How AI Is Collapsing Marketing for Contractors

In Episode 36 of The Marketing Mechanic, I show you how AI is collapsing the digital marketing landscape for contractors and why most people aren't ready for what's coming.Right now, 90 to 95 percent of your marketing budget is going to overhead and middlemen instead of actual ads. Google, Facebook, and ChatGPT are all pushing to eliminate this friction, and I break down exactly how that pressure is playing out in real time.AI agents are replacing entire teams. A-players are getting 10X more productive while B-players are losing their jobs. The Content Factory process changes completely when you plug AI into it. If you're a contractor wondering whether to jump into the latest AI tools or ignore the noise, this episode gives you a clear framework for where to focus your time and money.I also share three questions you should be asking your marketing agency today, and I lay out my prediction, hold me to it, that within 12 to 24 months, most of the players in this space will be gone or absorbed by the major platforms.I'm Dennis Yu, your host of The Marketing Mechanic.
