Supply chain issues and wage growth have been pushing the Fed to raise rates faster than ever, but despite these strong headwinds, there is no reason to give up on your sales goals. Interest rates are high, and it looks as if they will stay that way through the rest of 2023. We may avoid a recession, but the business environment has been affected by the rising costs following the pandemic.

This article was co-authored by Andrew Ansley. Things, not strings. If you haven’t heard this before, it comes from a famous Google blog post that announced the Knowledge Graph. The announcement’s 11th anniversary is only a month away, yet many still struggle to understand what “things, not strings” really means for SEO. The quote is an attempt to convey that Google understands things and is no longer a simple keyword detection algorithm.

The very best startups will be able to raise at higher than 10x ARR. The rest may get offers below 10x ARR. After all, the average public SaaS company right now trades at about 6x ARR : But it’s not quite that simple.

In a previous story , we looked at the importance for data analysis of avoiding bias and choosing the right metrics. In this follow-up we discuss the importance of confronting “analytical reality.” Data analysis is supposed to replace hunches with facts. Brands don’t want to risk millions of campaign dollars on someone’s gut instinct. The marketer, ideally, has a goal, a clear threshold of success that must be crossed to achieve results.

Google will soon retire four rules-based attribution models in Google Ads and Google Analytics: First-click. Linear. Time decay. Position-based. Why we care. This will impact anyone who still uses these models in Google Ads. Anything that isn’t last-click will be much harder to track because the data-driven attribution formula is different for each advertiser – and not visible. “In the past, you could use linear and give each touch the same credit.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

Google first turned to artificial intelligence and machine learning to power its search engine algorithm back in 2016. With ChatGPT ‘s launch in late 2022, however, artificial intelligence truly became mainstream and significantly impacted the SEO industry. While some believe these changes have been for the better, others have argued that they have made things worse.

If you’re a B2B company, ecommerce is a necessity for your business. As a McKinsey & Company study found, 65% of B2B companies sold exclusively online in 2022.
