And I think that's very much the way that we think about accelerating brands is just isolating those specific variables of the equation and really going to work on okay for traffic, for example, there's paid traffic. There's, you know, organic traffic, there's off platform traffic. And what are all the hundreds of different kind of atomic levers that we want to pull and automate increasingly via AI for the brands that we represent.

Welcome to another insightful episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan is joined by returning guest Noel Andrews, the founder of JobRack, to explore a dynamic trend that's reshaping the way agencies build and cultivate their teams. Together, they dive into the growing movement of hiring full-time international team members from regions like Eastern Europe and South Africa—and the significant impact this is having on agency culture, client results, and operational efficiency. Noel Andrews lends his expertise as an offshore hiring specialist, clarifying common misconceptions about international talent and revealing why more agencies are opting for highly skilled, long-term team members abroad instead of just local hires or gig-based freelancers. He shares firsthand accounts from agency leaders who have been pleasantly surprised by both the technical expertise and the positive, collaborative attitudes these global professionals bring to the table. The discussion expands into how international team members can raise the bar for everyone, shifting mindsets and work habits for the better company-wide. The conversation doesn't stop at hiring practices. Drew McLellan and Noel Andrews unpack actionable strategies for fostering strong agency culture, even within remote and hybrid setups. From the value of clear communication and setting high standards to intentionally building connections among geographically dispersed teammates, you'll get practical tips for making everyone feel like a real part of the team—no matter where they're located. They also dig into how AI and automation are influencing agency roles, why clarity is more crucial than ever, and how proactive leadership can remove day-to-day roadblocks so every team member can operate at their best.   Whether you're considering expanding your team internationally or simply looking to boost engagement and performance within your distributed agency, this episode is packed with real-world advice and inspiration. Tune in to discover how making small, intentional tweaks—rooted in clarity, culture, and high expectations—can set your agency up for a standout year ahead.   A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

If smarter marketing really worked the way the tools promise, we would all be done by lunch. Instead, most days feel like standing in the cereal aisle staring at fifty boxes that all swear they are the healthiest choice. That is why I sat down with Lisa Raehsler to talk about what to skip when everyone is promising smarter marketing. Lisa is a PPC strategist with more than twenty years in the trenches and the founder of Big Click Co. She spends her days helping businesses sort out what actually works from what just looks shiny. Why this matters Paid ads are not plug and play. Between Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and the parade of AI tools promising instant results, it is easy to feel behind before you even start. Lisa reminded me that the problem is not a lack of tools. It is too many tools pretending they know your business better than you do. Key takeaways from our conversation Skip the “easy button” marketing. Every platform now offers a button that says “generate headlines” or “create images.” Lisa's advice was simple. Use those ideas as a starting point, then step away. The platforms do not know your goals, your customers, or what makes you different. If you use what they hand you, you will look like everyone else. Start with your basics, not the platform. Before worrying about ad sizes or image specs, get clear on what you are selling, who it is for, and why it matters. Once that foundation is solid, you can adapt the message to fit how people behave on each platform without losing your brand voice. Real beats perfect every time. AI images and stock photos can feel polished, but they often trigger that subtle “something is off” reaction. Lisa shared that real photos from your business, even lightly enhanced, build more trust than flawless AI faces that look like they belong on a romance novel cover

In this episode, I talk about how Amazon sellers can go beyond just looking at sales and start using PPC and search query data to understand their true market share. I show how you can track changes in search volume, impressions, clicks, conversions, and your share of purchases to see if your ads are actually helping you grow compared to the rest of the market. By grounding your PPC data with market insights, you can make smarter decisions, adjust campaigns when needed, and stay ahead of competitors.We'll see you in The PPC Den!

