Aloha and welcome back to Shark Bites.
I always use Shark Bites as my weekly check in to see if I accomplished what I wanted to last week. Plus, a chance to plan the coming week out.
So I recommend that you spend 5-15 minutes doing that today.
You may be surprised how powerful this is.
And with that out of the way, let’s dive right in to this week’s Shark Bites…
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.
We’ve been talking for a while about how AI is changing the game… but in some ways, it’s changing it in ways we never even dreamed of.
For example, a new ChatGPT agent may mark a turning point for SEO.
Why?
That’s explained in this article here:
OpenAI ChatGPT Agent Marks A Turning Point For Businesses And SEO

The AI Hustle Trap: How to Stop Spinning Your Wheels and Actually Make Money
I've said many times about how leads are the life blood of an agency.
And some people's issues are they just don't put enough leads into their pipeline to make consistent progress.
But that said… a lot of people's problems don't end there.
You see, for a lot of people it's not a “lead problem”—it's an “activity problem”.
What I mean by that is that people aren't able to actively engage their audience at every step of the journey. Meaning that putting in more leads isn't necessarily going to get more clients coming out.
The solution?
The solution was revealed on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session Live Coaching Call.
Tune into the replay now to see:
- AI as a tool not as a trend. This helps you build a real thriving business, not just make a few bucks this week.
- The “Wells Fargo Secret” to making a ton of dough especially in down economies.
- AI-powered “silent sales strategies” that keep money coming in week after week.
- And a whole lot more!
