Welcome to Ecommerce Marketing Chats with Charles Travers (Ecommerce SEO Consultant) and Jimmy Dalgleish (Google Ads specialist).

In this episode, Charles walks through his new Mac Mini setup dedicated to running AI agents, including Claude Cowork for automating competitor analysis, backlink research, and even personal finance tracking.

Jimmy shares how he built a fully functional CPC calculator and had it live on his website in just 12 minutes using AI.

They also break down Alex Becker's bold prediction that traditional SaaS is dead, replaced by open source templates that small teams can customize and white label.

Plus, an honest conversation about why neither of them plans to build a team again, how solo ecommerce founders can use these tools to compete with much larger operations, and why speed of execution has never been more important.
