About this episode
Recently, Google embarked on a mission to answer one question: ‘How do consumers decide what they want to buy and who they want to buy it from?’The answer was.. squiggly, the say the least. To stand out and sell in 2025, you’re not just ‘one funnel away’ anymore. Instead, it’s essential to build an ecosystem of touchpoints to satisfy the savvy, skeptical buyers that you’re the real deal. The 'middle of funnel' is more important (and squiggly) than ever, and to stand out and sell? Yours needs to be robust. The test is this — if someone found you right now, would they have 7-9 hours of touchpoint available with you to binge on demand? ?If not, you need today's episode. And if you do, you still need it - because there's four other tests I share, too.
