On episode eleven of the Think Bigger Podcast, I’m being joined by Shawn “Kid Flash” Hubbard, Aaron “Sonic” Olin and Tom “Quicksilver” Krush. Together they make up the Pagespeed Team at Dealer Inspire and they’ll be joining me on the show to talk about what Pagespeed really is and why it matters for your users and your dealership.

 

Listen to Episode 011

Starting with this very episode of the Think Bigger Podcast, we’ll be dedicating the next eight episodes to breaking-down Google’s Dealer Playbook. For those who may not know, Google introduced this playbook at Digital Dealer 23 and its main goal is to inform car dealers how they can most effectively use Google’s products to drive their business forward.

As we take this journey, we’ll be showing you how YOU can upgrade your paid search strategies, video and display advertising, measurement and attribution models and so much more. But before we can talk about any of that we have to start by addressing the foundation to it all – your dealership’s website.

You see, if your website isn’t prepared to handle the traffic that your marketing and advertising generates, then you aren’t spending those dollars effectively. In their playbook, Google identifies pagespeed as a core fundamental to understand and that’s where we’re going to start.

The goal of this episode is to breakdown what Google’s Pagespeed Insight tool measures, the info it gives you and what youcan do to help improve your website’s pagespeed today.

Introducing Think Bigger: LIVE!

Because we’re taking an ongoing look at Google’s Dealer Playbook, we wanted to do something special to help bring that information to light. So in addition to covering the playbook on this podcast, we’re also launching a new mini-series titled Think Bigger: LIVE!

Starting on Wednesday, September 20th, we’ll be going live on Facebook every other week or so to discuss the playbook in detail. The live session is a shorter, more condensed version of the companion podcast episode. We know not everyone has a lot of time during the day, so we’re keeping the live sessions to about 20-30 minutes in length. This also gives us the benefit of sharing some more visual materials to go along with what we’re talking about.

Then, if you catch the live stream and want to dig deeper, you can tune in to the podcast for better understanding of the subject matter.

Make sure you like the Facebook Page for Launch Digital Marketing today so you can get notified of all the upcoming Think Bigger: Live sessions!
