Issue #326 | December 7th 2025
Aloha and welcome to the first December edition of Shark Bites…
It’s been a long year and December—the final month—is here.
What does that mean?
It means it’s a good time to look back on the last year and plan out your business conquests for 2026.
To help you do it, let’s dive right in…
If you’d like to write in your wins and be featured, you can do so inside of the Remote Marketing Agency Owners Private Facebook Group. Remember to use “#win” so we can feature you in next week’s “Catch of the Week”.
Welcome to “Pirate’s Booty” – a curated stash of local marketing news and content for your reading pleasure.
Not every agency needs to use YouTube… but if you do, this is a cool new feature that just got added. It’s a way to A/B test titles and it will be rolling out to all creators soon!

YouTube Title A/B Testing Rolls Out Globally To Creators
Next… Cloudflare is at it again with outages triggering a fresh wave of 5xx errors. If you’ve been affected by this or want to avoid it in the future, you can find more info about it in this article:
Cloudflare Outage Returns, Triggering Fresh Wave Of 5xx Errors
Live Show Was Cancelled This Week
Why?
Long story short, SmartDirectoryAI had an outage so the entire team (me included) spent the entire day trying to get it back up and running as quickly as possible.
That’s how much we care about always giving you the best!
Even if I personally have to jump on calls with a support team to make it happen… I will.
Right now you can still save big on SmartDirectoryAI and HighLevel as part of our Black Friday sale.
But the deadline is Tonight, Sunday, December 7th at Midnight Pacific.
If you want to check that out, you can do so here:
The Captain’s Log
Here you can find the latest YouTube videos from our Captains Tom and Nick. They’re putting out new videos all the time, so check back each week for new goodies.
That’s all for now.
And remember:
2026 is mere weeks away. So start thinking about what you could’ve improved on in 2025. And make plans to make that happen in 2026.
Talk soon!
Mahalo,
Tom Gaddis
