Local Marketing Is Complex: What the Data Says & What To Do

This post was sponsored by Uberall. The opinions expressed in this article are the sponsor’s own. Should I add more AI tools to manage local listings and reviews, or is that making it worse? Who should own AI search visibility across all our locations? The ideal multi-location marketing world is one where agentic AI fixes duplicate listings, responds to customer reviews, analyzes sentiment, and spots optimization opportunities before the marketer can say “GBP.” However, what multi-location brand CMOs actually have, in today’s far less ideal world, is layers of disjointed AI and marketing tooling creating an unclean and unclear infrastructure. This lack of infrastructure makes it nearly impossible to track overall ROI. In This Guide An Uberall survey last year revealed that only around 1...

61% of CMOs Say Local Marketing Is Too Complex: Here’s the Fix

This post was sponsored by Uberall. The opinions expressed in this article are the sponsor’s own. Who should own AI search visibility across all our locations? Should I add more AI tools to manage local listings and reviews, or is that making it worse? When 99% of senior marketers say they want an AI orchestration layer, the question is who leads it.

How Reviews Drive Business Results Beyond Marketing

Most business owners assume that higher star ratings are linked to better business outcomes. A peer-reviewed study tested that assumption directly. Researchers Eddie Inyang and Juliana White surveyed 251 U.S. small-business owners on online reputation management, Google star ratings, and business performance. Notably, Google star ratings alone didn’t predict performance. What was associated with performance was the practice of ORM. Active reputation management correlated with better business results. Not the stars, but their behind-the-scenes work. What The Research Found The study, published in the Journal of Small Business Strategy, tested six hypotheses regarding ORM and small-business performance using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Five were supported. Customer or...

Relationship Marketing: Reactive vs. Proactive and Why You Need Both

You’ve heard it a million times – relationships are everything in business. But how you manage those relationships?  That’s what separates brands with loyal customers from the ones stuck chasing their next quick sale. Enter relationship marketing.  Relationship marketing is the not-so-secret strategy behind turning one-time buyers into lifetime fans. And boy oh boy do we need those lifetime fans. According to studies, a 5% increase in customer retention can boost profits by up to 95%. That’s the kind of ROI you can’t ignore. But here’s where most brands get it wrong — they lean too hard on one side. Reactive marketing? It’s all about responding to customers. Proactive marketing? That’s about staying a step ahead. The truth is, to win at relationship marketing, you need b...

Email Marketing for Small Businesses: The Complete 2026 Guide

By Sean Tinney April 6, 2026 Email marketing is a direct channel between you and your audience. You own it. No algorithm controls who sees it.

That gap — between knowing email matters and actually making it work — is exactly what this guide closes. Here’s what you’ll find inside: how email marketing works, how to build your list, how to write emails people open, how to choose a platform, the strategies that drive results, how to automate your best sequences, and how to measure what matters.

What if you could wake up to discovery call requests from people who already trust your expertise and understand your value—without spending hours on social media or chasing cold leads?

How to Create a Social Media Marketing Strategy for Business

How Joy Dakinisun Launched Her New Website with Email Marketing Ready from Day One

By Sean Tinney January 29, 2026 Meet Joy Dakinisun – business coach Joy Dakinisun, an online business coach, was getting ready to launch her new website quantumleapwithjoy.com. Most of her energy was focused on getting the design right, refining her messaging, and making sure everything reflected her brand. She knew email marketing would help her capture subscribers from day one. But between finalizing her website, serving clients, and creating content, actually setting it up kept getting pushed to the bottom of her to-do list. She kept telling herself she’d set it up after launch. But deep down, she knew launching without email meant missing critical opportunities. No immediate value for new visitors. No way to book calls or get support. No foundation for turning inte...

