Microsoft Power Automate Vs Google Power Automate: Benefits and Drawbacks

Automation tools have transformed the nature of businesses; at the top of the chart are Microsoft Power Automate and Google Power Automate. Such platforms ease processes, enhance productivity, and improve workflows. Despite Microsoft having a robust alternative, most still seek an equivalent Power Automate for Google. This article is dedicated to explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the two alternatives. Choose which platform is the best fit for your business.

Key Benefits of Microsoft Power Automate

Microsoft Power Automate is exceptional in its integration with many Microsoft products like Office 365, SharePoint, and Dynamics 365. It provides an intuitive user interface and pre-built templates with AI-driven capabilities that make automation accessible to users with different technical expertise.

Microsoft Power Automate: Disadvantages

It does, however, have its limitations. It can only be as powerful as Microsoft's ecosystem allows, meaning that it's not suitable for organizations heavily invested in non-Microsoft solutions. Licensing costs balloon as well with bigger enterprises.

Google Power Automate: Major Benefits

The Google version of Power Automate is known mainly as Google Apps Script. It seamlessly integrates with the Google Workspace products, such as Gmail, Google Sheets, and Google Drive. This automation tool is highly customizable and is apt for businesses deeply embedded in Google's ecosystem.

Google Power Automate: Drawbacks

The major limitation of Google Apps Script is its learning curve. It can be very powerful but requires scripting knowledge, and learning to do this might be a barrier for non-technical users. Though it has relatively few pre-built templates compared to Microsoft Power Automate, workflows are often built from scratch.

Choosing the Right Platform: Things to Consider

The choice between Microsoft Power Automate and Google Power Automate alternatives depends on several factors. First, consider your current software ecosystem; if your organization relies heavily on Microsoft or Google products, sticking with the corresponding automation tool may be more beneficial. Evaluate your team's technical expertise, budget constraints, and the complexity of workflows you aim to automate.

Comparing Costs: Microsoft vs. Google

Cost is one critical consideration when an organization chooses which automation platform will best suit it. Microsoft Power Automate has numerous licensing plans; hence, it can be too expensive for huge organizations. Google Power Automate (using Google Apps Script) offers free services if one has the Google Workspace platform. This provides a great appeal to cost-conscious businesses. 

Integration and Compatibility

The integration capabilities of the automation tools should be used to the fullest to reap their benefits. Microsoft Power Automate has seamless integration with a variety of Microsoft and third-party applications, thus giving ample flexibility. In contrast, the Google Power Automate alternative does exceptionally well within the Google environment but has fewer integrations outside the Google domain.

User Experience and Support

User experience differs significantly between these two platforms. Microsoft Power Automate offers a user-friendly interface with extensive documentation, community support, and professional assistance. The Google version of Power Automate is powerful but requires more technical skills, with fewer resources available for beginners.

Security and Compliance

Security in automation is very essential. Microsoft Power Automate provides rich features of security, strict compliance with various industry standards, and provides expansive data protection. The Google equivalent of Power Automate follows Google's high-level security protocols but might lack industry-specific compliance.

Conclusion

Choosing between Microsoft Power Automate and a Power Automate alternative for Google involves weighing their benefits and drawbacks. Microsoft’s tool excels in integration and user-friendliness, while Google’s equivalent offers cost-effectiveness and seamless Google Workspace integration.

The AI hype bubble is the new crypto hype bubble

Back in 2017 Long Island Ice Tea — known for its undistinguished, barely drinkable sugar-water — changed its name to “Long Blockchain Corp.” Its shares surged to a peak of 400% over their pre-announcement price. The company announced no specific integrations with any kind of blockchain, nor has it made any such integrations since.

If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/09/autocomplete-worshippers/#the-real-ai-was-the-corporations-that-we-fought-along-the-way

LBCC was subsequently delisted from NASDAQ after settling with the SEC over fraudulent investor statements. Today, the company trades over the counter and its market cap is $36m, down from $138m.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/textbook-case-of-crypto-hype-how-iced-tea-company-went-blockchain-and-failed-despite-a-289-percent-stock-rise

The most remarkable thing about this incredibly stupid story is that LBCC wasn’t the peak of the blockchain bubble — rather, it was the start of blockchain’s final pump-and-dump. By the standards of 2022’s blockchain grifters, LBCC was small potatoes, a mere $138m sugar-water grift.

They didn’t have any NFTs, no wash trades, no ICO. They didn’t have a Superbowl ad. They didn’t steal billions from mom-and-pop investors while proclaiming themselves to be “Effective Altruists.” They didn’t channel hundreds of millions to election campaigns through straw donations and other forms of campaing finance frauds. They didn’t even open a crypto-themed hamburger restaurant where you couldn’t buy hamburgers with crypto:

https://robbreport.com/food-drink/dining/bored-hungry-restaurant-no-cryptocurrency-1234694556/

They were amateurs. Their attempt to “make fetch happen” only succeeded for a brief instant. By contrast, the superpredators of the crypto bubble were able to make fetch happen over an improbably long timescale, deploying the most powerful reality distortion fields since Pets.com.

