Most websites do not convert poorly because of button colours or form fields. They convert poorly because something does not feel right. In 2026, conversion optimisation has grown up — from manipulation to meaning, from click friction to decision confidence.

PPC “best practices” collapse under testing, AI works better with context than clever prompts, loyalty is often decided after purchase, messaging fails when the audience is wrong, and AI content still wins only when it’s good. Five different stories, one familiar pattern, the basics still run the show.

LinkedIn ads are finally being tested like proper marketing channels, marketers are rediscovering that disciplined experiments beat clever guesses, marketing teams are slowly turning into product teams, companies still fail to measure the interactions that actually lead to revenue, and search demand is escaping the tidy keyword lists we all built our spreadsheets around.

AI can now run your A/B tests. SEO traffic is no longer proof of influence. AI has made average content the default. Your contact page might be hurting local rankings. Gmail just made unsubscribing effortless.

Meta’s AI gets cleverer, loyalty programs admit they trained customers to chase discounts, marketers are told to put rules around AI before it runs the meeting, A/B testing reminds us evidence still beats opinions, and analytics finally stops forcing a choice between depth and scale. Big picture: the tools are getting smarter, but common sense is still doing most of the heavy lifting.

Well. Links are no longer the Big Thing in Google ranking - allegedly; Reddit flexes its new-found muscles over users ad choices; Google Optimize shutters as Google trashes yet another service; on the flip side Google is mentioned as "adjusting" bid prices for Google Ads; and Apple turns down little-known Bing in favour of $19 billion from Google as a defensive measure against Chrome.
