Most marketing teams think they know their competition—but the truth is, they’re usually guessing. And that guesswork is costing them growth... using a smart tool like Sparktoro is the key. www.bartoliconsulting.com/join-the-wai...
I was on Linkedin for 5 min and got hit with a barrage of "SEO is dead" and "It's all about GEO now" OMG - so many have lots to learn - yes it is ongoing and long-term has been for the 21 years I've been involved in search.

Using the house metaphor - build your house on a strong foundation, without it, no amount of design or tech will make it strong or useful..
No amount of technical work is going to make a website useful if none of the content is useful. #seo #nextjs #aeo

1/3 When pressure mounts, CMOs often default to: “Let’s bring in an agency.”
Agencies do add speed + expertise. But here’s the truth—if your in-house team lacks alignment + strategy, no outside partner can fix that.

What’s one way you’ve used AI to simplify a task?

I'll go first, I built an AI agent to assist my analytics team to organize the performance for my client's executive dashboards.

Leveraged to assist human team to improve productivity, not to replace. 1/2

This is where most teams go wrong: Treating competitor research as a reactive task. They see a campaign or ad and scramble to copy it. That’s NOT strategy—that’s playing catch-up
Is your team reactive? This is where most teams go wrong: they treat competitor research as a reactive task.

I think it does still depend on search intent, query type, etc - that AND its still so early! Good to keep an eye on this of course!
Survey says only 4% of searchers don't click from Google AI Overviews www.seroundtable.com/google-ai-ov...

Last week I posted a recent Pew Report (on LI) - sparked a lot of discussion but do keep in mind, its still very early - time will tell what becomes of this

The best lesson in marketing: Promising specific results without prior data is risky. While in Torino with Fiat, they hadn’t tracked anything before, making it impossible to establish a baseline. #marketingtips #digitalstrategy - I've got a free training for ya - join me! bit.ly/3IZRuAh

Why your CEO doesn't understand your marketing metrics (and how to fix it):
Your CEO thinks about revenue, P&L, EBITDA. Your CFO thinks the same way.
What they DON'T get? How marketing actually drives those numbers.
Most still think marketing = "brand awareness" or expensive trade show booths

1/3 My biggest mistake as an in-house marketer: Spending Christmas week building a perfect 12-month strategy.
Reality check: Google algorithm updates, surprise product launches, and market shifts made my October plans irrelevant by February.
Lesson: Plan quarters, not years. 🧵

5 responsibilities no one warns marketing heads about:

Your team aren't data scientists
Digital strategy is mandatory now
Your website is your top employee
Constant skill updates needed
One person can't do everything

Reality: Companies expect miracles without resources 🤷 #digitalmarketingmgr

Why most in-house marketers feel like they're drowning 🌊 Your new digital marketer isn't just doing "digital marketing" - they're juggling SEO, social, email, analytics, content, paid ads, AND strategy. Often alone. Then companies wonder why they burn out in 18 months. The missing piece:

3. Are there any new initiatives that need additional budget or resources? (Establishing new YouTube presence that requires strategy, and owners on content prod, etc)

Just passing the time by as Q4 approaches is never a good strategy.
Let me know how you're preparing in the comments below

1/2 How to structure your Q4 digital plan in 3 steps
1. Start now, don't wait until Oct 1
2. Review your annual business goals and objectives - those KPIs you discussed and agree on with your team back in January. Which are still relevant, need further support? Which changed and should be removed?

This is good - I think local search needs all the help it can get at this point.

So this... it's the SEO thinking hey let me fill a sub reddit full of keywords. Here's how you use that Reddit intel - listen to what your audience is talking about - use that as part of your topic first strategy in your site, in the socials, etc. #seodoneright #in-housedigitalmarketing
"Posting on Reddit" is not an SEO strategy. It is SEOs chasing the bus down the road and shouting through the window to be part of the conversation.
July 15, 2025 at 3:36 PM
Such a smart approach - this is the part of SEO that is ALIVE!
Topic first does drive long term results - I also agree that too many make this way harder than it needs to be.

If your “lead gen” strategy is just a blog + a form… you don’t have a strategy.

We start with real audience analysis, not keywords. Then build a 90-day plan tied to KPIs.

Launching a new group for in-house marketers who want better.
DM me “Lead Gen” for details.

I think this little graphic says it all... where do Search Gen AI get their info... survey says!
BLOGS ... don't ignore 'em! #digitalmarketing #contentmarketing
