[2022] Funnels and Google Ads Now a Match Made in Heaven?

Historically, Google advertisers haven’t liked funnels—for a lot of reasons. But is that about to drastically change?&nbsp;On today’s bite-sized episode, host Kasim Aslam is talking about his favorite topic (cue the sarcasm): funnels. Funnels haven’t functioned well traditionally in the Google ecosystem, so he hasn’t had much use for them. Until Google Performance Max. Now, not only is Kasim rethinking his opinion of funnels, he’s re-evaluating the very definition. “Marketers didn’t invent the funnel,” he says. “A funnel is a natural sequence through which a purchasing decision is made. It exists for your product or service in your industry completely independent of you.” The funnel is with your customer. The more you work to understand your customer, your avatar, the more you understand the funnel. Funnels aren’t dead, he says. They’re more important than ever.Listen in to find out more.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:How the full funnel marketing approach is built into the fabric of Google’s advertising&nbsp;What Google does with the goal, audiences, and assets you give them&nbsp;Why it’s counterproductive to dictate location to GoogleHow Google Performance Max builds awareness&nbsp;LINKS AND RESOURCES:Tiereleven.comSolutions 8&nbsp;Perpetual Traffic SurveyPerpetual Traffic WebsiteFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Kasim on Twitter and Connect with Ralph on LinkedInThanks so much for joining us this week.

If so, how is its market power hurting marketing and advertising agencies?On today's episode, Kasim Aslam describes how Google's monopoly power allows it to weaponize data and charge money for traffic over and above normal auction rates.&nbsp;About a decade ago, bloggers, marketers, and advertisers used to get by on organic traffic and internet advertising. Unfortunately, those days are long gone now that Google gobbles up the vast majority of internet advertising dollars. Google can exert massive influence by controlling how people use the internet — and charge money for traffic however they please.Like any monopoly, Kasim believes it's high times the government regulated them and created an ecosystem that allows other marketing mechanisms to compete.&nbsp;&nbsp;Listen in as Kasim dissects how Google's monopoly is hurting advertising and how The U.S. Justice Department can confront Google's position as the unchallenged giant on the internet.&nbsp;IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:How Google's monopoly is hurting advertisingGoogle's dominance in the advertising spaceThe U.S. Department of Justice's role in squashing Google's dominanceAd rank threshold and what that meansGoogle's tainted Ads pricing frameworkWhy Google ads can and will exceed your daily set budgetWhy the traffic auction format is an interesting counter to Google's monopolyLINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Follow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Kasim on TwitterOUR PARTNERS:Get a Free Month of Blogs from BKA ContentGet a Free book on how to optimize your website Conversion FanaticsLearn how bots can automate your lead flow from BotBuilders7 Levels of Scale workbookGet Roland's book, Zero Down, FREEFind out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.Register for our free Founders Board workshopThanks so much for joining us this week.

How Google Outsmarted Facebook and What it Means for Marketers

So, how did Facebook end up taking all the heat for this privacy stuff, while Google sat back quietly and dodged the bullets?&nbsp;On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam talk about the absolute brilliance of Google. For one thing, they don’t have a “face of the company,” so while everyone is out here hating Mark Zuckerberg and turning him into a meme, Google (whoever “Google” is) is more than happy to let him be the villain. Google watched Facebook take the heat for all the iOS 14 privacy updates madness. Then, when everyone was so fatigued that they didn’t even care anymore, Google rolled out Performance Max, the craziest, most invasive, most heavily-targeted tool in the history of the world. It’s literally going to change everything.Listen in for tips on staying on top of what’s new with Google Performance Max and what it means for your business.&nbsp;&nbsp;IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Why the 30-day attribution window/click to purchase paradigm is obsoleteWhat multi-touchpoint engagement means in practical terms&nbsp;The biggest mistake marketers are making right now with Performance Max2 new Performance Max features that just rolled out this weekLINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Solutions 8 on YouTubeEverything Google Knows About YouPerpetual Traffic SurveyFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Ralph and Kasim on TwitterOUR PARTNERS:Get a Free Month of Blogs from BKA ContentGet a Free book on how to optimize your website Conversion FanaticsLearn how bots can automate your lead flow from BotBuilders7 Levels of Scale workbookGet Roland’s book, Zero Down, FREEFind out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.Register for our free Founders Board workshopThanks so much for joining us this week.

