APIs used to take weeks of dev time. Now they take minutes. Semrush just introduced MCP Server support for our Trends and Standard APIs, giving AI agents like Claude or Cursor instant access to market, traffic, keyword, and backlink data with zero custom integration. Why it matters: Plug-and-play AI workflows: no coding, no setup headaches. Context-aware insights: Semrush data flows directly into prompts. Real automation: from daily SEO opportunity detection to fully auto-generated monthly reports. This isn’t just another API feature—it’s the bridge between raw marketing data and AI-driven decisions.

The Hidden Adobe Problem:  You're Live, But Are You Adaptive? 🌌 Today’s enterprise marketers aren’t sleeping on Adobe. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆: ✅ Implementing AEP, AJO, CJA, RTCDP, AEM ✅ Integrating source systems ✅ Activating destination channels ✅ Running campaigns with dynamic content It’s not that they haven’t gone live. It’s that most Adobe rollouts stall at activation and stop short of the deeper value layers. 🧩 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟯 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗯𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝟭. 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 “The platform is functional.”  • AEM is serving content  • RTCDP is collecting profiles  • Journey Optimizer is live 👏 These are not trivial wins. But… 🚨 They're not enough to drive orchestration at enterprise scale. 𝟮. 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 “The stack is speaking.”  • Content, data, and journey ops are coordinated  • Analytics ties back to journey strategy  • Ops, creative, and tech have shared feedback rhythms ✨ This is where experience logic emerges. 𝟯. 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 “The system is learning.”  • Behavior modifies journey paths in real time  • Offers and content adapt to intent  • Feedback loops continuously tune decision logic 🔁 This is the real promise of Adobe. And the hardest part to unlock. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: "அறிந்தாற்றிச் செய்கிற்பாற்கு அல்லால் வினைதான் சிறந்தானென்று ஏவற்பாற் றன்று." "Aṟintāṟṟic ceykiṟpāṟku allāl viṉaitāṉ ciṟantāṉeṉṟu ēvaṟpāṟ ṟaṉṟu." “A task shouldn’t be assigned merely because it matters only to one who can act with insight.” Most Adobe programs are run by capable teams. But capability ≠ orchestration. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀: 🎯 Shared experience logic 🧠 Feedback-fed adaptation ⚙ Continuous optimization flow across modules So, ask yourself: Where is your org on this Adobe maturity ladder? Are you orchestrating or just operating? Drop a comment if you’ve felt this in your CX stack. Or share how your team is tackling Adobe orchestration across silos 👇 #AdobeExperiencePlatform #CustomerJourneyOps #RTCDP #JourneyOptimizer #CXOrchestration #MarketingEngineering #EnterpriseMarTech

10 reasons to ❤️❤️ #GA4 as a consultant: 💲 It’s a moving implementation target, constantly changing. 💲 Its user interface is limited, and clients can’t use it to analyze anything. 💲 If one plans to use BigQuery for reporting, clients need consultants for everything. 💲 Implementations can be unique and challenging to understand, which helps to create a vendor lock-in with the agency. 💲 Some of GA4’s "privacy-focused" features are smoke and mirrors; one needs consultants to understand what’s happening. 💲 The metrics in different reporting interfaces rarely match, creating even more billable hours for consultants. 💲 It takes much googling to find answers to questions, creating many billable hours for consultants. 💲 ChatGPT still hallucinates about GA4. 💲 Data thresholds help us, as there is less data to analyze for small sites. 💲 Using Google’s stack, creating non-compliant digital analytics solutions is easy. ❤️ Follow me for more posts about #digitalanalytics in the #realworld! ➡️ DM me for project inquiries!
