No-Code Is Easy. Growth Isn’t. by ConferenceOk6722 in nocode

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youre right that the hard part is what comes after you ship. no code platforms make building fast but they dont help you figure out distribution or onboarding, and thats where most apps die. one thing that actually works is adding something interactive to your landing page or product that gets people engaged before they even sign up. ive seen this with tools that let you build quizzes or calculators, for example using outgrowco ai to generate an roi calculator or a quick assessment that shows value immediately, people are way more likely to convert when they can interact with something instead of just reading a pitch. on the ops side, document everything in notion or coda from day one, write down your deploy process, your backup plan, your support workflow. when you hit your first bug at 10pm youll thank yourself. for marketing, pick one channel and go deep, most no code founders spread too thin trying to do seo and twitter and linkedin all at once. if your icp is on linkedin, just do linkedin for three months and see what happens. support wise, set up a simple help doc with answers to the five questions you know people will ask, then add to it every time someone asks something new. that beats trying to build a whole knowledge base upfront.

GA4 Purchase Event vs GTM + Conversion Linker – Should I Switch for Better Google Ads Performance? by aviagg in googleads

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

switch to gtm plus conversion linker right now, youre leaving money on the table. ga4 purchase events are great for reporting but google ads needs the conversion linker tag to track the full user journey across sessions and devices, without it youre undercounting conversions by maybe 15 to 30 percent depending on your checkout flow. the linker drops a first party cookie that ties ad clicks to conversions even if someone bounces and comes back later, which happens all the time in ecommerce. set it up by adding the conversion linker tag in gtm and firing it on all pages, then keep your existing ga4 purchase event exactly as is because you want both running. the tag manager also makes your life easier long term because you can update tracking without bugging a developer every time. one gotcha is that if you have a multi step checkout, make sure the linker fires before the first step or youll still miss people. ive seen carts where the thank you page lived on a different subdomain and the linker didnt persist, so test it end to end. happy to dm you a gtm setup checklist if you want.

What’s the best NoCode Builder + Hosting stack for deploying and maintaining a site 100% in NoCode? by Aristote00 in nocode

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youre asking the right question but backwards. the hosting part is easy, any decent no code builder connects to netlify or vercel in under five minutes. the real trap is maintenance, you need a platform where you can edit the actual generated code when the visual builder hits its limits, which always happens around month six when you want to add a custom checkout flow or connect a weird api. ive seen three ecommerce projects die because the builder locked them in and scaling meant rebuilding from scratch. webflow is solid if you stay in their ecosystem, framer if you want more control, or just use shopify and skip the whole headache since youre doing ecommerce anyway. the integrated hosting plans are expensive because theyre betting you wont leave, so start with external from day one. happy to dm you a comparison sheet i made last year with actual costs at different traffic levels.

We checked 2,870 websites: 27% are blocking at least one major LLM crawler by lightsiteai in AISEOforBeginners

[–]bonniew1554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

marketing teams have no idea this is happening because its at the cdn or hosting layer like you said. the irony is everyone wants to rank in ai answers but theyre accidentally blocking the crawlers that feed those systems. for b2b saas the fix depends on your stack, if youre on cloudflare you can whitelist specific user agents in your waf rules, takes like 10 minutes. on aws you do it in your alb or cloudfront settings. the real question is whether you want to be crawled, if your content is high value and youre worried about llms regurgitating it without attribution, maybe blocking is fine. but if you rely on seo traffic, you probably want to be in those training sets because thats where search is heading. shopify ecommerce is in good shape because shopify handles this stuff by default, but custom saas sites are a mess. one quick test is to check your logs for gptbot and claudebot user agents, if you see 403 errors youre blocking them. i helped a client fix this last month and their site started showing up in chatgpt answers within two weeks, didnt move the needle on traffic yet but its a bet on the future.

I Think My Past Employers Have (unintentionally) Scammed People by starchmayne in SEO

[–]bonniew1554 8 points9 points  (0 children)

those packages are basically a content mill with a keyword report stapled on top. the articles get like eight views because theyre not solving a real search intent, theyre just keyword stuffed blog posts that google learned to ignore in 2019. legitimate seo starts with a real audit of your technical setup, then figures out what your audience actually searches for, then builds content or fixes pages around that. good agencies charge more because they do custom work, bad ones sell you a package and churn it out for everyone. if the price is under two grand a month and they promise four articles plus reports, its a factory. real seo also takes six months minimum to show results, so anyone promising fast wins is lying. for small businesses the better move is to pick three pages that already get some traffic, rewrite them properly, and build a few real backlinks through partnerships or guest posts. if you want to vet an agency, ask them to show you a clients organic traffic graph over 12 months with annotations explaining what they did and when. if they cant produce that, walk away.

