Are you drowning your leads with follow-up after follow-up? It’s a mistake many service-based businesses make, thinking more is better. But in reality, too much follow-up could be killing your sales instead of helping them.

In today’s episode, we dive into a common problem many health and wellness businesses face: low conversion rates after generating quality leads. Lauren shares an in-depth example from one of her clients who was generating tons of leads but only achieving a 5% booking rate. We explore why this happens and how you can fix it.

From the crucial need for accurate data tracking to the importance of defining a "qualified lead," we outline the tweaks to your sales funnel that will boost lead conversions and significantly reduce your marketing spend.

In This Episode:

- Case study of high leads and low conversion rates

- Sample lead qualification and conversion framework

- Estimating the value of opt-ins

- The correct sequence of contacting leads

- Episode wrap-up and call-to-action

Stop using AI like Google for market research. Here is an easy, done-for-you marketing research prompt to help you draft Meta ads that convert: https://www.tiereleven.com/prompt

Are you still guessing what your market wants and calling it “creative testing”? That’s the fastest way to burn your budget in 2026. If your ads aren’t resonating, it’s probably not the algorithm. It’s your research. Most marketers skip the hardest part and wonder why creative diversification never works.

In this episode, Cole Turner from Tier 11 breaks down a smarter way to do market research using AI. We walk you through a live demo showing how a multi-step prompting process compresses weeks of manual research into minutes. The real unlock isn’t the tool; it’s how you structure prompts to extract real voice-of-customer data, emotional triggers, and problem-aware insights that actually drive clicks, leads, and sales.

We wrap by showing how to turn that research into ads, scripts, and landing pages that don’t sound like AI fluff. You’ll hear exactly how we use this internally before launching Meta campaigns, and why “garbage in, garbage out” is an accurate statement.

In This Episode:

- Why creative research still matters

- ChatGPT market research framework

- Turning research output into ads

- When multiple ChatGPT prompts are necessary

- How to access and use the market research prompt

- Final advice on AI prompting

The Meta platform continues to evolve, leaving marketers with mixed feelings. While some fear the loss of control, others are already seeing extraordinary results. Today, we revisit a lab live session we had on Meta’s new Advantage+ sales system and share a game-changing creative strategy you’ll want to try.

We’re hosting John Moran, who has spent over $1 million testing Meta's updates in real time. We discuss the shift from traditional targeting to AI-driven strategies in Meta’s Advantage+ campaigns. John reveals how advertisers are now at the mercy of the algorithm, with little control over exclusions or targeting.

However, we’ll also show you how to fight back with custom event cAPI imports, a strategy that’s helping us regain some of the control Meta has taken away. Plus, we break down the shifts in creative testing, campaign structures, and customer targeting to keep you ahead of the curve.

In This Episode:

- Advantage+ campaigns vs. manual setup

- Results from testing Meta’s algorithmic shift

- How is Advantage+ different from PMax?

- Testing Advantage+ for new customer acquisition

- Merging Advantage+ with cAPI imports

- Custom event cAPI imports explained

- Step-by-step process of setting up Advantage+ campaigns

- Inclusions and exclusions with the cAPI strategy

- Regaining control with new creative strategies

Are you convinced your SEO is outperforming paid ads and wondering why you’re still spending six figures on Meta and Google? That assumption might be one of the worst mistakes holding your growth back. We see it all the time: brands looking at last-click data, celebrating “free” organic revenue, and completely missing what’s actually driving demand.

In today’s episode, Tier 11’s John Moran breaks down a real client example showing why channel-vs-channel thinking is broken. We unpack how Meta creative diversification fuels branded search, why organic conversions are often downstream of paid traffic, and how Google Search Console exposes real brand lift.

We also dispel the impression share myth, explain why doubling spend rarely doubles results, and show how feeder strategies inside Meta Andromeda let you sell multiple products on command. You’ll understand how to read organic data correctly, test hook rates without risking massive budgets, and use feeder campaigns to unlock scalable growth across product lines.

In This Episode:

- Should you spend more on SEO or paid ads?

- Results from organic brand search

- Breaking the impression share myth

- The feeder strategy explained

- Testing the feeder strategy on multiple products

- How to test hook rates safely

- Hook rates for videos versus statics

Do you need help to scale your Meta ads in 2026?

As we gear up for the new year, we step back and look at the four Perpetual Traffic episodes you listened to the most in the past year and what they reveal about where digital marketing is actually headed. The selected episodes explain why AI-powered customer conversations are being underused and how Advantage+ quietly removed real targeting control.

We also break down why most attribution data is misleading, even with CAPI, and what Meta’s massive AI investments mean for marketers and small businesses moving forward. Each episode highlights a different failure point we see inside ad accounts every day: wasted spend, false confidence in platform data, and missed opportunities to turn engagement into revenue.

If you want to understand what really worked in 2025 and what will matter most going into 2026, this episode ties it all together.

In This Episode:

- Episode #4: Using AI to convert customer conversations

- Episode #3: Advantage+ and loss of targeting control

- Episode #2: CAPI vs attribution with Tier 11’s Data Suite

- Episode #1: DeepSeek and the future of advertising

- Final thoughts and episode wrap-up
