The Marketing Book Podcast
Mike Templeman, Founder and CEO of Foxtail Marketing, joins the Content Pros Podcast to discuss the advantage of experience optimization and tailoring content to fit the reality of your customer’s behavior.
Search Experience Optimization
Search Experience OptimizationAs a full funnel agency, Foxtail Marketing is experienced at analyzing your entire customer’s journey and what needs to be delivered to them, when it should arrive, and in what format to optimize conversions. Taking into consideration that they have grown from two employees to over 60 in just under two years, it is clear they are very good at what they’re doing. It’s not that they are the most prolific content creators out there but it’s what they do with their (and their customer’s) content that sets them apart.
To sum it up nicely, data rules everything around.
Mike is a strong believer that everything is quantitative and data can measure anything. Even something as theoretical as customer experience can, and should, be analyzed and used to build organic growth. The days of SEO are over and we now sit squarely in the era of customer experience.

After having two separate dolphins in two different countries toss him a ball, Mike was convinced he was meant to be a marine biologist.
