitely need to know that. Do I need to take six big actions? Great, let me know that. Or, it’s all business as usual. Just give me the 30-second, “Here are the three bullet points that you need to know.” If you have no other time to read this report, that should be the summary at the top. I am going to, even if it’s not right then, dig into the rest of the report. But I may only in that moment be able to look at the summary. Katie Robbert – 06:33 When I see these big slide decks that people present to their executive team or to their board or to whoever they report to, it’s such a missed opportunity to not have the key takeaways right there up front. If you’re asking someone to scroll, scroll, get through it—it’s all the way at the end—they’re not going to do it, and they’re going to start picking apart everything. Even if you’ve done the work to say, “But I already summarized all of that,” it’s not right there in front of them. Do yourself a favor. Whatever it is the person you’re presenting this to needs to know, put it right in front of their face immediately. Christopher S. Penn – 07:13 Back in the day, we came up with a framework called the SAINT framework, which stands for Summary, Analysis, Insights, Next Steps, Timeline. Where I’ve seen that go wrong is people try to do too much in the summary. From Analysis, Insights, Next Steps, and Timelines, there should be one to three bullets from each that become the summary. Katie Robbert – 07:34 And that’s it? Christopher S. Penn – 07:35 Yeah, that’s it. In terms of percentages, what we generally recommend to people is that Analysis should be 10% to 15% of the report. What happened? Data Insights should be 10% to 15% of the report. Why did those things happen? We did this, and this is what happened. Or this external factor occurred, and this has happened. The remaining 50% to 60% of the report should be equally split between Next Steps—what are you going to do about it?—and Timeline—when are you going to do it? Those next steps and timeline become the decisions that you need the stakeholder to make and when they need to do it so that you get done what you need to get done. Christopher S. Penn – 08:23 That’s the part we call the three “What’s”: What happened? So what? Now what? As you progress through any measurement framework, any reporting framework, the more time you spend on “Now what,” the better a stakeholder is likely to like the report. You should absolutely, if the stakeholder wants it, provide the appendix of the data itself if they want to pour through it. But at the highest level, it should be, “Hey Katie, our website traffic was down 15% last month. The reason for it was because it was a shorter month, a lot of holidays. What we need to do is we need to spin up a small paid campaign, $500 for the next month, to boost traffic back to our key pages. I need a decision from you by October 31st. Go, no go.” Christopher S. Penn – 09:18 And that would be the short summary because that fulfills your user story of, “As a CEO, I need to know what’s going on in marketing so that I can forecast and plan for the future.” Katie Robbert – 09:31 Yep. I would say the other thing that people get wrong is trying to do too much in one report. We talk about this when we talk about dashboard development or any kind of storytelling with data. If I give you three user stories, for example, what I don’t want to see is you trying to cram everything into one report to fulfill every single user story. That’s confusing. There is nothing wrong with—because you already have all the data anyway—just giving me three different stories that fulfill the question that I’m asking. You might be like, “Well, I’m only supposed to do one monthly report. Now you’re asking me to do three monthly reports.” No, I’m not. I’m asking you to take a look at the data and answer each individual question, which you should be doing anyway. Katie Robbert – 10:29 This is the thing that drives me nuts: the lack of consistency from top to bottom. If you think of where a report starts and where it ends, I’m the person who looks at the ending and goes back through and says, “Was there a consistent thread? Am I still looking at the same information at the end that I started with at the beginning?” If you’re telling me actions about my email marketing, but you started with data about my web traffic, my eyebrows are up and I’m like, “I don’t get how we got from A to B.” That’s a big thing that I personally look for—that consistent thread throughout the entire report. If you’re giving me data on web traffic, I then expect the next steps to be about web traffic, not about a different channel. Katie Robbert – 11:20 If you have things you need to tell me about the email marketing data, start with that, because I’m going to be looking for, “Why are we talking about email marketing when our social media was where you started?” That drives me nuts to no end because then it actually puts more work on me and you: “Okay, let’s backtrack, let’s do this over again. Let’s figure out the big thing.” What I was always taught as the person executing the reports is: anticipate the questions, get to know your stakeholder. Anyone who works for me knows me, they know I’m going to ask a million questions. So one of the expectations I have of someone doing a task that I’ve delegated is know that I’m going to ask a million questions