Perpetual Traffic [2022] Funnels and Google Ads Now a Match Made in Heaven?
Historically, Google advertisers haven’t liked funnels—for a lot of reasons. But is that about to drastically change?
On today’s bite-sized episode, host Kasim Aslam is talking about his favorite topic (cue the sarcasm): funnels.

Now, not only is Kasim rethinking his opinion of funnels, he’s re-evaluating the very definition. “Marketers didn’t invent the funnel,” he says. “A funnel is a natural sequence through which a purchasing decision is made. It exists for your product or service in your industry completely independent of you.” The funnel is with your customer.
