The timeless business philosophy of They Ask, You Answer is profound and transformational. It's also stunning in its divine simplicity.
Your ideal buyers have questions. Lots of 'em.
So, your job is to answer each and every one of them as thoroughly and honestly as possible through your content.
That's it.
Now, thousands of companies around the globe are seeing results they never dreamed of, after embracing this new way of building trust and achieving growth in the digital age. And the internet is bursting at the seams with articles, videos, podcasts, and more addressing every question you could possibly imagine... or so I thought.
You see, it's been a trying few days here in Liz Moorehead Land, as I continue to prepare for my Great Move North in about four weeks. (Fun fact: Boxes do not pack themselves, and moving heavy furniture is just a hoot when you are single and have weak little T-rex arms.)
The consequence of my current perpetual state of "hi-jinx" is that (a) I am extremely frazzled, and (b) I have a lot of questions.
Questions that the internet, I have learned, cannot answer. 😡
They include, in no particular order:
- To the person who invented the DMV, who hurt you?
- Why is every single "c" in "Pacific Ocean" pronounced differently?
- Which one of you jokers told my downstairs bathtub it was OK to start filling up with water on its own from the drain?
- Are the dove and the pigeon a real-life example of that "Instagram vs reality" meme?
- Why do I have eight different books about flower arranging when I am likely the most prolific houseplant serial killer operating today?
- Is a hot dog a sandwich?
- How do I function every single day as an adult in society when I sometimes forget how to do math, and I also definitely threw out an unused $75 Amazon gift card earlier this week?
- Do you think Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would agree to be my really cool uncle?
- Where did this bruise on my knee come from?
Due to the very, very serious nature of my unanswered queries, I'm going to need a few of you to rework your current marketing plans, so you can perform a little "They Ask, You Answer" magic for me on these questions, OK?
My sanity depends on it.

👉 "Wait, what the heck is happening with that latest Google update? Why are people so mad about it?" (2-minute read)
A couple of weeks ago, Google fully rolled out its updated look to ads and organic search on desktop searches. Google's stated purpose with this change was to make the search experience better for its users, and to bring desktop search more in line with the updated mobile search display, which had already launched. Well, users didn't agree that these changes made the experience "better," so they took to social media to vent. In this quick read from IMPACT Developer Supervisor Melissa Smith, get the full skinny on exactly what changed with Google's update, why so many people hated the changes, and what's going to happen next... all in under two minutes.
