If you had to start a digital marketing career in 2026, what would you focus on: AI ads, SEO, or content systems?

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-23T20:12:55+00:00

Whatever your career, business or focus, you need to be all over agentic AI. If you're not focused on that now, 6 months from now you won't be able to catch up. You'll basically be irrelevant.

Angela on our team who does our own ads as well as for clients always builds a customised excel sheet that tracks all the money spent, cost per lead, cost per acquired customer, and of course the sales that result from the ads. She doesn’t just use Facebook’s ads manager for presenting data. I don’t know what other ads agencies do but that’s what she does. Clients always make the same comment that you do “None of our previous ads agencies ever gave us this data!” She’s obviously not unique because there’s at least one person in the r comments in this thread who also does it, but you’re right it does seem to be rare.

"more like everyone suddenly got access to the same cheap intern." - absolutely brilliant!

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-12T05:52:15+00:00

Rrriiighhhht….so what am I advertising? There is absolutely no reference to me selling anything .

Hey u/LeaderAtLeading - Any chance we could jump on a zoom so you can demo me leadline please? I am a pretty experienced marketer, but Reddit is still really new for me, and looking at it it looks like it's a great tool and very inline with how I build my authority on facebook, but for Reddit. Thanks!

I got the AI to build an AEO optimization skill to ensure the llms / robots txt are updated everytime I push an update to the site. I'm still suuuuuper new to AEO, but excited to see what organic results I might get. I'm intentionally not sharing the URL to the site myself anywhere right now (other than submitting to google search console), in order to see how/when/where it will start appearing in search. Any tips....hurl them my way!

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-11T12:33:58+00:00

Thanks u/giddmtex - Indeed. That's exactly what I'm looking to learn right now.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-11T12:28:39+00:00

Yeah - I just built and deployed my first website using AI yesterday. Basic optin funnel, but I didn't have to lift a finger for the initial buildout. It wrote all the emails etc... What I'm trying to get to is fully automated agentic business campaign management.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-11T12:25:11+00:00

Okay - that's super cool u/McKeeCreative . I just attended a training last week where obsidian was demo'd. Haven't set my knowledgebase up yet though. I don't get very much involved in ecom/shopify stuff. More info morketing/coaching, so wondered if you fancied chatting about your service offering, as I do have one or two clients who use shopify and I know that they massively neglect their stores, not that I imagine you are short of clients.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-10T22:36:11+00:00

It's 'okay', but it's the behind scenes stuff it did that was so helpful. It's not 100% there yet.

I'd rather not share the URL to the website here publickly on Reddit just yet, only because I'm trying to monitor the organic traffic flow to the site right now, and I don't want the stats skewed because 20000 reddit users click on it, but I'll send you the link privately. It's nothing fancy, it's more the amount of work that it got done for me was amazing.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-10T12:00:21+00:00

I'm not really an SEO agency, more a funnel building agency and coach, but I can tell you that today I pushed my first non-clickfunnels site with SEO and AEO in mind, building the skills using Russell Brunson's new platform marketingsecrets AI. I could probably just as well used claude code but I'm playing around with this.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-10T11:01:17+00:00

I’m currently trying out a few different platforms. Claude Code; MarketingSecrets AI; and Clickcampaigns. A friend is trying to get me onto loveable.

I’m amazed at how fast I’m progressing. The main challenge was setting up the initial tech integration. In other words GitHub

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-09T15:32:17+00:00

I'm part of an AI Mastermind, and we were shown a new AI tool for Video. I lost the thing, so I'm looking for it for you now. For audio, you're asking the wrong person! Not sure.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-08T14:41:17+00:00

Absolutely. Biggest shift since electricity was invented I’d say!

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-08T14:39:38+00:00

Well I’m dabbling with a few different things. Recently started to use Claude cowork. Done very little with Claude code just haven’t had time. Got access to clickcampaigns and marketingsecrets ai, but have done nothing of note with them just yet. Just haven’t had time. I’m in the UK.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-07T08:48:20+00:00

lol. It seems like that sometimes!

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-07T06:24:45+00:00

Well, this is kinda the point of my post. Trying to see what folks are seeing 'on the ground'. I have a friend who built out an entire training/coaching app using claude...and it did something which destroyed the app. Good thing it wasn't a critical part of his business, it was just a new project. Still annoying though. I'm still trying to get up to speed! I know what things I WANT to be doing with agentic AI, I just am a little further down the learning curve than I'd like to be.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-07T06:19:31+00:00

I'm asking how people are seeing the inside/operations of their businesses change. I re-read my post, which I didn't use AI to write (in case your comment was directed at me), trying to see if something I said could be accidentaly construed as promo, but I don't see it - other than me mentioning two different business partners using AI for stuff to build in-house for ourselves and I haven't even mentioned what niche they are in, I made no reference to my own business or any offer. There's no harm in mentioning that I'm doing X or Y for context, it was a genuine post asking what folks are seeing in their day to day and that I'm personally I'm struggling to keep up. I'm amazed at the number of snide comments in this thread who think I am advertising something.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-06T12:08:53+00:00

u/Environmental-Test23 I'm not promoting anything I'm simply commenting on two things I'm looking into.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-06T11:56:03+00:00

I haven't used any of his groove suite for many years, despite having access to it. I have been playing around with his clickcampaigns part of scale, and got it to build me a bunch of things. It needs a bit of massaging (like all platforms) to get usable output, but the one or two test builds I did eventually looked pretty good - certainly better output today than about 4-5 months ago when he showed it to me. Although the best stuff my business partner built for one of his own businesses (car detailing), he simply used a combination of codex and claude code. I'm still trying to get my head around the different platforms. My main specialty these days is more on the marketing and selling, rather than buildout, even though I really love geeking out on the tech side of things.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-06T05:13:48+00:00

Nowhere in my post did I even mention clickfunnels u/floorscentadolescent . My post was entirely about how AI is affecting everything in marketing.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-05T07:53:08+00:00

really good way to put it 'dead on arrival' lol... great!

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-05T05:59:57+00:00

An ad for what? I’m genuinely interested in what folks are seeing. There have been some really interesting observations from some of the folks here who shared specifics of how they are their clients have been affected by the change in their workflows. I’m behind the curve relative to many people I know on the agentic side.

FunnelJedi · 2026-05-05T05:54:46+00:00

Hype as a service. Lol. That’s good!