Anything that can’t go on forever will eventually stop. We’re told that trillions of dollars’ worth of crypto has been wiped out over the past year, but these losses are nowhere to be seen in the real economy — because the “wealth” that was wiped out by the crypto bubble’s bursting never existed in the first place.

Like any Ponzi scheme, crypto was a way to separate normies from their savings through the pretense that they were “investing” in a vast enterprise — but the only real money (“fiat” in cryptospeak) in the system was the hardscrabble retirement savings of working people, which the bubble’s energetic inflaters swapped for illiquid, worthless shitcoins.

We’ve stopped believing in the illusory billions. Sam Bankman-Fried is under house arrest. But the people who gave him money — and the nimbler Ponzi artists who evaded arrest — are looking for new scams to separate the marks from their money.

Take Morganstanley, who spent 2021 and 2022 hyping cryptocurrency as a massive growth opportunity:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/morgan-stanley-launches-cryptocurrency-research-team

Today, Morganstanley wants you to know that AI is a $6 trillion opportunity.

They’re not alone. The CEOs of Endeavor, Buzzfeed, Microsoft, Spotify, Youtube, Snap, Sports Illustrated, and CAA are all out there, pumping up the AI bubble with every hour that god sends, declaring that the future is AI.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/wall-street-ai-stock-price-1235343279/

Google and Bing are locked in an arms-race to see whose search engine can attain the speediest, most profound enshittification via chatbot, replacing links to web-pages with florid paragraphs composed by fully automated, supremely confident liars:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/16/tweedledumber/#easily-spooked

Blockchain was a solution in search of a problem. So is AI. Yes, Buzzfeed will be able to reduce its wage-bill by automating its personality quiz vertical, and Spotify’s “AI DJ” will produce slightly less terrible playlists (at least, to the extent that Spotify doesn’t put its thumb on the scales by inserting tracks into the playlists whose only fitness factor is that someone paid to boost them).

But even if you add all of this up, double it, square it, and add a billion dollar confidence interval, it still doesn’t add up to what Bank Of America analysts called “a defining moment — like the internet in the ’90s.” For one thing, the most exciting part of the “internet in the ‘90s” was that it had incredibly low barriers to entry and wasn’t dominated by large companies — indeed, it had them running scared.

The AI bubble, by contrast, is being inflated by massive incumbents, whose excitement boils down to “This will let the biggest companies get much, much bigger and the rest of you can go fuck yourselves.” Some revolution.

AI has all the hallmarks of a classic pump-and-dump, starting with terminology. AI isn’t “artificial” and it’s not “intelligent.” “Machine learning” doesn’t learn. On this week’s Trashfuture podcast, they made an excellent (and profane and hilarious) case that ChatGPT is best understood as a sophisticated form of autocomplete — not our new robot overlord.

https://open.spotify.com/episode/4NHKMZZNKi0w9mOhPYIL4T

We all know that autocomplete is a decidedly mixed blessing. Like all statistical inference tools, autocomplete is profoundly conservative — it wants you to do the same thing tomorrow as you did yesterday (that’s why “sophisticated” ad retargeting ads show you ads for shoes in response to your search for shoes). If the word you type after “hey” is usually “hon” then the next time you type “hey,” autocomplete will be ready to fill in your typical following word — even if this time you want to type “hey stop texting me you freak”:

https://blog.lareviewofbooks.org/provocations/neophobic-conservative-ai-overlords-want-everything-stay/

And when autocomplete encounters a new input — when you try to type something you’ve never typed before — it tries to get you to finish your sentence with the statistically median thing that everyone would type next, on average. Usually that produces something utterly bland, but sometimes the results can be hilarious. Back in 2018, I started to text our babysitter with “hey are you free to sit” only to have Android finish the sentence with “on my face” (not something I’d ever typed!):

https://mashable.com/article/android-predictive-text-sit-on-my-face

Modern autocomplete can produce long passages of text in response to prompts, but it is every bit as unreliable as 2018 Android SMS autocomplete, as Alexander Hanff discovered when ChatGPT informed him that he was dead, even generating a plausible URL for a link to a nonexistent obit in The Guardian:

https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/02/chatgpt_considered_harmful/

Of course, the carnival barkers of the AI pump-and-dump insist that this is all a feature, not a bug. If autocomplete says stupid, wrong things with total confidence, that’s because “AI” is becoming more human, because humans also say stupid, wrong things with total confidence.