They (and their clients) are already spending thousands (even millions) of dollars on this platform. It truly changes everything we’ve ever known about traffic. The Golden Rule of Performance Max, Kasim says, is that there are no Golden Rules. Every client, every implementation is so different—and so customizable in the ways that matter.

An Ethical Way to Steal Your Competitors YouTube Traffic

This hack won a “Wicked Smart” award at a recent War Room Mastermind, so you know it’s got to be good.&nbsp;On today’s “What’s Working Now” episode, host Kasim Aslam shares a brilliant tip for free that a bunch of other entrepreneurs had to pay $35k to hear.

He shared his totally legal hack in a five-minute powerpoint presentation at a recent meeting, and his fellow members were duly impressed. It all started in November 2020 when Youtube came out and said they were going to show ads on all videos. In January 2022, Kasim came up with a wicked smart idea to use that to his decisive advantage.Listen in to hear how you too can pull off an ethical heist of your competitors’ most valuable organic traffic.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:The biggest thing Kasim has gotten from War Room this year&nbsp;How Kasim’s ad got a 31% view rate and a massive 8-minute average view duration&nbsp;Why Google is still protecting some videos from ads in 2022Why Kasim’s ad doesn’t qualify as “interruption marketing”&nbsp;LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:War Room MastermindPerpetual Traffic SurveyFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Ralph and Kasim on TwitterOUR PARTNERS:Get a Free Month of Blogs from BKA ContentGet a Free book on how to optimize your website Conversion FanaticsLearn how bots can automate your lead flow from BotBuilders7 Levels of Scale workbookGet Roland’s book, Zero Down, FREEFind out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.Register for our free Founders Board workshopThanks so much for joining us this week.

But is that about to drastically change?&nbsp;On today’s bite-sized episode, host Kasim Aslam is talking about his favorite topic (cue the sarcasm): funnels. Funnels haven’t functioned well traditionally in the Google ecosystem, so he hasn’t had much use for them. Until Google Performance Max. Now, not only is Kasim rethinking his opinion of funnels, he’s re-evaluating the very definition. “Marketers didn’t invent the funnel,” he says. “A funnel is a natural sequence through which a purchasing decision is made. It exists for your product or service in your industry completely independent of you.” The funnel is with your customer. The more you work to understand your customer, your avatar, the more you understand the funnel. Funnels aren’t dead, he says. They’re more important than ever.Listen in to find out more.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:How the full funnel marketing approach is built into the fabric of Google’s advertising&nbsp;What Google does with the goal, audiences, and assets you give them&nbsp;Why it’s counterproductive to dictate location to GoogleHow Google Performance Max builds awareness&nbsp;LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Perpetual Traffic SurveyFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Ralph and Kasim on TwitterOUR PARTNERS:Get a Free Month of Blogs from BKA ContentGet a Free book on how to optimize your website Conversion FanaticsLearn how bots can automate your lead flow from BotBuilders7 Levels of Scale workbookGet Roland’s book, Zero Down, FREEFind out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.Register for our free Founders Board workshopThanks so much for joining us this week.