about it. Katie Robbert – 12:21 I really want you to examine and think through, “What questions would Katie ask? How do I get her off my back? How do I get her to stop being a pain in the butt and ask me a million questions?” And you’re laughing, Chris, but it’s an effective way to think through a full, well-rounded approach to any kind of a deliverable. This is what we talk about when we talk about gathering business requirements. Have you thought of what happens if we don’t do it? Have you thought of the risks? Having that full set of requirements and questions answered saves you so much time in the execution. It’s very much the same thing. Katie Robbert – 13:01 If I’m delivering something to you, Chris, the way that I’m thinking about it is, “What’s the first question Chris is going to ask me about this? Okay, can I answer that? Great. What’s the second question Chris is going to ask me about this?” And I keep going until I’m out of questions. It occurs to me that you can use generative AI to do this exercise. One of the things, Chris, that you teach in prompt engineering is the magic trick is to have the system ask you one question at a time until it has everything it needs. If you have the time and the luxury to build a synthetic version of your stakeholder, you can do that same thing. Katie Robbert – 13:48 Put together your report, give it the user story, and say, “Ask me one question at a time until there are no questions left to ask.” Christopher S. Penn – 13:57 Exactly. And if you want a scratch way to do that, one of the fastest ways is for you to take past emails or past conference call or Zoom meeting transcripts or your stakeholder’s LinkedIn profile, put that all into a single system—a GPT, a GEM, a Claude project, whatever you want to do—and say, “Behave as the stakeholder, understand what’s important to them, and then ask me one question at a time about my report until there are no questions left.” It’s super valuable, very easy way to do it. I want to go back to the thing about dashboarding and reporting because I wanted to show this. For those who are just listening, this is the cockpit of the Airbus A220, which is a popular aircraft. Christopher S. Penn – 14:42 One of the things you’ll notice: at first it looks very overwhelming, but one of the things you’ll notice is that every screen here serves one function. The altitude and course screen on the far left serves just to tell the pilot where they’re going and where the plane is right now. The navigation screen shows you where the plane is and what’s nearby. Even the controls—when you look at the controls, every lever is a different shape so that you can feel what lever your hand is on. A lot of thought has gone into this to put only the essential things that a pilot needs to get their job done. There is nothing extraneous, there is nothing wasted. Christopher S. Penn – 15:30 Because any amount of waste, any amount of confusion in a very high-stakes situation, can literally result in everyone dying. From this, we could take lessons for our reporting to say, “Does this report serve a single user story and does it do that well? Is it focused on that?” Going back to what you’re saying earlier, if there are multiple user stories, there should be multiple reports, because you can’t make everything be everything to everyone. You could not put every function on this plane in one screen. You will die! You’ll fly straight into a mountain because you’re like, “Where’s my position? What’s my GPS? Where’s the nearby? Holy crap.” By the time you figure out what’s on the screen, you’ve run into a mountain. Christopher S. Penn – 16:13 That design lesson—it really is information architecture—and design is the heart and soul of good reporting. Now, here’s the question: Why don’t we teach that? Katie Robbert – 16:27 Well, you and I teach that, but. Christopher S. Penn – 16:29 Well, yes, Trust Insights. I mean, for people who are, when you look at, for example, courses taught in business school, things we’ve both been through, that we’ve both enjoyed the lovely experience of going through a business program, a master’s degree. Katie Robbert – 16:44 Program, our own projects, all the good stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 16:47 Yeah, none of that was ever taught. Katie Robbert – 16:49 I’m speculating, but honestly, what I was about to speculate is contradictory, so that’s not helpful. No, because I was going to say, because it’s taught from the perspective of the user, the person executing it, but that would argue that, okay, that’s what they should be teaching is how to put together that kind of reporting. I actually don’t remember any kind of course or any kind of discussion about putting together some kind of data storytelling, because that’s really what we’re talking about—telling a story with the data. In business school, you get a lot of, “Here are 12 case studies about global companies and why they either succeeded or failed.” But there’s nothing about the day-to-day in terms of how they actually got to where they are. Katie Robbert – 17:54 It’s, “Henry Ford was this guy who made decisions,” or “Here’s how Wells Fargo,” or “Here’s how an international clothing company, Zara, made all their money.” That’s all really helpful to know from a big picture standpoint. I feel like a lot of what’s taught in business school is big