**Cold Open (Our Advice to a Redditor // Google Local Service Ads are Changing)**

**Skip the Cold Open at 16:15**

Our agency has been working on two very big things that are fundamentally changing how digital marketing agencies operate. We talked about one of those things in episode 123.

This time, we're tackling server-side tracking -- specifically with Google's "Enhanced Conversions".

The days of accurate paid media reporting are coming to an end with privacy regulations and tech companies blocking the ability to track user actions after engaging with an ad.

This era breathes life into what's known as server-side tracking and attribution. However, no one seems to be talking about it right now.

But we are.

And that's what we're focusing on. We believe server-side tracking is what's going to set the agencies of tomorrow up for success and leave agencies and freelancers behind who are still relying on lead ads, webhooks, and pixels to report conversions to clients.