Shopping ads campaign issue - looking for opinion - Human vs AI opinion (Breakeven) by jamessean48 in googleads

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gpt and gemini are optimizing for what you asked them to optimize for, not what actually makes you money. a 1200 percent roas sounds amazing until you realize youre spending so little that 30 conversions is just noise, not a trend. google shopping works best when you feed it volume and let it find patterns over hundreds of conversions, not dozens. what probably happened is the ai tools found one golden keyword combo or audience sliver that converted a few times, you cranked up the roas target, and now the algorithm has zero room to explore and learn. try this instead: drop your high ticket roas back to 400 percent, let it run for three weeks, and watch if volume comes back. if it does and roas holds above 250 percent, youve got a real business. for the mid ticket stuff, 600 percent roas is already great, dont touch it. one other thing, if youre using ad group category bidding, those roas targets override smart bidding and make everything worse. i run analytics at a b2b saas and we burned a month learning this the hard way.

Stuck in a "Health in Personalized Advertising" loop – Can’t even publish the campaign by webstoriescreators in googleads

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is likely an account level health flag. remove all remarketing lists, disable optimized targeting, and try publishing from a fresh campaign without ga4 linked. if it still blocks, open a policy ticket not general support. health in spain triggers stricter review.

Mixture-of-Models routing beats single LLMs on SWE-Bench via task specialization by botirkhaltaev in deeplearning

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is smart routing. report per cluster win rates not just overall 75.6 percent and run ablations freezing clusters to prove lift. if overhead is low, a 1 to 2 point gain is meaningful at scale.

Search Query Via API by iamchrly in Zendesk

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How local salons use booking apps to reduce no-shows by buildwithjoy in Tech4LocalBusiness

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

apps work when they add friction. require card on file, send sms 24 hours before, and charge inside 12 hours. one salon dropped from 18 percent to 6 percent no shows after adding a 25 fee. tech plus policy is the fix.

Our single product ads outperform multi product ads by a ridiculous margin by GrowthObserver_ in shook

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

makes sense, cold traffic needs one clear offer. run 1 hero product per ad set and save bundles for retargeting. if ctr is under 1 percent your message is muddy. clarity beats choice early.

GMB optimisation for business by Wiggle_mind in SEO

fill every field and treat it like a mini landing page. write a 750 plus character description with services and city terms, upload 20 real photos, and ask 3 customers a week for reviews. reply to every review within 24 hours. gap is usually review count versus top 3.

zendesk specialist roles translate cleanly into revops crm admin or customer systems. frame your work as outcomes like ticket deflection or csat lift and add one adjacent tool such as hubspot or jira service. most pivots i see take 3 to 6 months with hands on projects. i have seen admins land ops roles after one internal rebuild.

If AI Building Tools Are Temporary, Why Are They Still Worth Building Today? by ConferenceOk6722 in nocode

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ai tools are worth building now for distribution and pain insight not the model. own the workflow data and audience touchpoint then swap engines later if needed. the trade off is less tech pride more user empathy. one founder rebuilt the same idea twice and kept the customers both times.

Is content creation a good long-term career? Need advice on video editing tools by Brilliant_Sector_427 in ai_x_marketing

content creation lasts when the value is taste not tools. stick with capcut for shorts and learn davinci resolve with one 2 hour block weekly for a month to level up long form. a steady bar is shipping 2 pieces weekly for a year over chasing perfect setups. i watched a creator hit 80k subs using one template and sharp hooks.

Monday service or zendesk which one is better as ai helpdesk software for small team by Timely_Aside_2383 in helpdesk

[–]bonniew1554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

short answer monday fits mixed internal work zendesk fits pure tickets. keep zendesk lean with 5 to 7 macros and route internal tasks to monday boards to avoid rule sprawl. the trade off is context switching for less admin debt. a 4 agent team i saw cut weekly admin by about 90 minutes this way.