picture unless you take stats. But stats also doesn’t teach you how to do data storytelling; it just teaches you how to analyze the data. So I actually think that it’s just a big missing component because we don’t really think about it. We think that, “Oh, it’s just a marketing function.” And even in marketing classes, you don’t really get to the data storytelling part. You get to more case studies on Facebook or “Here’s how to set up something in Google Ads.” Katie Robbert – 18:46 But then it doesn’t really tell you what to do with the data afterwards. So it’s a huge missed opportunity. I think it’s just not taught in general. I could be mistaken. It’s been a hot second since I was in business school, but my assumption is that it’s not seen as an essential part of the degree. And yet, when you get into the real world, if you can’t tell a story with the data, then you’re at a disadvantage. If you’re asking me personally as a CEO, I am open to thoughts, I’m open to ideas, I’m open to opinions. I am not open to you winging it. I’m not open to vibes. I’m not open to, “Let me just experiment in a production environment.” I’m not open to any of that. Katie Robbert – 19:36 I am open to something where you’ve done the research and you said, “I had this thought, here’s the data that backs it up, and here’s the plan moving forward.” You can use the SAINT framework for a proposal for a new idea. You can use a SAINT framework for a business plan or a business case to say, “I think we should do something different.” I’m always going to look for the data that supports your opinions. Christopher S. Penn – 20:05 Reporting is kind of a horizontal function in that it spans every department. Finance has to do reporting, and sometimes they have regulatory reasons that reporting must be in this format to be compliant with the law. HR, sales, operations—everybody has reporting. I think it’s one of those cases, like the tragedy of the commons. I don’t know if that’s the right analogy or not, but because everybody has to do it, nobody teaches it. Everybody assumes, “Oh well, that’s somebody else’s job to do that.” As a result, you end up with hot salad when it comes to the quality of reports you get. Christopher S. Penn – 20:45 When we worked at the PR agency together, the teams would put together 84-page slide decks of “Here’s what we did,” and it was never connected to results; it was never connected to stakeholders’ user stories. To your point, the simplest thing that you could do as a business professional today is to take that user story from your stakeholder and put it into generative AI with your raw data. Use Google Colab—that would be a great choice—and say, “Here’s my stakeholder’s user story of all this data. Help me understand what data is directly connected to my user story, what data is not, what data is missing that I should have, and what data is unnecessary that I can just ignore.” Christopher S. Penn – 21:34 Then, help me plan out a dashboard of the top three things that I need my stakeholder to pay attention to. That’s where you use SAINT, putting the SAINT framework as a literal knowledge block that you drop right into the chat and say, “Help me write a SAINT framework report based on this data and my user’s user story.” I guarantee if you do that, you will take your stakeholder from mildly happy to deliriously happy in one report because they’ll look at it and go, “You understand what I need to do my job.” Katie Robbert – 22:12 I would say you don’t even have to use Google Colab for something like that, especially if you’re not even really sure where to start. Chris, you’re talking about a thorough understanding of what all of the data means. If you want to even take a step back and say, “This is my stakeholder’s user story. These are the platforms that I have to work with. Can I satisfy this user story with the data that I think I have access to? What should I use? What metrics would answer this question? What am I missing?” You can do the same exercise but just keep it a little bit more high level and be like, “I have Google Analytics 4, I have HubSpot, I have Mautic. Can I answer the question being asked?” And the answer might be no. Katie Robbert – 23:03 If the generative AI says no, you can’t answer the question being asked, make sure it tells you what you need to answer that question so that you can go back to your stakeholder. Be like, “This was your user story. This is what you wanted to know. I don’t have that information. Can you get it for me? Can you help me get it? What do we need to do? Or can you adjust your expectations?” Which is probably not the way to say it to a stakeholder because they never really enjoy that. We always like to think that we know best and we know everything and that we’re never wrong, which is true 99% of the time. Christopher S. Penn – 23:41 So, to recap, use user stories, please, to get validation of your reporting requirements first. Then use any good data storytelling framework, including the SAINT framework, including the 5 Ps—use whatever you’ve got for frameworks—and use generative AI as a thought partner to say, “Can I understand what’s good, what’s bad, what’s missing, and what’s unnecessary from my data to tell the story to my stakeholder?” If you got some thoughts about how you do reporting or how you could be doing reporting better, pop by our free Slack Group.