Episode 386: Crash Course on Hiring a Virtual Team with Shaina Weisinger

Finding the right people to work for you and with you is one of the most important—and intimidating—parts of running a business.&nbsp;On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with Shaina Weisinger, CEO and founder of Repurpose House, to talk about how to hire the right people to grow and scale your business. Shaina started her company because there was a huge market for repurposed content and no one was doing it. But she had been a bottleneck in the past and knew she couldn’t be the one doing all the work this time around. She’d create the processes, the SOPs, make them efficient, document them, and pass the baton. She designed a recurring, replicable model and built her business up from the ground like that. Not only does she have incredible processes for the work her company does, she has well-oiled processes for hiring people to do that work—both domestic and overseas.Listen in for some practical advice on building systems that work and hiring the right people for each and every job.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Shaina’s step-by-step hiring process (and how she weeds people out)&nbsp;What’s included in the video they require all potential hires to makeWhich job listing platform works best (and which one to avoid)Pros and cons of hiring talent from overseas (and how to pay fairly)&nbsp;LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:ShainaWeisinger.comIndeedRepurpose HousePerpetual Traffic SurveyFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Ralph and Kasim on TwitterOUR PARTNERS:Get a Free Month of Blogs from BKA ContentGet a Free book on how to optimize your website Conversion FanaticsLearn how bots can automate your lead flow from BotBuilders7 Levels of Scale workbookGet Roland’s book, Zero Down, FREEFind out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.Register for our free Founders Board workshopThanks so much for joining us this week.

Episode 385: A Tech Stack to Help You Beat the iOS Changes with Chris Mercer

Imagine if someone just handed you a list of every single tool you need to effectively measure the performance of your marketing.&nbsp;On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down once again with Chris Mercer, founder of MeasurementMarketing.io. This time he’s got a whole tech stack he’s going to share with us from start to finish, the whole kit and caboodle. Seriously, he’s giving away the farm here. It’s easy to over-complicate things, Mercer says. The skill is to make things simple. How do we keep it simple? Every measurement system has to do 3 things: 1.) Collect information to get answers to questions. 2.) Store that information to access later. And 3.) Build reports on that data. If you don’t know how to measure, all the tools in the world won’t help you. “Measurement is how we listen,” he says. “Marketing is how we respond.”Listen in as he walks us through the powerful skill of measurement—simple step by simple step.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:How to figure out the true traffic sources of your ROAS (when everybody’s claiming it)3 free (and powerful) Google tools (and how/when to use them)Why customer journeys aren’t one-size-fits-all (and how to choose the right one)How learning measurement can keep you out of jail (literally)LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:FREE Measurement Toolbox from MeasurementMarketing.ioFree Measurement Training on YouTubeMeasurementMarketing.ioGoogle AnalyticsGoogle Tag ManagerGoogle Data StudioEp. 376 (all about CAPI Gateway)Antifragile (book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb)Perpetual Traffic SurveyFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Ralph and <a href="https://twitter.com/kasimaslam" rel="noopener...

Episode 384: The Superstorm of Marketing Challenges in 2022 with Chris Mercer

The only thing worse than not knowing how you failed is not knowing how you succeeded.&nbsp;On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with Chris Mercer, founder of MeasurementMarketing.io, to talk about getting leads and sales for your business through measurement. Kasim calls Mercer “one of the only non-posers in the attribution/measurement game online, the most important voice in digital marketing right now, and the smartest guy in the space.” The scary thing for marketers, Mercer says, is that every day it’s getting harder to measure. Tech is changing, laws are making it harder, and users don’t want to be measured. But there are still plenty of ways to get around all of that, and MeasurementMarketing.io can help you do it.Listen in for some helpful tips on figuring out how you got your results, so you know what action to take next.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:What you need to know about modeling attribution on Facebook and GoogleHow to work with measurement in a company culture&nbsp;How to take clients from awareness to engagement to completion to measurementWhere to get free measurement training&nbsp;LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:FREE Measurement Toolbox from MeasurementMarketing.ioFree Measurement Training on YouTubeMeasurementMarketing.ioPerpetual Traffic SurveyFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Ralph and Kasim on TwitterOUR PARTNERS:Get a Free Month of Blogs from BKA ContentGet a Free book on how to optimize your website Conversion FanaticsLearn how bots can automate your lead flow from BotBuilders7 Levels of Scale workbookGet Roland’s book, Zero Down, FREEFind out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.Register for our free Founders Board workshopThanks so much for joining us this week.