How Anonymous Website Visitors Impact Your Marketing ROI

Did you know that 98% of your website visitors leave without doing anything? No purchases, no sign-ups, just a blip in your traffic data. These anonymous visitors are potential customers, leads, and revenue streams just slipping away under the radar.  And the kicker? Most marketers are so focused on the visible 2% that they ignore the massive untapped opportunity sitting right under their noses! At Customers.ai, we’ve seen brands turn anonymous visitors into real results: Think 30% more conversions, higher ROI on retargeting, and leads that might’ve otherwise been lost forever. So, here’s the big question: How much ROI are you leaving on the table by not identifying your anonymous visitors? If you’re not sure, it’s time to find out. Let’s break it down. See Who Is On Y...

Trigger-Based Email Marketing: A Step-by-Step Playbook to Accelerating ROI

Email marketing is like printing money when you get it right. On average, it brings in $42 for every $1 spent. But let’s be real…sending generic blasts to your entire list doesn’t cut it. That’s where trigger-based email marketing comes in.  Think of it as the perfect mix of timing, relevance, and automation.

Why The Sales Team Hates Your Leads (And How To Fix It)

You ask the head of marketing how the team is doing and get a giant thumbs up. 👍 “Our MQLs are up!” “Website conversion rates are at an all-time high!” “Email click rates have never been this good!” But when you ask the head of sales the same question, you get the response that echoes across sales desks worldwide — the leads from marketing suck.  If you’re in this boat, you’re not alone. The issue of “leads from marketing suck” is a common situation in most organizations. In a HubSpot survey, only 9.1% of salespeople said leads they received from marketing were of very high quality. Why do sales teams hate marketing-generated leads? And how can marketers help their sales peers fall in love with their leads?  Let’s dive into the answers to these questions. Then,...

This incomplete picture leads to misallocated budgets, unrealistic growth projections, and investor presentations that don't hold up under scrutiny. (more…)

Are blogs dead? I asked 10 marketing experts

Every few years, a new channel takes center stage — short-form video, podcasting, or AI-generated content — and people start asking the same question: “Are blogs dead?” It's a fair question. After all, platforms evolve and audience habits shift. But the idea that blogs are irrelevant today? That’s a myth I was eager to investigate. To get a clear answer, I turned to marketers across SEO, content, and digital strategy to find out whether blogging is still worth the investment. Here's what they said.

Hootsuite CEO Irina Novoselsky on marketing to Gen Z

Around this time every year, I like to reflect on my upbringing. I moved to the US from Ukraine at a young age, and my parents had less than $300 in their pocket to start an entirely new life. It shaped the way I see the world — and the way I approach business, even to this day. It also taught me the value of adaptability and being open to new perspectives. These are two skills that leaders need now more than ever as we experience a massive shake-up in the business world, thanks to a generation that’s turning the status quo on its head. Yes, I’m talking about Gen Z, the group responsible for breaking the marketing funnel and making the business playbooks we use every day obsolete. It’s why I dedicated four months speaking to over 500 Gen Zers working at B2B organizations. Keep scr...

Content Marketing Team Dynamics That Deliver Results

As a content professional with almost a decade in the game, I have been a part of several content marketing teams and projects. While each project came with its own objectives and obstacles, one thing remained constant: a consistent underestimation of what a content marketing team achieves for the organization at large. The natural assumption about content marketing teams is that we write a bunch of blogs with some SEO guidelines or create some witty social media posts, and voila, the job is done! As an insider, I have seen firsthand that a solid content marketing team does much more than this. Content is the driver of discoverability for a company, and a solid content marketing team will help you achieve that.

How to Optimize Shopify Marketing with Customers.ai

The biggest challenge in Shopify Marketing has tripped up marketers for decades. You have to have the right product and then reach the right customers at the right time with the right message.  It’s harder than it sounds–and it doesn’t sound easy! Even worse: it’s only going to get more difficult.  Changes by Meta and Apple had significantly diminished the accuracy and reach of Shopify marketing. In 2024, Google is adding two more hurdles.  First, they’re blocking third-party cookies in Chrome and they’ll be 100% blocked by the end of the year. Second, they’ve implemented much stricter rules around emailing and spam. The new rules include harsher penalties for violating senders.  In one word: yikes!  Effective targeting and strong email deliverability are the foundations of ...

