The Problem with the Math of Averages in Lead Generation

The podcast discusses the problem of using the math of averages in lead generation. When firing conversion events for every lead that comes in, there is a risk of receiving fake or low-quality leads. Click farms and bots can skew lead data, and Google's algorithm may not be able to differentiate between good and bad leads. It is important to manually review and verify leads to ensure their quality before signaling their value to Google.