Not getting the results you used to from your paid search? In this episode of the DMI podcast, host Will Francis speaks with PPC specialist Cathal Melinn about the current state and future of pay-per-click advertising. With rising costs, AI-driven automation, and new campaign types like Demand Gen reshaping advertising, Cathal shares what's actually delivering results right now, and what marketers should approach with caution. They explore why PPC is still profitable (but less forgiving than before), how AI Max for Search differs from Performance Max, and why mid-funnel campaigns are becoming essential. Cathal also explains how to structure campaigns strategically, manage budgets effectively, and avoid over-relying on automation. Cathal's top 3 tips Separate brand and non-brand campaigns: Run a dedicated brand campaign on exact match to protect your name and control impression share.Start small and structured: Begin with 10–15 carefully chosen exact match keywords and grow strategically. Don't ignore the mid-funnel: Demand Gen campaigns can feed your search performance and deliver measurable returns faster than traditional top-of-funnel activity. The Ahead of the Game podcast is brought to you by the Digital Marketing Institute and is available on ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube,  Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠all other podcast platforms.   And if you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review so others can find us.

Are your Amazon ads “broken” or is it something else? In this episode, we share a simple audit that reveals what's really killing performance and the first fix that usually changes everything. Most sellers assume Amazon PPC is the problem when the real bottleneck is often the offer. In this episode, Carrie Miller and Destaney Wishon walk through a quick, repeatable way to diagnose what's actually holding growth back: bids, campaign structure, or your product detail page. The goal isn't “optimize everything.” It's to identify the one thing that's breaking performance and fix that first.   Destaney starts with Amazon Advertising's Brand Metrics Dashboard to compare your conversion rate and traffic vs your category. If your conversion rate is below the category median, PPC can drive clicks all day and still struggle—because you're paying for traffic your listing can't convert. She explains how category selection matters (sometimes you need to go broader to get better benchmarks) and why seasonality and market share shifts can fool you if you only look at your own numbers.   From there, the audit shifts into Amazon PPC fundamentals: avoid messy structures like mixed match types without a harvesting system, duplicative campaigns, and multiple ad groups that wreck budget control. The recommended approach is to use one campaign, one ad group, organized by strategy (traffic/rank vs. efficiency/profit). Then bid optimization becomes simpler: focus on the highest-spend targets first, make changes using the right attribution window (not hour-by-hour panic), and allocate budget intelligently—Sponsored Products as the core spend, with Sponsored Brands kept within a reasonable performance range. Stop guessing and start auditing. Hit play, run the same checklist on your account, and you'll know exactly what to fix first so your next Amazon PPC change actually moves the needle.   In episode 497 of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie and Destaney discuss: 00:00  – Introduction 01:00 – Are Your Amazon Ads Broken (Or Is It The Wrong Fix?) 02:21 – Start Here: Amazon Advertising Brand Metrics Dashboard 03:00 – PPC Only Works If Your Listing Converts 04:04 – Conversion Rate vs Category Median 05:22 – Traffic Opportunity: Detail Page Views vs Category 08:36 – Category Median vs Category Top 10:37 – Red Flag: Mixed Match Types Without Keyword Harvesting 13:28 – Structure Fix: One Campaign, One Ad Group  14:52 – Bid Optimization: The 80/20 Method 25:22 – How Often To Adjust Your Amazon PPC  28:17 – Budget Split: Sponsored Products vs Sponsored Brands 32:01 – Branded vs Non-Branded Budget

Send a textThe fastest way to stall growth is to chase near-term numbers while ignoring the systems that create momentum. We sit down with Kurt Uhlir—CMO, growth operator, and “King of Scaling”—to unpack how teams compound results by aligning time horizons, transforming decision-making with AI, and replacing authority-driven compliance with servant leadership commitment.We start by reframing executive focus: separate conversations into 2–12, 12–36, and 36+ month horizons, protect leading indicators, and let strategies mature long enough to prove or disprove hypotheses. From there, Kurt breaks down how AI either erodes trust through low-quality, high-volume content or strengthens it through deep edits, rigorous repurposing, and message consistency across TikTok, YouTube, articles, and newsletters. He explains why the winning move is pairing elite human editors with AI to deliver clarity, accuracy, and credibility at scale.Kurt shares a playbook for using AI as a thinking partner: simulate buyer personas, surface objections from forums in real time, pressure test strategies before launch, and compress the draft-to-feedback loop from weeks to hours. That shift empowers teams to explore “what if” scenarios without committees and helps leaders challenge their own instincts with data-backed insight. We also dive into culture: why AI “fails” when leaders can't define what success looks like, how psychological safety unlocks iteration, and where mid-level resistance shows up first.Expect five blunt go-to-market red flags—attribution over contribution, PPC overload, product-marketing drift, boardroom-first systems, and single-playbook thinking—plus a practical path to contribution-based decisioning. We close on servant leadership as an operating system: define outcomes, remove friction, and resource the work so accountability rises and execution speeds up. Finally, we look ahead to search everywhere optimization, meeting buyers across Google, TikTok, YouTube, podcasts, and AI answers with a unified narrative that builds trust, not just visibility.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a teammate who obsesses over attribution, and leave a quick review telling us your biggest blind spot you're ready to challenge.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on January 13, 2026.

