Why Roofers Are Being Lied To About Zero-Click Search and Google Leads
About this episode
Everyone is talking about AI, zero-click searches, and the death of Google Ads. But is that actually what's happening?
In this episode, Jim Ahlin digs into the numbers behind the headlines and explains why Google isn't walking away from advertising anytime soon. More importantly, he shares what roofing companies should be focusing on today to generate more leads, waste less ad spend, and stay competitive as search continues to evolve.
If you're investing in Google Ads, paying an agency, or wondering how AI will impact your marketing, this episode will help you separate the hype from what's really happening.
