Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS dives into the technical setup of creating a programmable search engine on Google. He explains that having a website is only the first step; connecting it to Google Search Console is what allows search engines to index your pages. He breaks down how to use cse.google.com to benchmark your site's visibility against competitors.

The conversation also explores the pitfalls of running ads without a proper technical foundation, the importance of first-party data collection from platforms like Facebook groups, and the growing monetization potential of Pinterest following its recent Amazon Web Services partnership.
