Key Takeaways

✦

Prioritize 'Cost Per Qualified Lead' (CPQL) over traditional 'Cost Per Lead' (CPL) by working closely with your marketing agency and sharing sales team closing ratios to understand actual ROI.

✦

Invest in building robust, hyperlocal content on your website and Google Business Profile to feed AI-powered search generative experiences (SGE) and improve your visibility.

✦

Implement a branded search campaign not only to defend against competitors but also to signal trust and authority to AI, enhancing your overall online presence.

✦

Ensure your mobile website loads in under two seconds (ideally under one second) to cater to AI's need for quick information retrieval and prevent potential customers from moving to faster-loading competitors.

✦

Actively create video content across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube to build brand trust and establish your expertise, experience, and authority (E-E-A-T) for AI algorithms.

✦

Engage in informed conversations with your digital marketing agency about AI's impact on their strategies and your KPIs, and be prepared to switch agencies during the off-season if they cannot adapt.

✦

Allocate your marketing budget strategically across various digital activities, trusting your subject matter experts to optimize for the most conversions at the lowest cost.