B2B sa mení rýchlejšie, než si mnohé firmy chcú priznať. Dopyty miznú, PPC už nestačí a čakanie na leady je luxus, ktorý si nemôžete dovoliť. Naozaj chcete byť rybár, ktorý sedí pri vode, alebo lovec, ktorý si vyberá konkrétne firmy a ide po nich systematicky? Hovoríme o account based marketingu, o tom, prečo lajky nič neznamenajú, ak medzi nimi nie je váš „medveď“, aj o tom, prečo jeden drahý marketér bez rozpočtu firmu nespasí. Ak máte pocit, že robíte marketing, ale biznis nerastie, toto vás môže nepríjemne prebrať. A možno vám to otvorí oči viac, než čakáte. Viac informácií nám poskytol Zdeno Konečný, CEO Krejta

In this Conversion Monthly episode, the team takes on a real-world Amazon fashion listing -- a ladies jumper from Adam Jagger's clothing brand. Adam launched this knitwear product last year with strong initial sales, but the relaunch has stalled despite refreshed images and PPC data. Matt Kostan shares consumer feedback from Product Opinion videos revealing that shoppers found the secondary images too text-heavy and "fast fashion" looking, with inconsistent color rendering across photos. Dorian then presents a complete visual overhaul inspired by Zara's photography style -- low-angle shots, model-camera interaction, and stripped-back secondary images that let the product speak for itself. The result: a 45% improvement in click share during simulated testing, jumping from 11% to 16% against competitors. The episode is packed with actionable advice on fashion-specific listing optimization, the power of "less is more" in secondary images, and why pre-launch polling is essential in design-led categories. Key Topics Live listing teardown -- Adam Jagger's ladies jumper analyzed by the full Conversion Monthly panel Consumer video feedback -- What real shoppers said about the listing (color inconsistency, text-heavy images, fast fashion feel) Main image testing -- Baseline vs. Zara-inspired low-angle photography concepts Secondary image overhaul -- Stripping back text and adopting a premium, warm aesthetic Pre-launch polling -- Why design-led fashion products should be tested before manufacturing Selling through the female lens -- Understanding emotional and aspirational buying in women's fashion Timestamps [00:00] Introduction and welcome to Adam Jagger [01:24] Adam explains the product -- ladies jumper relaunch that stalled [02:28] Category rules -- how much creative freedom do clothing listings have? [03:45] Matt shares Product Opinion video feedback from real shoppers [07:25] Dorian's approach -- studying Zara and H&M for photography inspiration [10:30] The "less is more" philosophy for fashion secondary images [14:02] Matt reveals test results -- 11% to 16% click share improvement [19:22] Sim's take on AI-generated images and warmth in the image stack [20:39] AI-generated video concepts for sponsored brand ads [22:50] Adam's reaction and takeaways [26:17] Danny's deep dive -- cognitive overload, decision paralysis, and the female lens [37:31] Adam's final thoughts and next steps [38:30] Sim on pre-launch polling for design-led niches [40:47] Final roundup and upcoming Seller Sessions event announcement Key Takeaways Strip back your fashion images -- Text-heavy, icon-filled secondary images can make clothing look like fast fashion. Clean, warm, product-focused images convert better. Study leading brands for photography direction -- Dorian reverse-engineered Zara's low-angle, model-interaction photography style and applied it to the Amazon listing with a 45% click share improvement. Consumer video feedback reveals what data cannot -- Ten 4-minute shopper videos uncovered issues like inconsistent pink shading across images that no one on the team had noticed. Pricing inconsistency kills trust -- Having one color variation priced higher than others confused shoppers and reduced confidence in the listing. Poll before you launch in fashion -- For design-led categories, spending $100 on pre-launch testing can steer you away from a bad product or nail the positioning first time. Sell the transformation, not the features -- Women's fashion is an emotional, aspirational purchase. The listing should make the shopper feel "this could be me" rather than listing fabric specs. Beware of over-optimizing click-through rate -- Pushing CTR too hard can lead to image fatigue and diminishing returns. Balance scroll-stopping visuals with long-term brand consistency.

