    How to Structure a Product Feed That Converts | Joey Bidner

    Getting your product feed right can make or break your Google Shopping performance. If your titles are vague, fields are missing, or Shopify is sending the wrong data, you end up wasting ad spend and missing out on high intent buyers who are ready to purchase. The good news is that most of these problems are fixable once you understand how Google actually reads your feed. In this episode, Joey Bidner walks through how to properly set up and optimize your product feed so Google can match your products to the best possible searches. He explains the most important fields to focus on, how to write strong titles and descriptions, and the difference between Google product category and product type. Joey also shares when you should use third party tools like DataFeedWatch or Simprosys, how to handle GTINs, common Shopify integration mistakes, and a real example of how small tweaks led to better search terms and more sales. Joey Bidner is a Google Ads specialist who helps businesses around the world drive leads and sales using Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube, and remarketing campaigns. He is hands on with tools like Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Merchant Center, and Data Studio, and uses data to make campaigns more profitable over time. With extra experience in content marketing, print, events, e-commerce, and both B2B and B2C sales, Joey brings a practical, full picture view to digital advertising.

    How iPullRank drove 661% growth in ChatGPT visibility for a Fortune 500 Brand | Mike King

    AI search is transforming how people discover information online. Instead of competing for clicks on a results page, the new challenge is earning visibility within conversational answers. For enterprise brands, that shift represents both a risk and an opportunity, and those who learn to optimize for large language models (LLMs) are already seeing measurable growth in exposure and trust. In this episode, Mike King shares how his agency iPullRank achieved a 661% increase in ChatGPT visibility for a Fortune 500 brand using the Relevance Engineering framework he developed. He explains the content restructuring and semantic optimization tactics that led to the results, how to format pages for retrieval in AI systems, and which tools actually help, including Market Brew and Profound. Mike breaks down off-page strategies that still matter, how to measure visibility across AI platforms, and what metrics to focus on beyond clicks and traffic.  Mike King is an award-winning marketing leader, SEO expert, and founder of iPullRank, a top digital marketing agency trusted by brands like Adidas, American Express, and MGM Resorts. Known for blending SEO, content strategy, and generative AI, Mike’s campaigns have driven over $4 billion in client revenue. Recognized by USA Today and LinkedIn as a top voice in SEO, he has spoken at major conferences including SXSW and MozCon.