How Local Businesses Should Use Video In Their Digital Marketing

The popularity of digital video content is undeniable. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, all of which are heavily video-based, are at the top of the social media ladder. For many younger audiences, these platforms, along with a plethora of streaming services, have usurped all others as their primary source of entertainment and/or information. Some are even being touted as the next search engines. This is still hotly debated. Likewise, video marketing is on the rise, and many marketers have come to see this as a preferred method of engaging with their target audiences. However, at a local business level and for local business owners, it feels like there is still something of a reluctance to fully embrace this important medium. Perhaps this is due to a lack of time or resources – a c...

If that’s your idea of marketing, as a small business, it can be a bit overwhelming. So, instead of trying to take on the big brands, you need a different approach.

Local businesses wanting to improve their online visibility are regularly tasked with proving their “localness” and relevance to search engines. In my last article on using local partnerships and collaborations to build authority and visibility, we touched on the importance of community participation and engagement as a means to establish this localness. Two primary means of engaging with local customers are via events or establishing communications during relevant occasions. Both offer the opportunity to create informational, educational, or promotional content where local businesses are able to demonstrate their experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness – or E-E-A-T – which Google strongly factors into its Search Quality Rater Guidelines and, subsequently, its search ...

Disruptive Design: Raising the Bar of Content Marketing with Graphic Design

What if I told you that your content marketing strategy is only half as effective without using graphic design? It’s like serving a gourmet meal on a trash can lid – the quality is there, but the presentation is all wrong. Imagine that you’re scrolling through your favorite online platform – what stops your thumb in its tracks? Is it the lengthy posts, or the visuals that tell a story without even a single word? I think that answer is more obvious now than ever. As a digital marketer and graphic design veteran who has witnessed the evolution of the industry over the last 17+ years, I’ve come to a realization: in our rush to improve the process of content creation, most creators often underestimate the profound influence that graphic design has on their content.

Recognizing the immense value this group brings to my business, I’m eager to contribute by sharing my unique “Holy Grail Copy” methodology.

Data-Driven Decision Making To Optimized Local Digital Marketing Efforts

If you’ve been involved in any sort of marketing over the past 20 to 30 years, you’ve no doubt heard the phrase “Content is King.” This may very well be true, as content in its many forms underpins all interactions between businesses and their target audience. However, if “Content is King,” then data is an omnipotent force directing the King’s every move. This is particularly the case with digital marketing, where nearly all interactions and engagements can be monitored, analyzed, and optimized. To put it simply, data helps us to understand what is working and not working so we can focus our attention on doing more of the former and less of the latter to drive results. Start With Actionable KPIs For small local businesses, which don’t typically have a great deal of time or resources to all...

How to Automate and Monetize ONE Marketing Conversation to Create Strategic Chatbot Success, Even if FB Shuts You Down

We are all here, because we think conversational marketing and chatbots are amazing, right? I hope you agree with me when I say that it’s NOT the chatbot – the technical thing we build – that is amazing, but WHAT WE PUT IN IT – the conversation. And, if you agree with that, let’s go one step further, in order for what we put in the chatbot – the copy – to convert at a high level, we need to have a strong, successful strategy for the TRANSFORMATION of the other person in the conversation, not us and our business.

The Future of Marketing: Harnessing AI with a Human Touch

You know that eerie moment when you’re halfway through an article or ad and you realize – “Hold on a second, a human didn’t write this. An AI did!”? We’ve all been there. It’s a bit like biting into a juicy apple, only to realize it’s made of plastic.  Sure, we’ve got AI now – it’s pumping out content faster than a popcorn machine at a movie theater. But truth be told, a lot of AI content lacks the warmth, the humor, the “je ne sais quoi” that makes us human. That, my friends, is the puzzle we’re facing in today’s marketing world.  But here’s the kicker: with just a bit of human editing and smart prompting, AI content can transform from simply good – to indistinguishable from top human writers. That’s the sweet spot we’re aiming for, and that’s exactly what we’re going to explore in ...