If you've ever felt unsure about what SEO really is — or why your website isn't getting the traffic or clients you expected — this episode is for you.  Daniel pulls back the curtain on the most common misunderstandings therapists have about SEO and shares what's actually working in today's digital landscape. This episode was born out of behind-the-scenes conversations with our Lead SEO Specialist — and the real, recurring questions and roadblocks we see come up with our clients.  Whether it's confusion about how SEO works, frustration over slow results, or the instinct to write your website like a clinical bio, we get it.  We've been there with so many therapists, and we wanted to create an episode that clears the air and sets the record straight.  In this conversation, Daniel unpacks the top things we wish every therapist understood about SEO — so you can stop second-guessing the process and start seeing how strategy, clarity, and patience lead to real growth. The Key Takeaways: Therapists fall under the YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) category, which means Google holds your website to a higher standard. Building E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) is crucial. Your homepage — especially the hero section — should speak directly to your ideal client, not just talk about your practice or credentials. Clinical language often creates distance, unless your audience specifically needs that. Everyday, emotionally resonant language is far more effective. Clients are looking for connection and relief, not a resume. Show them you understand their pain and can help them feel better. Effective SEO isn't a guessing game — it's built on strategy, structure, and research. Following a defined plan gets results. SEO is not the same as running Google Ads. It's a long game, and results build over time — not overnight. Your site might include copy that doesn't sound exactly like you — and that's okay. We're balancing voice with visibility. Nothing in our SEO work is arbitrary. Every tweak and piece of content is intentional and goal-driven. Before you can convert visitors to clients, you have to show up in search results. Visibility comes first. Think of SEO as a marathon, not a sprint. Momentum builds with consistency and time. With the rise of AI and changing search behaviors, SEO today is more like search engineering — blending human psychology and technical strategy. Links mentioned in this episode: 176.

The B2B marketing playbook is changing faster than most businesses realise.SEO still works. Google Ads still deliver. Email campaigns still convert. But if your entire strategy relies on prospects finding you through traditional Google searches, you're missing a massive shift in buyer behaviour.Your buyers are researching differently. They're having longer, more detailed conversations before they ever visit your website. They're building shortlists from sources you might not even be tracking. And if your brand isn't visible in these new research channels, you're losing deals before you know they exist.In this episode, I'm breaking down three B2B marketing strategies that are working right now for our clients:Why digital PR isn't just for sexy consumer brands. I'll show you how we got an insulation and ventilation company featured across dozens of industry publications by turning new legislation into newsworthy content. Even "boring" B2B businesses can leverage digital PR effectively.How to win when nobody's searching for your solution. When only 20 people per month google your product category, keyword-focused SEO won't cut it. I'll walk through how we drove 361% traffic growth and 11% conversion rates for a takeaway packaging company by targeting problems, not keywords.Why most B2B websites are conversion killers and what to do about it. Jargon-heavy copy, unclear positioning, blocky layouts with zero personality. We redesigned one client's site with B2C principles in mind and generated 51 highly qualified leads in four months. I'll show you exactly what changed.I'll also share data that reveals something surprising: when buyers research solutions in 2026, the brands that get recommended aren't always the ones with the best SEO. Third-party visibility matters more than ever.The fundamentals haven't disappeared. Long sales cycles, multiple decision-makers, and proven channels still define B2B marketing. However, the businesses dominating in 2026 are the ones adding new layers to their strategy, whilst their competitors stick with what worked in 2023.This episode provides the complete roadmap for future-proofing your B2B marketing before your competitors catch on.Enjoy these episodes next:Why “AI Search is Just SEO” is a Dangerous Liehttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/364/The BEST SEO Strategies for 2026https://exposureninja.com/podcast/368/The BEST Digital Marketing Strategies for 2026https://exposureninja.com/podcast/369/

