Digital Marketing Insider (134): 3-20-24

Howdy Insiders! 🚀 

This week is all about Google for us, and it better be for you too! 😆 

Have you heard the term Search Generative Experience (SGE) yet?

No?

RIP to your ads 🪦 🙏 👼 

Next month will be a very rude awakening to you and your advertising campaigns if you are not prepared!

SGE is an experimental search experience which uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) to provide users with quick and clear overviews of search topics without them having to click on individual webpages.

Starting next month SGE is beginning to roll out, and will change the way your ads are seen by your prospective audience.

Nothing will be the same again.

Our VP of Sales and Marketing Josh Muskin will be hosting a FREE webinar Wednesday March 27th from 12-1pm ET for anyone that wants to learn:

  • What SGE is

  • How to nab the 'new' #1 ranking

  • How to adapt your current SEO strategy

  • Key tactical and strategic actions to take today

  • And how to know if it's working (before it's even live)

This will be the last opportunity to prepare for SGE before it rolls out in April, and we want to ensure you, as a Digital Marketing Insider, are prepared!

Register now before it is too late.

(You won’t regret it) 🤘 🤙
