Control TikTok Smart+ Catalog Ads Before the Algorithm Picks the Wrong Creative
The Smart+ problem is an operations problem In August 2026, TikTok described the upgraded Smart+ flow as a single buying experience where automation can run at full, partial, or manual levels. That sounds tidy in a help doc. Inside a lean ecommerce team, it creates a new job: deciding which product images, product videos, TikTok […]

Threads Ads Need a Pipeline Test, Not Another Cheap-Traffic Screenshot
On April 23, 2025, Meta expanded Threads feed ads to eligible advertisers globally, after a January 2025 test in the United States and Japan. That matters for B2B teams because Threads is now inside the same Meta Ads Manager workflow as Instagram and Facebook, with Advantage+ and manual placements able to include the Threads feed […]

Beehiiv, GA4, and HubSpot: The Attribution Stack That Keeps Newsletter Leads Honest
Newsletter sponsorships can make a pipeline report look healthier than it is. I have seen a $4,000 newsletter buy produce 312 Beehiiv-reported clicks, 84 new subscribers, 19 GA4 key events, 11 HubSpot contacts, and exactly one sales-qualified opportunity. The campaign looked strong in the top-of-funnel deck. It looked thin in the pipeline review. That gap […]
Read more Use Semrush AI Visibility and HubSpot Influence to Pick Revenue-First Content Refreshes
Most AI visibility reports die in a dashboard. Someone exports a Semrush chart, circles that the brand appears in 14% of ChatGPT answers, and then the team refreshes whatever page feels easiest. I get why that happens. Semrush made the AI search layer visible in 2025, and the screenshots look board-ready. But visibility by itself […]

Audit GA4 Consent Gaps Before They Warp Your 2026 Remarketing Lists
The list can look healthy and still be wrong In June 2026, I looked at a GA4 audience called “Viewed pricing, no demo” for a B2B SaaS account spending $42,000 a month across Google Search, YouTube, and Performance Max. GA4 showed 18,400 users in the audience. Google Ads Audience Manager showed enough size to run. […]
Read more Stop Letting AI Max Bid on Every HubSpot Form Fill
AI Max changes the search problem Google introduced AI Max for Search campaigns on May 6, 2025, and opened the beta in the Google Ads UI on May 27, 2025. By September 10, 2025, Google said the beta was available globally across Google Ads, Google Ads Editor, Search Ads 360, and the Google Ads API. […]
Read more Scaling Klaviyo Flows After Your First 10,000 Subscribers
The first 10,000 subscribers make Klaviyo feel forgiving. A welcome flow, an abandoned cart flow, a browse flow, a post-purchase flow, maybe one winback. You can keep most of it in your head. At 18,000 or 32,000 profiles, that same setup starts to wobble because paid traffic, organic capture, returning customers, SMS consent, and deliverability […]
Read more Meta CAPI Recovery Rates After iOS 17: What Operators Should Actually Expect
The honest range I use When a founder asks me what Meta Conversions API will recover after iOS 17, I do not give them the clean agency answer. I give them a working range. For Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom Stripe checkout flows I have seen CAPI recover 8% to 22% of purchase events that the […]