Welcome to another impactful episode of Build a Better Agency!

Drew McLellan and Cade Dannels break down how agencies can move beyond basic content generation and leverage AI for operational excellence, lead generation, and creating scalable efficiencies that truly impact the bottom line. Cade Dannels shares his journey from automation enthusiast to agency consultant and reveals the untapped goldmine lurking in most agencies: mountains of unstructured data, from transcripts to emails to proposals.

The episode also covers step-by-step DIY approaches agencies can start today—no massive tech team or budget required. Together, Drew McLellan and Cade Dannels unpack the real-world process of using AI for smarter lead qualification, nurturing, and personalized outreach—without losing that human touch. They address common concerns about errors, model selection, and how to experiment meaningfully as you climb the AI learning curve. You'll also hear creative ways to motivate team engagement and discover actionable prompts and experiments you can implement immediately.   Don't miss this episode if you're ready to stop dabbling in AI and start harnessing its full agency-transforming power.

Episode Overview In this final installment of the Conquer the Operational Chaos series, John Kitchens and Joel Perso break down one of the most overlooked — yet most powerful — CEO disciplines: knowing your numbers. Growth without visibility creates chaos. More agents, more leads, more deals — without proper tracking — only amplifies inefficiencies. In this session, John and Joel unpack how to measure what actually matters, how to assign the right metrics to each role, and how to move from emotional decision-making to data-driven leadership. If you've ever wondered why your P&L says you're profitable but your bank account feels tight… or why your team feels busy but results are inconsistent… this episode will reset how you think about performance. Because if you don't know your numbers, you don't know your business. Key Topics Covered The Final Piece of Operational Clarity Recap of the Conquer the Operational Chaos framework: Week 1: The Operational Hire Week 2: Building Processes Week 3: Core Buyer & Listing Systems Week 4: Measuring What Matters Why growth without tracking leads to internal breakdown How knowing your numbers protects profitability and performance What "Know Your Numbers" Really Means The difference between tracking data and making decisions Why metrics exist to improve leadership — not to create busywork The CEO mindset shift from guessing to measuring The Financial Foundations Every CEO Must Understand Profit & Loss (P&L): Revenue, expenses, and true profitability Balance Sheet: Assets, liabilities, and owner equity Cash Flow: Why profit and cash are not the same Budget vs. Actual: Where silent leaks in your business happen Assigning Metrics to Every Role Every role in your business must have at least one key metric. Why? People want to know what winning looks like Clear agreements eliminate emotional performance conversations Numbers create accountability without friction Metrics vs. Targets (The Critical Distinction) Tracking a number isn't enough. You must define: What is success? What is the agreed target? What happens when we miss? Agreements replace expectations. Expectations create frustration. Agreements create alignment. Leading Indicators vs. Lagging Indicators Lagging indicators: Closings, GCI, volume Leading indicators: Conversations, appointments set, follow-up activity You can't control closings. You can control conversations. John's breakdown: Conversations → Appointments Set → Appointments Met → Agreements Signed → Closings Reverse engineer your goals down to conversations per hour. The Conversations Per Hour Framework This was one of the most tactical moments of the episode. Instead of asking: "How many conversations per day?" Ask: "How many conversations per hour?" Then reverse engineer: How many conversations does it take to set one appointment? How many appointments does it take to sign a client? How many signed clients does it take to close one deal? How many hours per week must be dedicated to outbound activity? When you know this math, success becomes predictable — not accidental. The "Protein, Carbs, and Fats" Principle Borrowed from Blake Sloan: Protein = Conversations Carbs = Appointment Asks Fats = Face-to-Face Meetings You can hit your main metric and still fail if supporting metrics are ignored. One metric matters. But supporting behaviors matter too. Where to Start Don't try to fix everything. Focus on one priority per quarter. If you're spending significant money in one area (Zillow, PPC, mailers, client events), optimize that first. Clarity compounds. Chaos compounds faster. Resources Mentioned Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits – Greg Crabtree Financial Intelligence – Karen Berman & Joe Knight Measure What Matters – John Doerr CSU Dashboard / CTE Business Tracking The Growth Centric – Systems Audit with Joel Perso John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway There are two major breakdowns in most small businesses: They don't know their financial numbers. They don't know how they're allocating their time. If you know your money and you know your time, you control your growth. If you don't — you're guessing. As Joel put it: "If you don't know your numbers, you don't know your business." And as John reinforced: "It's not conversations per day. It's conversations per hour." Measure what matters. Build agreements. Track leading indicators. Execute with clarity. That's how CEOs eliminate chaos.

