Show notes Copy "No one cares what your name is." They care what you stand for. In this episode Keith Perhac talks with Josh Ramsey about the gap between what AI marketing promises and what it delivers. Josh explains why small business owners can't do their own AI marketing, why companies pick agencies for the wrong reasons, and how he turned decades of marketing experience into a set of laws he gives away for free. Keith adds why AI only becomes a superpower when you bring taste and process, and why it fills in the blanks when it doesn't have the data. About Josh Ramsey Josh is the founder of JRCMO and Strategic Point Marketing. He has worked in marketing since 1998, starting in traditional media (radio, TV, print, billboards, transit ads), and has placed $1.5 billion in media. He steps into companies as their chief marketing officer and interviews the ad agencies they hire. Topics discussed Agencies selling AI to small businesses, and a contractor paying $4,000 to $5,000 just to talk to a lead Why AI isn't magic: garbage in, garbage out Choosing a marketer because he flies on a private plane and drives a Lamborghini Taste and process: the two things that make AI a superpower The girlfriend effect: why no one cares about your name until they know what you stand for Using AI to grade your marketing against a set of rules, and what to do with the result Why AI fills in the blanks, and the 400,000 words it would take to sound like you Test before you invest, and ROI as "result of investment" How AI is removing middle management, and what that means for small agencies and the trades Why every business still needs a tastemaker Paying people at a mall $5 for five minutes to test a jewelry company's marketing Key takeaways AI makes good work better and faster, but it is still garbage in, garbage out. Sell your unique selling position before your name. Test a strategy with a little money before you commit to it: you're never guaranteed a return, but you're always guaranteed a result. If AI doesn't have the information, it fills in the blanks. Check the data behind an answer instead of just trusting it. One person can't have taste for everything. Someone has to be watching the AI. Ask an outside audience what they feel, instead of going on how you feel about your own marketing. Where to find Josh Search "Josh Ramsey marketing", or look for the JRCMO brain in Claude.

Your next big client is already watching your videos. You just can't see them.Before they sign up, book a call, or reach out, high-value buyers do their homework. They search your name plus "reviews" or "legit," watch your YouTube videos on a Sunday night, and check out your About page. They don't like, comment, or subscribe — so none of it shows up in your funnel. That's the invisible pipeline, and most businesses aren't built for it. In this episode of Data Beats Opinion, SegMetrics founder Keith Perhac talks with Ian Garlic, founder of Video Case Story, who helps attorneys, coaches, and other experts land bigger clients with YouTube. They dig into why time with your client is a better metric than views, the videos you need everywhere buyers check you out, why simple, repeated content beats clever content, and how to treat YouTube like your website as AI reshapes search. If you sell a high-value service and your videos feel like they're disappearing into the void, this one's for you. About the Guest:Ian Garlic is the founder of Video Case Story, where he helps experts and trusted authorities — from attorneys and dentists to clients like Gino Wickman — land bigger clients using YouTube. His approach starts with customer stories, then turns them into videos that show prospects exactly how you work and why you're different, placed everywhere buyers go to check you out.

Google said the campaigns were doing 8x ROAS. The bank account said otherwise. Broken conversion tracking, inflated branded results, and agencies that barely log in can make a money-losing Google Ads account look like a winner. So how do you know if your ads are actually working? In this episode of Data Beats Opinion, SegMetrics founder Keith Perhac talks with David Pourquery, founder of Groas, whose AI agents manage about $35M a month in Google Ads spend. They dig into why Google Ads got so much harder, the one report that shows whether your agency is doing anything, and the two levers that still decide whether your ads work at all. If you run ads, manage them for clients, or pay someone else to, this one's for you. About the Guest:David Pourquery is the founder and CEO of Groas, an autonomous AI agent for managing Google Ads. Groas's network of agents manages around $35M a month in ad spend, trained on optimization patterns from more than $500B in Google Ads spend.

Your website ranks for your name. The problem is, nobody who'd hire you is searching your name. They're searching your topic — or asking AI who to hire. If you're not the answer to that search, your site isn't working, no matter how polished it looks. So how do coaches and speakers actually get discovered now? In this episode of Data Beats Opinion, SegMetrics founder Keith Perhac talks with Benas Leonavicius, founder of Avium, a search and AI visibility expert for people instead of companies. They dig into why ranking for your name is useless, why AI search is easier to win than everyone thinks, and the one habit that keeps most experts off every shortlist — being too scattered to be known for a single thing. If your reputation is bigger offline than it is online, this episode is about closing that gap.

More than half of your new leads may never see a single email you send.It’s not your subject line, offer or copy. It's something happening silently before your email ever reaches an inbox. In this episode of Data Beats Opinion, SegMetrics founder Keith Perhac talks with Adrian Savage, co-founder of EmailSmart and one of the sharpest minds in inbox visibility. They dig into why the open rate you're tracking is probably lying to you, the single most-overlooked engagement metric, and why blasting your entire list could be quietly wrecking the one marketing asset you actually own. If email is core to how you sell — and it should be — this episode will change how you read your own numbers.

Is your retention making or breaking your lifetime revenue? After the first purchase, most e-commerce brands go quiet — or start blasting discount codes. But the brands that win long-term treat every purchase as the beginning of a relationship, not the end of one. In this episode of Data Beats Opinion, SegMetrics founder Keith Perhac sits down with Ishita Agarwal — founder of Tapp — to dig into why retention is the biggest untapped lever in business, why CAC math is breaking for most brands, and what it actually looks like to turn one-time buyers into loyal fans. What you'll discover: Why your retention tools are only working for 10% of your customers — and what to do about the other 90% From customer to member: the post-purchase mindset shift that changes everything Why discount codes are the wrong retention lever (and what drives real brand loyalty) The CAC math that's quietly bankrupting e-commerce brands — and the LTV fix most brands are ignoring How NFC tags outperform QR codes by 40x — and why physical packaging is an underrated engagement channel About the Guest: Ishita Agarwal is the founder of Tapp, a post-purchase engagement platform that helps e-commerce brands turn one-time buyers into loyal fans. With roots in M&A consulting and emerging technology, she went on to study design and behavioral science at Stanford before zeroing in on the post-purchase gap in commerce. Ishita brings a tech-world playbook — onboarding flows, habit loops, and gamification — to the e-commerce brands that need it most. Connect with Ishita at thetapp.io or on LinkedIn.
