Next Webinar - October 2: How to Turn First Impressions into Long-Term Customer Success

Most B2B companies treat onboarding like a UX checklist, focused on removing friction, adding tooltips, and hoping new users will “get it.” But making a product easier isn’t enough to win lasting adoption, expansion, or advocacy.

The real challenge is turning that critical first impression into long-term customer success, especially when you ask teams to embrace new ways of working.

In this practical session, Ramli John will expose the overlooked human barriers—social and emotional resistance—that most B2B onboarding efforts ignore.

You’ll learn why first impressions in B2B products set the tone for retention and revenue growth, and how siloed GTM teams and “feature hand-holding” leave users stuck in the status quo.

Through actionable frameworks and stories, you’ll discover how to create unified onboarding journeys that drive genuine behavior change.

Whether you work in sales, marketing, product, or customer success—launching a product, scaling adoption, or overhauling onboarding for enterprise clients—this session will help you go beyond UI fixes and transform your first impression into a foundation for lifelong customer value.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  1. The three types of friction that prevent B2B users and teams from embracing new products and workflows.
  2. How your GTM B2B teams can work together to build onboarding experiences that stick, deepen engagement, and expand accounts over time.
  3. How to build an AI Copilot that unites your teams around solving real customer pain points and creates a long-lasting onboarding experience.

The entire SEO Power Suite is on a HUGE 79% lifetime discount for a few days. Use my affiliate link below to get the product. It's worth it for many reasons; a few that I use almost daily? Local rank tracking - you can get localized results based on the location you choose. Another thing is I can track an unlimited number of keywords - and for some projects, they help a lot. Plus, I love the interface - it's intuitive - compared to other tools. Check it out.

Oh, and yes, the Rank Tracker introduce the AI Overview reporting ;)

We ran the Terry Fox Marathon

This was my 4th time running (I thought it was the 5th) - and I managed to raise some money (there's still room to donate to finish the goal).

https://run.terryfox.ca/team/howaboutsomemarketing

I registered the team under the How About Some Marketing? umbrella and I was blessed to have a few supporters joining. One of them, a former webinar guest and master communicator, Andrew Mertens.

As I plan to have this newsletter be more general, I started writing more on my LinkedIn blog. Aiming to share daily logs, covering marketing (ads, creatives, etc.) to art, sports, mentorship, coaching, business, leadership and whatever's worth making our lives better. Here's the link to Em's Logs.

And this is the short of the day! My promo for the upcoming webinar!

For the song of the day...

I've been (trying to be) in focus mode so these playlists with no vocals help. There's a market for them and I believe I'm picking up DJ again, as a hobby, starting mixing these types of songs.

News and Articles Worth Mentioning

I asked Kevin from Organic Growth to curate the news for our newsletter. Curious to know what your thoughts are - hit reply to let us know what kind of news you'd like to see here.

Google Search Tests Dropping 100 Search Results Parameter

The talk of the week was on this topic, as most SEOs have seen a significant decrease in clicks and impressions in their Google Search Console reports as you can see below - and many/most (also, as you can see below) see an upward trend.

A few say that those were more of the real results and that the rest of the impressions and clicks were from scrapers. Seems to much if you ask me.

You can read more about this here and an example of how the tools will reach to this here. There's also this article Were We Wrong About “The Great Decoupling” After All? Analyzing the Impact of &num=100 extremely interesting to read (and which I see it's constantly updated).

Here's my take - we forget that everything comes at a HUGE cost; and since Google kind of got away with almost everything so far, they do what's best for their shareholders (making money). It's not unlikely that one department does something affecting other departments (one might think that the search and the GSC teams are connected - and they are, but not as much as one thinks).

Keeping a close eye and keep doing the best practices.

How to Optimize for AI Mode Using Query Fan-Outs and User Context

Extremely useful webinar with some hands-on example and great graphic demonstration of how LLM works and how we/you can optimize our content to get picked up by the LLMs. Hosted by iPullRank and Mike King with Andrea Volpini - name dropping as it matters when you choose to click (or not).

Curated by Em

Correlation between AI Overview links and "top 10 pages" is 76%

Which is quite a bit of overlap. Google says AI Overviews are not created from "Google classic" search results, but for this statistic to be true there must be significant overlap in how webpage relevance and quality is judged.

THE AI SEARCH MANUAL

I haven't gone through the entire thing but man isn't this THE resource when it comes to LLM "rankings"? If you're in digital marketing and creating content, please take the time to read the entire thing.

I've printed the above - because I feel I'm too attached to my traditional SEO mindset.

Large Language Models Can't Handle ALL Your Data Problems

This one article was shared by Dana DiTomaso during our webinar and it's a more detailed explanation on ho the AI LLMs work and why they are not the data analyst you were hoping they are.

Curated by Em

Are LLMs.txt Files Being Implemented Across the Web?

The short answer is NO. Do I have one? Sure. Do I create one for each brand/client I work with? Sure. There are reports left and right about it using it or not. Should we know about it? For sure.