As advertisers, iOS updates rocked our world this past year, and while&nbsp;Facebook&nbsp;took the fall, it was&nbsp;Google&nbsp;after all.On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down to chat about the&nbsp;one&nbsp;thing that’s going to change&nbsp;everything: Google Performance Max.

Episode 370: Why You Probably Failed with LinkedIn Ads and the 3 Things You Can Do to Have Success | Interview with AJ Wilcox

LinkedIn is like a steady hum in the background of loud Facebook and TikTok ads, but if you do it right, there’s a way to get huge advertising wins on this platform.&nbsp;In today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with AJ Wilcox, founder of&nbsp;B2Linked, a LinkedIn ad agency.

Episode 361: Congress's Attempt to Shut Down Digital Advertising and Kasim's Plea for Liberty and Small Businesses

A new bill was introduced this week that could literally take away your ability to be seen by your target audience.&nbsp;In today’s episode, host Kasim Aslam shares his thoughts on the Verge article that came out this week:&nbsp;“Democrats Unveil Bill to Ban Online ‘Surveillance Advertising.’”&nbsp;Kasim, who is anti-partisan, is forced to get “mildly political” as he responds to this unsettling news. The bill would ban all use of digital advertising targeting ads to users. Kasim doesn’t want to be dramatic, but this is a dramatic bill, he says. If passed, it could effectively be the end of digital marketing as we know it. If they take away your ability to be seen by a relevant audience, “your message will be lost. You’ll be de-platformed. You’ll be a needle in a stack of needles.”&nbsp;Listen in to hear Kasim’s thoughtful hot take and what he thinks is actually the solution to all of our trafficking problems.&nbsp;IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:What kind of targeting the bill does “allow” and why that’s not a concessionWhat the “Overton Window” is and why it mattersWhy and how this bill hamstrings every single small business out thereTips for building (and being grateful for) a beautiful community&nbsp;LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:“Democrats Unveil Bill to Ban Online ‘Surveillance Advertising’”&nbsp;(The Verge)Banning Surveillance Advertising ActPerpetual Traffic SurveyPerpetual Traffic podcastConnect with&nbsp;Ralph&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kasim&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;OUR PARTNERS:No Limit Creatives&nbsp;gives you unlimited graphics/videos for one low monthly rate.&nbsp;Create an online store with Wix7 Levels of Scale workbookGet Roland’s book,&nbsp;Zero Down, FREEFind out your Leadership Trust Score at&nbsp;Ready to Lead.Join Roland's next EPIC ChallengeRegister for our free&nbsp;Founders Board workshop&nbsp;Thanks so much for joining us this week.

Episode 335: An Easier Way to Collect First Party Data with Travis Stephenson, CEO of Chatmatic

First party data is more important than ever before, and chatbots might just be the most effective way to capture it.   Travis Stephenson, CEO of Chatmatic, believes that people who hate chatbots (which is quite a few people) are overcomplicating them.

It’s more of a replacement for a landing page—a bridge to get people where they want to go. Don’t try to cram your entire ecosystem into your chatbot, he says, just use it for lead generation and segmentation.    Listen in as he works hard to convince Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam to embrace chatbots. Spoiler: it’s not a hard sell for Kasim who is the world’s biggest cheerleader for first party data.

Episode 315: Real SEO That Works: How Content Isn’t Always King and What to Focus on Instead

We’ve heard it—and said it—over and over. When it comes to SEO and driving traffic to your website, content is everything. Right? Hold that thought. On today’s episode, Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with Tyler Horsley, CEO and founder of Nuclear Networking, and he has a different take. Sure, he says, you still need words, but content doesn’t actually drive traffic; link building does.
