MORE THAN 8 IN 10 CONSUMERS TRY TO AVOID ADS

A survey by Gartner found that 81% of consumers in the US try to tune out ads and 52% actively block them through ad-free subscriptions, VPNs, or ad blockers. The backlash is strongest among younger audiences, with 24% of Gen Z saying retargeted ads negatively impact their perception of the advertised brand compared to 18% of Millennials and 16% of older cohorts. Sponsored content and non-intrusive formats generate significantly less negative sentiment than pop-ups or unskippable placements.

HOW TO FIND YOUR BEST CUSTOMERS VIA CLAUDE

Create a single ICP document that defines who to target and who to avoid. Apply it across all channels so only high-quality leads are qualified and passed to sales.

THE REDDIT DETOUR DISTORTING PPC SIGNALS

Reddit is quietly distorting PPC signal quality by intercepting high-intent searches before buyers ever reach an advertiser's page. A study of 8,566 B2B SaaS keywords found Reddit beats every vendor organically 67.3% of the time on terms with $50+ CPCs. When buyers spend days researching on Reddit before clicking an ad, Smart Bidding sees the cost without the conversion and pulls back on the exact terms producing the most qualified leads. Offline conversion tracking is the primary fix, with Google's own data showing a median 10% lift in conversions for advertisers who import downstream outcomes using first-party data alongside click IDs.

GOOGLE ADDS AI SKILLS TO CHROME TO HELP YOU SAVE FAVORITE WORKFLOWS

Google is adding a new Chrome feature called Skills that lets users save and reuse AI prompts through Gemini across any web page. Instead of rewriting prompts, users can trigger saved workflows with a click or shortcut. This makes tasks like summarizing content, comparing products, or modifying recipes faster and repeatable. Google is also launching a library of prebuilt Skills that users can customize.

AGENTIC ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (AEO), ACCORDING TO A GOOGLE SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Addy Osmani, a Software Engineer at Google, explains what Agentic Engine Optimization (AEO) is and how it applies to product documentation sites. AI coding agents already read documentation but leave almost no analytics trace, often spending only about 400 milliseconds on a page while bypassing traditional engagement metrics. A single page can often exceed an agent's token capacity (100K to 200K), which will force truncation or hallucination. Effective AEO requires making docs discoverable, machine-readable, and token-efficient through tools like llms.txt, skill.md, and proper robots.txt access. Brands that adapt early will improve agent success rates and visibility, while those that do not risk silent failures.

YOU ASKED, I ANSWERED: LIST GROWTH, EMAIL DESIGN, AND DELIVERABILITY

Traditional lead magnets are losing impact in an AI-driven, zero-click world. Email list growth now comes from offering real and ongoing value that solves specific audience needs. Use both designed and plain text emails, since design builds engagement while plain text works best for personal messages. Encouraging replies improves deliverability and builds relationships while uncovering useful insights.

YOUR PUBLIC RECORD IS BEING WRITTEN WITHOUT YOU

Your brand is shaped less by what you publish and more by the “public record” across AI outputs, reviews, and third-party content, often before users reach your site. In a zero-click world, decisions are driven by these aggregated signals. These can surface outdated or weak claims if left unchecked. To stay influential, audit how you appear across search and AI, identify which narratives dominate, and publish credible information that is easy to surface and cite.