Send us a textIn this episode of Marketing Espresso, I sit down again with Stewart Webb from Search Rescue to talk about one of my favourite topics - diversifying your marketing. If you've been relying on one channel or approach to reach your audience, this episode is your wake-up call to rethink your strategy.Stewart brings his years of experience in digital advertising to the conversation, explaining how businesses can effectively mix platforms like Meta, Google, TikTok and even emerging options like Spotify. We explore how different platforms serve different purposes - why Meta relies on emotion and visual storytelling, while Google connects you with people actively searching for your service or product.We also discuss the common myths around “hacking the algorithm” and why chasing virality isn't a strategy. Stuart breaks down what makes great advertising copy and how to connect with audiences who are tired of being sold to. We also tackle the often-overlooked balance between paid and organic marketing, and how they can complement each other when done strategically.One of my favourite moments in this chat was when Stewart described advertising as moving from a “shotgun” to a “sniper” approach - being more intentional, precise and data-driven. He also shares what a realistic starting budget for ads looks like, and how businesses can test without overcommitting.If you've ever wondered how much to spend, where to spend it, and how to make your message stand out, this episode is packed with practical insight and straight-talking advice.Key takeaways: Diversifying your marketing mix isn't just smart - it's essential for long-term stability and growth. By using multiple channels, you reach people in different ways and reduce the risk of relying too heavily on one platform.Action steps: Take a look at where your audience is spending time and how they consume information. Then, map out a few new platforms to experiment with - whether that's running a simple retargeting campaign, refreshing your Google Ads strategy, or creating engaging video content that connects emotionally.Your marketing should evolve as quickly as your audience does. Start small, stay curious, and keep testing what works.Links:Connect with StewartSearch Rescue DOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

Mastering B2B Lead Generation in the Age of AI: Expert Insights from Bill RiceIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Bill Rice, founder of Bill Rice Strategy Group and Kaleidico. Bill shares his expertise in B2B marketing, lead generation, and the evolving role of AI in shaping how businesses attract and convert clients. Drawing from decades of experience in fintech, mortgage lending, and legal industries, Bill offers actionable insights for executives and agencies looking to thrive in a rapidly changing digital landscape.The New Rules of B2B Lead GenerationBill explains that B2B marketing has evolved beyond traditional methods like cold outreach and Google Ads. Today's success depends on creating digital surface area—the online footprint of content, profiles, and engagement that helps AI and algorithms recognize your expertise. He emphasizes that consistent, clear messaging across blogs, websites, and social platforms allows both search engines and large language models (like ChatGPT) to identify and recommend your brand as an authority.A key part of Bill's strategy is leveraging LinkedIn for executive visibility. He encourages business leaders to post regularly, engage thoughtfully, and use the platform as a stage for thought leadership. Sharing authentic stories, insights, and industry perspectives humanizes your brand while establishing credibility. This kind of visibility not only attracts potential clients but also builds trust and familiarity long before the sales conversation begins.Bill also discusses how AI and large language models are reshaping the buyer's journey. AI-driven referrals are becoming more influential than traditional SEO, as they provide context-aware recommendations tailored to user needs. He advises business owners to ensure their digital content is well-structured, easy to interpret, and consistently reinforces their niche expertise. By combining thoughtful content creation, AI awareness, and genuine personal branding, companies can build scalable, first-party lead generation systems that produce sustainable results.About Bill RiceBill Rice is the Founder of Bill Rice Strategy Group and Kaleidico, two leading agencies specializing in B2B marketing and lead generation.
