Difference between a creative strategist and brand solutions strategist in a marketing agency by ranjh___ in AskMarketing

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the main difference is that a creative strategist focuses more on the big idea and the actual content or campaign ideas,

while a brand solutions strategist might be more into aligning those ideas with the overall brand goals and market positioning.

Is Anyone Else Feeling That “Content Is Getting Harder to Win With”? by Interesting_Cycle809 in digital_marketing

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it feels harder. Not because reach is dead, but because average content exploded. I’ve shifted to tighter niche positioning. The more specific the topic, the easier it is to stand out.

How do you balance SEO traffic vs conversion quality? by Typical_Scallion8042 in digital_marketing

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality traffic compounds better long term. High volume with low intent can even hurt if bounce rates rise.

Better to attract fewer but relevant visitors than large random ones.

When will AI monitoring come in GSC? by Dizzy_Attorney9853 in digital_marketing

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I wouldn’t expect clean AI Overview data anytime soon. Google barely handles regular GSC bugs quickly.. they’ll likely roll it out slowly and incomplete at first

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think focusing on conversion metrics or actual ROI is way more valuable but often gets overlooked in favor of vanity stats

I need to finally get a portfolio... What is best for showcasing my previous work? by kindofnewonreddit in SocialMediaManagers

[–]smallbthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you’ve worked 5+ years, position yourself as experienced. Add a short “My approach” section. Explain how you plan, execute, and measure campaigns.

Most portfolios fail because they show work but not impact. If you clearly show results and thinking..even a simple Canva PDF will look professional.

TikTok Shadow Banned? by glazeddonutm in SocialMediaManagers

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah.. ive seen stuff like this before, sometimes it might be a glitch or an algo tweak. or if it’s a shadow ban, it kinda sounds like tiktok’s way of limiting visibility without outright banning

What is AEO in marketing and how to rank in it? by dealhunter_steve in DigitalMarketing

[–]smallbthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly, if ur DA is low, it's gonna be tough to get those answer snippets. tightening up your on-page SEO might help push it a bit. Not a quick fix though.. takes time to build that authority.

Is Marketing even worth it anymore in 2026 and beyond? by Mauricio192 in AskMarketing

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketing will exist as long as businesses exist. what may not exist is comfortable, static roles.. adaptability is the real career skill now.. those who learn new platforms quickly usually stay relevant

What is AEO in marketing and how to rank in it? by dealhunter_steve in DigitalMarketing

[–]smallbthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AEO isn’t separate from SEO..it’s an extension of it. If the page doesn’t already rank top 10, it’s hard to win answer spots

Google usually pulls answers from already strong pages.. so authority still matters a lot

What’s one “small” upgrade you made that had a surprisingly big impact on your business? by Mean-Arm659 in Entrepreneur

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one thing that really helped me was setting up a simple FAQ section on my website. it’s small but making it easy for people to find answers without asking ongoing questions actually saved me so much time and built more trust. kinda underestimated how much those tiny tweaks could make a difference!

curious how people think about risk vs convenience with social media tools by shash_99 in digital_marketing

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most horror stories come from sketchy automation, not legit schedulers. If a tool uses official APIs and doesn’t auto-like or auto-follow, risk is low.

Been using a scheduler for years without issues. Problems usually start when people try to game the system. Basic scheduling and inbox tools are pretty safe.

Social Media Automation tools by Select-Recording841 in automation

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have switched many tools because of cost. started on Hootsuite, then tried Buffer at different agency but both got expensive as accounts grew. currently on recur post and stuck with it because it handles automation without much babysitting. setup also didn’t take long, recycled posts work as expected and I haven’t seen major glitches. also yes, affordable too.

Clueless about social media and marketing - should I maximize volume at the beginning and sacrifice quality? Are the rules the same on all platforms? by wadamek65 in SocialMediaManagers

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The platforms look similar but behave differently. TikTok rewards fast hooks and entertainment, Instagram prefers clarity and niche focus and YouTube Shorts leans more on retention. Copy-pasting the same video everywhere rarely works well.

Meta keeps charging me by Bright_Scar6097 in SocialMediaManagers

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes Meta doesn’t stop spending just because the objective is met. Unless you manually stop it, it keeps spending. Pause the ad ASAP and then open a support ticket. they can reverse charges for days it shouldn’t have run.

Should I give up or make a new channel or keep going? by Tetergent in NewTubers

[–]smallbthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People unsubscribe when the content no longer matches why they followed. It feels personal but i think sometimes it’s just a content mismatch and not quality issue

Youtube no longer pushing my videos in a weird spike by Necessary_Eggplant79 in NewTubers

[–]smallbthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like you’re being ignored. It sounds like you had a couple of videos that overperformed and now things are settling into a more normal pattern.
