    Ep 33: Zero-Click Marketing & the End of Click-Based ROI with Amanda Natividad

    “About two-thirds of Google searches now end without a click. We can’t build strategies that depend on clicks happening anymore.” — Amanda Natividad In this episode of The ChangeOver Podcast, Chelsea Drusch is joined by Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro, for a grounded, practitioner-first conversation about why clicks are disappearing — and why that doesn’t mean marketing is broken. Amanda breaks down what zero-click marketing really means, why platforms are structurally designed to keep users on-platform, and how this shift forces marketers to rethink attribution, ROI, and success metrics altogether. Drawing on SparkToro’s research and her own decade-plus career in the trenches, she makes a compelling case for moving beyond click obsession toward impressions, visibility, and value on investment (VOI). For industrial B2B marketers facing skeptical stakeholders, shrinking organic reach, and unreliable analytics, this episode offers clarity and a healthier, more realistic way forward. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: [09:11] What zero-click marketing actually means: Delivering value in-platform instead of forcing traffic elsewhere [10:07] Why clicks are disappearing: How Google, social platforms, and AI tools incentivize staying put [13:56] Why attribution is breaking down: Dark social, hidden referrals, and misleading “direct” traffic [17:34] From ROI to VOI: Measuring marketing impact through business-wide value, not just conversions [21:56] How industrial marketers should reframe success: Visibility, impressions, and brand lift as leading indicators CONNECT WITH US: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/weidert-group/ Instagram: instagram.com/weidertgroup/ Facebook: facebook.com/weidertgroup X: x.com/WeidertGroup YouTube: youtube.com/@Weidert Website: weidert.com/changeoverpodcast CONNECT WITH OUR HOST AND GUEST: Chelsea Drusch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelseadrusch/ Amanda Natividad: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandanat/ CHECK OUT SPARKTORO: https://sparktoro.com/ SPARKTORO BLOG: https://sparktoro.com/blog/

    Ep 32: Why Unified Data Efforts Fail — and How Manufacturers Can Fix It

    Manufacturers don’t have a data problem: they have a change management problem. In this episode, Frank sits down with Erik Henry of Simplified Data Solutions to break down why data unification fails, the weaknesses AI exposes inside disconnected systems, and how leaders can finally transform their mountains of data into real, revenue-driving insight. Erik works at the intersection of operations, analytics, leadership, and organizational change, helping manufacturers move beyond spreadsheets and fragmented workflows to build integrated, insight-producing data systems that actually support growth. Together, they unpack the cultural, behavioral, and leadership obstacles that absolutely must be addressed before any technology initiative, certainly including AI, can succeed. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 07:35 – Why manufacturers collect data but can’t use it: Unstructured data and the “gold mine” myth 08:17 – What’s driving urgency now: AI exposes outdated systems. Data + Context = Insight 10:43 – Unified data in marketing & sales: personalization opportunities 13:50 – The #1 reason unification fails: misaligned people 18:15 – Why AI projects collapse: the prerequisite everyone overlooks 22:23 – Identity vs. process: why people resist letting go of “their” spreadsheets 24:16 – Evaluating ROI: friction, opportunity, and the “squishy” middle 29:38 – The first two steps leaders should take to make progress CONNECT WITH US: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/weidert-group/ Instagram: instagram.com/weidertgroup/ Facebook: facebook.com/weidertgroup X: x.com/WeidertGroup YouTube: youtube.com/@Weidert Website: weidert.com/changeoverpodcast CONNECT WITH OUR HOST AND GUEST: Frank Isca: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankisca/ Erik Henry: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-henry-mba/

    Ep 31: How Falcon Rebuilt Industrial AI Search Visibility

    Falcon’s VP of Marketing & Sales, Krista Short, joins host Chelsea Drusch to share how her team navigated one of the biggest shifts industrial marketers have faced in a decade: the collapse of traditional organic traffic and the rise of AI-driven discovery. Falcon once relied on a disciplined inbound engine: weekly blogs, tight keyword models, and a well-oiled SEO program. Then 2024 happened. Traffic dropped. MQLs slipped. But the leads that mattered most didn’t budge. That discrepancy became the catalyst for a complete strategic reset. Together, Falcon and Weidert Group rebuilt the discovery engine around AI search visibility, commercial-intent content, and new top-of-funnel pathways that actually match how industrial buyers search today. Three guiding questions anchor this episode: What happens when traffic falls but sales stay strong? Where are industrial buyers actually discovering solutions in an AI-first world? What does a modern content program look like when weekly blogs stop moving the needle?Krista shares how Falcon shifted from keyword chasing to audience-backed experiments, including digital PR, entity-driven visibility, deep topic ecosystems, and early AEO strategy. She also explains why internal KPIs had to evolve… and why bravery is now a core marketing skill. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 01:00 – Inbound foundations: Falcon’s early SEO success and why it stopped working02:35 – Search intent vs. keywords: how AI reshaped discovery behaviors06:18 – The first red flag: when traffic tanked but sales-ready leads didn’t10:09 – Reallocating resources toward experiments, not routines13:02 – Digital PR, entity visibility, and why sites like Wikipedia matter16:29 – Using clickstream data and sales feedback to shape content ecosystems18:33 – Shifting from keyword calendars to problem-first content ecosystems26:24 – Advice to industrial marketers stepping into the unknownCONNECT WITH US: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/weidert-group/ Instagram: instagram.com/weidertgroup/ Facebook: facebook.com/weidertgroup X: x.com/WeidertGroup YouTube: youtube.com/@Weidert Website: weidert.com/changeoverpodcast CONNECT WITH OUR HOST AND GUEST: Chelsea Drusch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelseadrusch/ Krista Short: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristashort/

    Ep 30: Zero-Click, AI, & the New Search Reality | Navigating Changes in Search Behavior with Dale Bertrand

    In this episode of The ChangeOver, Weidert Group’s Chelsea Drusch sits down with SEO expert Dale Bertrand to unpack the seismic shifts AI and zero-click search are bringing to digital marketing. Dale explains why the old playbook of keyword targeting and technical tricks no longer works — and how today’s search engines, powered by AI, reward content that delivers real value to buyers. Together, Chelsea and Dale explore how marketers can adapt by focusing on topical relevance, audience research, and brand reputation inside generative platforms like ChatGPT. From reframing traffic declines as higher-quality leads to balancing SEO with “generative engine optimization,” this conversation helps marketers understand what it takes to stay visible when answers, not links, are the new search results. Whether you’re a strategist rethinking your KPIs, a content creator trying to reach buyers in a zero-click world, or a marketing leader navigating stakeholder expectations, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and practical next steps for thriving in the Age of AI. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 02:17 Dale’s path from software engineering to SEO expert and marketing agency leader 04:30 Why topical relevance now matters more than keyword targeting05:49 Why technical SEO “tricks” no longer work07:41 Balancing technical optimization with audience-first content creation13:00 Zero-click search explained, and why AI platforms are “qualifying” your traffic, not stealing it16:42 Traffic down, revenue up: why quality matters more than volume22:10 Why direct attribution was always a dream, and which metrics matter now28:13 The marketer’s choice: metrics monkey or true strategist33:16 The difference between AEO and GEO (or does terminology even matter?)CONNECT WITH US: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/weidert-group/ Instagram: instagram.com/weidertgroup/ Facebook: facebook.com/weidertgroup X: x.com/WeidertGroup YouTube: youtube.com/@Weidert Website: weidert.com/changeoverpodcast CONNECT WITH OUR HOST AND GUEST: Chelsea Drusch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelseadrusch/ Dale Bertrand: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dalebertrand/
