Piercing Google's Traffic Veil: Revealing What They're Concealing... (The Story from the Founder)
Dennis Lazard
Updated: 28th of August, 2023
Hi, I’m Dennis!
I’m a business builder, just like you.
However, my journey has had some distinctive milestones.
At the age of 25, I found myself listed among the Top 30 IT-Entrepreneurs under 30 (25th Place, Belarus).
In 2019, my startup Smartsub, Google AdWords virtual assistant (generative AI AdTech service) was recognised as one of Central Europe’s Top-10 MarTech Startups and won €50,000 Prize. Same year we became the part of the European Google for Startup Campus in Warsaw (Poland).
In 2020, Google has released successfully a new set-up, optimization scoring and AI-virtual assistant in Google Ads that we were developing with our team.
But every success story starts somewhere. Ours began at the Estonian Garage48, a startup hackathon in 2016 organized by founders of Masquerade (made an Exit to Facebook) where four dreamers — two engineers, one Google Trainer and one IT-entrepreneur — came together to create something special.
Our mission was to validate and answer 2 key questions:
«How can entrepreneurs determine the sufficiency of Google traffic for their business before investing in it?»
«Once identified, how can this traffic be leveraged in the simplest, most profitable way?»
I’ll get straight to the point — Google traffic has always been the bedrock of all my entrepreneurial undertakings:
Back in 2012, as the founder of my country’s first eCommerce brand selling design presents, I leveraged Google’s organic traffic to transform it into a 6-figure business within just a year. The power of Google didn’t stop there.
In 2014, I created a Legal IT consulting service company that pioneered the use of sales funnels from Google Ads for service companies.
Later, I started a wood manufacturing company, cleverly combining Google traffic with inexpensive wooden pillars for cafes, only to upsell hand-made furniture later at substantial margins.
My portfolio also included an event space and co-working offices, which we promoted with local SEO and PR mentions. This approach gave us a dominant position in Google’s free listings and left our competitors in the dust, even when they tried to mimic us and open similar spaces just across the street.
Lastly, the large B2B marketplaces we launched in 2015 in collaboration with the Amazon Business team and their investors were completely built around the structure and architecture of Google SEO search queries.
Google has remained unbeaten as the prime source of 'purchase-ready' traffic for a decade, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
The truth is simple: Google reigns supreme in driving conversions and sales. Period.
However, Google’s product managers are crafty. They’re not keen on handing out their valuable data for free. In 2016 Google restricted access to the Google Keyword Planner tool, limiting it only to advertisers.
Since then, the story remained the same...
We felt that wasn't fair, so we built a service that could tap into Google Ads' API, letting users check everything BEFORE spending a dollar on advertising with Google.
The response was incredible...
Since 2017, tens of thousands of B2B users have utilised our tool to launch Google traffic for their business, kickstarting their campaigns with our service and refining their strategies with our intuitive optimisation tools and AI assistant.
In 2020 Google integrated what we had developed into their own Google Ads service.
But now, we're back in full swing...
We've dusted off our old code, refreshed our integrations, and are now offering this invaluable service.
Why? Because we can, you need it and it's simply the right thing to do. This is what we believe in.
P.S. Book a slot with me or one of our growth managers and we'll pull out all the stops during these 45 minutes to deliver the most insightful and impactful Strategy Session you've ever had.