Some operators swear PPC is dead. Others are spending six figures a month and winning.

UCP (Universal Context Protocol) is a new infrastructure layer aiming to standardize “agentic commerce.” It breaks ecommerce into modular capabilities (“Lego bricks”) so AI agents can negotiate tasks like product discovery, checkout, and payments across platforms.This has become an infrastructure war: Google is pushing UCP as an open-source standard versus OpenAI's ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) and Anthropic's MCP (Model Context Protocol). Big retailers such as Walmart and Zalando are already experimenting with UCP right now.In this episode of Growing Ecommerce, Mike Ryan and Christian Scharmüller unpack what “Agentic Commerce” means as AI shifts from generating text to taking actions in online shops—and what that implies for your data feed strategy.In this episode, we cover:• The Rise of UCP: how agents “negotiate” capabilities like discovery and checkout—similar to early standards wars (e.g., electricity).• Adoption Reality Check: will consumers let AI buy their sneakers? Mike forecasts ~10% of UCP-based transactions within 2 years; Chris estimates ~5%.• The Protocol War: how partnerships with giants (Walmart, Zalando) help Google try to win the standard.• New Merchant Responsibilities: to reduce hallucinations, Google plans 10–12 new feeds/attributes, pushing more structured-data work back to retailers.About the hosts:Mike Ryan (Austria; originally Boston) is Head of Ecommerce Insights at Smarter Ecommerce (smec), with 10+ years in retail and PPC.Christian Scharmüller is CCO & Managing Director at smec, a long-time PPC/ecommerce leader and frequent speaker (e.g., SMX, OMR).Smarter Ecommerce (smec) helps e-commerce brands optimize PPC with AI-driven automation focused on profit and business outcomes, leveraging first-party data like margins and LTV.Follow smec for more performance marketing insights:LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/smarter-ecommerce-gmbhSubscribe for more actionable eCommerce insights!#eCommerce #GoogleAds #UCP #AgenticCommerce #AI #DigitalMarketing #RetailTrends #GoogleMerchantCentersmec is a Google Premier Partner and three-time Microsoft Retail Partner of the Year, managing €500M+ in ad spend and driving €5B+ in annual e-commerce revenue across 350+ global retail clients (incl.

