Ted Ted DeBettencourt from Juvo Leads shares how human-powered chat services capture significantly more leads than AI alternatives for businesses with high-value customers. Data shows that human operators outperform chatbots by at least 200% in converting website visitors to qualified leads, particularly for law firms, elective medicine, home services, and retirement communities.

• Human-powered chat services capture 50-60% more leads compared to websites without chat functionality
• Businesses should consider chat services when they have 1,000+ monthly visitors, $2,000 in monthly ad spend, or $1,000+ customer lifetime value
• The "12-second rule" reveals that 40% of potential leads are lost when chat responses take longer than 12 seconds
• While AI bots excel at answering complex questions, humans significantly outperform in converting inquiries into leads
• Proactive chat (video or pop-up) generates substantially more engagement than reactive chat that requires visitor initiation 
• For businesses in regulated industries, using AI to collect sensitive information may create legal vulnerabilities
• Human operators should communicate with prospects through their preferred channels rather than forcing them into specific communication methods

Jeff Greenfield of Provalytics joins us to reveal the challenges of modern marketing attribution and how AI-driven analytics can help marketers understand which efforts drive results.

• Marketers still struggle to identify which half of their ad budget is wasted
• The shift from brand to performance marketing has created an overemphasis on clicks, not impressions
• Digital marketers often overlook that awareness through impressions must precede sales-driving clicks
• Most businesses deal with 10–15 conflicting sources of "truth" across platforms and agencies
• GA4 and legacy analytics often miss the value of TV, podcasts, and other non-digital media
• Grasping “ad stock” – how campaigns influence sales over time – is key for accurate attribution
• AI models that assess incrementality reveal which efforts actually drive more sales
• Complex customer journeys across Meta, Google, and Amazon complicate attribution
• Strong models evaluate three key elements: ad stock, saturation, and media synergy
• The surge in Amazon search (35% of product searches) and AI tools is reshaping marketing

Bruce Clay, the father of SEO, discusses how AI is reshaping digital marketing while SEO remains foundational.

• SEO has evolved from simple keywords to expertise, experience, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).
• Bruce's "siloing" method organizes content by topic to showcase subject expertise.
• Proper "link equity" distribution is crucial but often misunderstood.
• Google’s AI Overview has cut top organic click-through rates by up to 70%.
• Content that thoroughly answers questions performs best in search and AI results.
• Small businesses can compete using Google Business Profiles and local reviews while phasing in SEO.
• Bruce suggests four-week sprint planning for SEO due to constant algorithm shifts.
• Question-based searches have grown from 4% to 16% of all queries.
• Websites need technical excellence just to qualify for rankings.
