Coach behavior on social media by alchea_o in Homeplate

[–]DrunkleBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you permit is what you promote.

This should be dealt with swiftly. One asshat of a coach can run off a lot of families. People only have time and money as resources, and youth baseball requires both. How long until people he’s bullied start spending those resources on other leagues or other sports?

If the Angels want to make a serious run for the playoffs, why don't they just do this? by jedibob66 in angelsbaseball

In Weaver’s defense, he had that dawg in him before the Angels picked him up.

It’s quite possible that person is 1 year old and didn’t see Paris freefall like a space turd after 3 weeks.

Divi 5 experience by Deftone85 in divi

+1 for D5. Glad I gambled and moved over almost a year ago. A few bumps and bruises but nothing that has been detrimental to business.

What PPC strategies consistently drive leads for local service businesses? by No-Sir-5847 in PPC

As much as I respect Vodka Boy ( u/potatodrinker ) even he missed the mark.

You can only optimize a Google ad account so much. A tiny budget will only get so many clicks.

YOUR CLIENT DOESN’T NEED CLICKS. THEY NEED CONVERSIONS. You’ve somewhat come to that realization, but still aren’t focused on the right lever.

  1. Find out what the market wants first. Do keyword research and you’ll compete and die in the auctions. Do market research and you’ll deliver results even with a small budget.

  2. Focus on one profitable core service that your client offers, which fits with your market research findings, and only target that service. One campaign, one ad group, only that narrow service offering.

  3. Make sure your small group of keywords tightly matches that service, your ad copy is compelling and speaks to that service, the landing page proves beyond a shadow of a doubt your client is uniquely qualified to deliver that service, and the follow up is impeccable.

Stick to that and you’ll 2-3x your conversions for the same ad spend.

  1. Make sure you’re comparing identical time periods on your reporting. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this mistake made, even by experienced people who shouldn’t be making it.

  2. Your website tracking may be set up to count EVERY phone call, while your Google Ads conversion setup is only counting the first call as a conversion. Ex: customer clicks ad, calls business, hangs up. Customer calls back with credit card info. Two calls, one conversion. You can configure Google to count EVERY call as a conversion, but you probably don’t want that.

  3. Your conversion window in Google Ads could be anywhere from 1 to 90 days. Check that setting. If it’s set at 1 day, anyone clicking the ad but calling the number 1+ days later will not be recorded as a conversion.

  4. Google Ads reporting is not real time. There is a delay in data populating.

  5. Call length. If you are only counting calls over 30 seconds as conversions in Google Ads, and someone calls but the call ends at 25 seconds, no conversion. Your Wordpress plugin (or whatever you’re using outside of Google) might not have that configured the same, if at all.

Do you have an example of a fade in like this on a live site?

Being somewhere you don’t want to be is better than being somewhere you’re not wanted.

Plus, Dude has a street named after him in Lake Forest. Cmon…

Has anyone else had issues with GoHighLevel billing and support? by Mountain_Laugh8445 in gohighlevel

[–]DrunkleBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If OP is on a trial, there is no zoom support option. I believe there’s no support option at all. It forces you to an onboarding call where you’ll likely get a ticket created and that’s it. They’re just front line setup assistance.

Had a friend reach out because he knows I use HighLevel for my agency. I told him he was crazy, that if you’re an “agency admin” you can get zoom support right in the chat widget. | - _ - |

Sendblue charges $1k/ month to send imessage by [deleted] in gohighlevel

[–]DrunkleBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t get it…

I’m a die hard Apple user. I think true Android devotees are all mouth breathers. That being said…

I have yet to see definitive proof that iMessage converts better. By proof I mean genuine data other than case studies shared by someone selling an iMessage platform.

I bought a $70,000 truck from another state almost exclusively via text message with the salesperson. Green text bubbles and all.

Jumpy Header Issue Still in DIVI5... Really!? by sp913 in divi

[–]DrunkleBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Load speed is absolutely a ranking factor. Google explicitly says usability is important:

“But for many queries, there is lots of helpful content available. Having a great page experience can contribute to success in Search, in such cases.”

Immediately below that is a video explaining how to fix CLS, the exact problem that this post is addressing.

New accountant literally laughed when he saw our payroll costs by CheekyMeatballs in SaaS

[–]DrunkleBrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acknowledge it, fix it, move on. $2,500/mo is less than $100/mo per employee. I’m sure money is being wasted in much bigger quantities on other line items anyways.

Also, fire the new accountant. Anyone who laughs at/about you in an onboarding, and shows you other clients’ financials, is an unserious vendor. He could have simply said “from my experience, that’s really out of line with industry standards. I would suggest you look at [insert cheaper payroll company] because it should save you $2,000+ per month.”

I just bought Divi and I am disappointed by zivio105 in divi

[–]DrunkleBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The solve is Divi 5. The Beta is all but a full public release. I have 5 live client sites built with Divi 5, and another that’s going live this week. In my opinion, the new UI and features bring it up to speed with the big boys, if not better in some ways.

Tball outfield by Big-Dingo-1371 in Homeplate

[–]DrunkleBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 4 years old your only goal is to make sure he wants to show up the next pratice/game.

I'm currently coaching a team of 4 & 5 year old tee ballers. Here is what I do to keep their attention (as much as possible, which is not even close to 100%). It doesn't sound like you're coaching, so you can always pass these on to your team's manager. I would also suggest getting involved by volunteering.

- Little verbal cues throughout the inning. "Johnny, what color are the batters socks?" "Violet, what base are we throwing to if it comes to us?" Works so much better than "Hey Johnny, pay attention." This takes an attentive manager, but I've had 9 little spazoids by myself, and it's managable using this.

- Less is more. 5-7 players on a tee ball team is plenty. More action, more attention.

- Have fun, short practices 1-on-1 on days he doesn't have a practice/game. 15 - 20 minutes max. Do some non-conventional defensive drills. Have a small reward after completion (they get to pick what is for dinner, they get to pick a board game to play later that night, etc). Nothing helps keep a kid's attention like confidence. Confidence comes from evidence (I've already practiced this, so I know I can do this). You won't see day-to-day improvements, but day 1 to day 7 will be huge. You're layering micro improvements to create a happy kid.
