Welcome to Episode 76 of HubShots!
Welcome to HubShots, the podcast for marketing managers who use HubSpot hosted by Ian Jacob from Search & Be Found and Craig Bailey from XEN Systems.
In this episode there are a lot of learnings lol.

Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week
The Search Opportunity

#3: What percent of users perform one or more searches on a given day?
“This one blew my mind! Of the millions of active, US web users Jumpshot monitored in October 2016, only 15% performed at least one or more searches in a day. 45% performed at least one query in a week, and 68% performed one or more queries that month. To me, that says there’s still a massive amount of search growth opportunity for Google. If they can make people more addicted to and more reliant on search, as well as shape the flow of information and the needs of people toward search engines, they are likely to have a lot more room to expand searches/searcher.”

BTW2: speaking of Lead Flows and George B Thomas, he has a nice quick video on how to hide Lead Flows on some pages – by pasting in a bit of CSS into your page (or global module):

However, what we really want: to be able to exclude pages in Lead Flow options.
