  • Marketing Momentum: How to Turn Sales Questions Into Your Best Website Content

    Send us Fan Mail

    Your sales team is sitting on a content gold mine. They may not even realize.

    In this episode, Lance breaks down why your website should be answering sales questions before your salesperson ever has to. The questions your team fields on every call are exactly what buyers are searching for online, and when those answers aren't on your site, you're sending them straight to a competitor.

    You will walk away with a clear process for turning your sales team's most common questions into high-intent website content that helps buyers make decisions before they ever reach out.

  • Marketing Momentum: March Madness and AI Scoring

    Send us Fan Mail

    The odds of a perfect March Madness bracket are 1 in 9.2 quintillion. If you actually know basketball, those odds improve to 1 in 120 billion. That gap is exactly how you should be thinking about AI and SEO.

    In this episode, Lance breaks down why handing AI a prompt and hoping for the best is the equivalent of picking teams by mascot vibes. The people who actually benefit from AI in their SEO are the ones who already understand the game and use it to move faster, go deeper, and scale what works.

    Lance also walks through a quick four-question self-assessment so you can honestly evaluate where you stand, and whether AI is acting as a true accelerator for your business or just helping you spin your wheels faster.

  • Marketing Momentum in a Minute: Why Your Title Tags Are Costing You Clicks

    Send us Fan Mail

    Most teams treat title tags like a one-time SEO checkbox. Write them once, move on, never look back.

    They are still a ranking factor. They are the first thing someone sees in search. And you only get 60 characters to make your case.

    In this episode, Lance walks through the exact process for auditing and rewriting title tags that drive qualified traffic, without creating a single new piece of content.

    Google's new "online estimates" filter chip and how to capitalize on it

  • Marketing Momentum: AI Visibility is Inconsistent

    Send us Fan Mail

    New research from SparkToro shows AI recommendations are highly inconsistent. Ask the same question repeatedly, and you’ll likely get different brands in different orders each time.

    In this episode, Lance explains why tracking AI visibility like SEO rankings can be misleading and what businesses should focus on instead.