Welcome to a powerful solo episode of Build a Better Agency! In this installment, host Drew McLellan takes a deep dive into one of the most urgent and consequential topics facing agencies today: the vital importance of ongoing professional development. Drawing from decades of experience and the latest industry data, Drew McLellan lays out a compelling case for why investing in your team's growth is no longer a "nice to have"—it's a must-have for agency survival in the coming years. Throughout the episode, Drew McLellan connects the dots between employee retention, profitability, and developing future-ready skills, emphasizing how the talent landscape is shifting faster than ever before. With alarming stats showing that over 90% of employees would stay longer with employers who invest in their career development, he argues that the biggest threat to agencies isn't just AI or industry consolidation—it's failing to keep your people learning, engaged, and prepared for new demands. Listeners will walk away with concrete strategies for building a culture of learning within their agencies. Drew McLellan shares actionable steps: from creating a realistic professional development budget, conducting a skills gap assessment, and designing meaningful learning experiences, to the critical role of leadership in modeling a learning mindset. He also addresses common objections, like the fear that trained employees might leave, and flips the paradigm—demonstrating that investing in growth is actually the best insurance against turnover and burnout. If you want to protect your margins, retain your best talent, and lead a team that can outpace industry change, this episode is essential listening.

Dans cet épisode de Connected Mate, PPC reçoit Eric Briones, directeur général du Journal du Luxe et cofondateur de la Paris School of Luxury, pour explorer un sujet brûlant : le rapport ambivalent du luxe à l'intelligence artificielle.LVMH ne teste plus, ils industrialisent à grande échelle : 40 000 utilisateurs mensuels, 1,5 million de requêtes IA, 75 maisons connectées.

In this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, host Galen Hair sits down with Dennis "DM" Meador, owner of the Legal Podcast Network, to break down how professionals—especially attorneys—can escape commoditization, build real authority, and attract better clients through strategic podcasting. With decades of experience in legal marketing and positioning, DM explains why many professionals struggle with being reduced to price comparisons and how authority-based content shifts conversations from "How much do you charge?" to "How do I work with you?" He shares why podcasting is one of the most powerful evergreen marketing tools available, how it outperforms short-term ad spend, and what it takes to create content that drives trust and long-term results. Highlights: Dennis Meador's entrepreneurial journey and marketing background Why attorneys and professionals are being commoditized The real reason prospects ask "how much" first Authority positioning vs. PPC and paid lead generation What an "authority podcast" actually is How podcasting builds trust before the first call Evergreen marketing vs. disposable ad spend Making podcasting simple, scalable, and sustainable Production value, storytelling, and entertainment in modern content  Episode Resources: Connect with Dennis "DM" Meador https://www.thelegalpodcastnetwork.com/about Connect with Galen M.

This episode is really about one thing: deciding when “no sales yet” actually means something. Because in real accounts, non-converting spend isn't some small inefficiency. It's often 30 percent of spend. Sometimes it's 50. I've seen it hit 80 percent. Ten thousand dollars in ad spend, eight thousand going to search terms that never convert.What changes the way you look at this is separating converting behavior from non-converting behavior. If you include all the wasted spend in your averages, you end up judging new keywords against a broken baseline. Instead, you want to look at what your converting traffic normally does and use that as your benchmark.Another big takeaway is that not all keywords deserve the same level of patience. Branded terms might convert every couple of clicks. Competitor terms might need fifty clicks before you see a sale. If you use one rule across the board, you'll end up killing keywords that were slow, not bad.We'll see you in The PPC Den!

In this episode, Chris Lee sits down with David Royce — founder and former chairman of Aptive — to break down how a $500M+ pest control business was built (and scaled) through door-to-door, culture, and a recruiting system that translates to any home service company.If you're in HVAC, plumbing, roofing, solar, or electrical, this isn't a “pest control story” — it's a blueprint for raising your growth ceiling by building a team that can win year-round (including shoulder season).You'll hear why door-to-door puts you back in control when demand drops, how to make the shift from technician to manager to true scaler, and how the best companies turn “secret sauce” into systems, training, and repeatable process. David also breaks down what he means by “obsession,” why it shows up in every high performer, and how Aptive created real buy-in with a 25% employee equity pool that produced life-changing payouts for key people.If you want to stop relying on luck, seasonality, and “hoping the phone rings,” this conversation will change how you think about growth.Connect with David Royce: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-royce-22539425/CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA!TEXT ME: 509-905-4109INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chrisleeqb/?hl=enFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/chrisleeqb/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@chrisleeqbSPONSORSPartner Spotlight: 1SEO Digital Agency: At Next Level Pros, we teach you the best ways HOW to market your business.