Exhibit A is the billionaire AI grifter Sam Altman, CEO if OpenAI — a company whose products are not open, nor are they artificial, nor are they intelligent. Altman celebrated the release of ChatGPT by tweeting “i am a stochastic parrot, and so r u.”

https://twitter.com/sama/status/1599471830255177728

This was a dig at the “stochastic parrots” paper, a comprehensive, measured roundup of criticisms of AI that led Google to fire Timnit Gebru, a respected AI researcher, for having the audacity to point out the Emperor’s New Clothes:

https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/12/04/1013294/google-ai-ethics-research-paper-forced-out-timnit-gebru/

Gebru’s co-author on the Parrots paper was Emily M Bender, a computational linguistics specialist at UW, who is one of the best-informed and most damning critics of AI hype. You can get a good sense of her position from Elizabeth Weil’s New York Magazine profile:

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-chatbots-emily-m-bender.html

Bender has made many important scholarly contributions to her field, but she is also famous for her rules of thumb, which caution her fellow scientists not to get high on their own supply:

Please do not conflate word form and meaning

Mind your own credulity

As Bender says, we’ve made “machines that can mindlessly generate text, but we haven’t learned how to stop imagining the mind behind it.” One potential tonic against this fallacy is to follow an Italian MP’s suggestion and replace “AI” with “SALAMI” (“Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences”). It’s a lot easier to keep a clear head when someone asks you, “Is this SALAMI intelligent? Can this SALAMI write a novel? Does this SALAMI deserve human rights?”

Bender’s most famous contribution is the “stochastic parrot,” a construct that “just probabilistically spits out words.” AI bros like Altman love the stochastic parrot, and are hellbent on reducing human beings to stochastic parrots, which will allow them to declare that their chatbots have feature-parity with human beings.

At the same time, Altman and Co are strangely afraid of their creations. It’s possible that this is just a shuck: “I have made something so powerful that it could destroy humanity! Luckily, I am a wise steward of this thing, so it’s fine. But boy, it sure is powerful!”

They’ve been playing this game for a long time. People like Elon Musk (an investor in OpenAI, who is hoping to convince the EU Commission and FTC that he can fire all of Twitter’s human moderators and replace them with chatbots without violating EU law or the FTC’s consent decree) keep warning us that AI will destroy us unless we tame it.

There’s a lot of credulous repetition of these claims, and not just by AI’s boosters. AI critics are also prone to engaging in what Lee Vinsel calls criti-hype: criticizing something by repeating its boosters’ claims without interrogating them to see if they’re true:

https://sts-news.medium.com/youre-doing-it-wrong-notes-on-criticism-and-technology-hype-18b08b4307e5

There are better ways to respond to Elon Musk warning us that AIs will emulsify the planet and use human beings for food than to shout, “Look at how irresponsible this wizard is being! He made a Frankenstein’s Monster that will kill us all!” Like, we could point out that of all the things Elon Musk is profoundly wrong about, he is most wrong about the philosophical meaning of Wachowksi movies:

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/may/18/lilly-wachowski-ivana-trump-elon-musk-twitter-red-pill-the-matrix-tweets

But even if we take the bros at their word when they proclaim themselves to be terrified of “existential risk” from AI, we can find better explanations by seeking out other phenomena that might be triggering their dread. As Charlie Stross points out, corporations are Slow AIs, autonomous artificial lifeforms that consistently do the wrong thing even when the people who nominally run them try to steer them in better directions:

https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-9270-dude_you_broke_the_future

Imagine the existential horror of a ultra-rich manbaby who nominally leads a company, but can’t get it to follow: “everyone thinks I’m in charge, but I’m actually being driven by the Slow AI, serving as its sock puppet on some days, its golem on others.”

Ted Chiang nailed this back in 2017 (the same year of the Long Island Blockchain Company):

There’s a saying, popularized by Fredric Jameson, that it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism. It’s no surprise that Silicon Valley capitalists don’t want to think about capitalism ending. What’s unexpected is that the way they envision the world ending is through a form of unchecked capitalism, disguised as a superintelligent AI. They have unconsciously created a devil in their own image, a boogeyman whose excesses are precisely their own.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tedchiang/the-real-danger-to-civilization-isnt-ai-its-runaway

Chiang is still writing some of the best critical work on “AI.” His February article in the New Yorker, “ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web,” was an instant classic:

[AI] hallucinations are compression artifacts, but — like the incorrect labels generated by the Xerox photocopier — they are plausible enough that identifying them requires comparing them against the originals, which in this case means either the Web or our own knowledge of the world.

https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/chatgpt-is-a-blurry-jpeg-of-the-web

“AI” is practically purpose-built for inflating another hype-bubble, excelling as it does at producing party-tricks — plausible essays, weird images, voice impersonations. But as Princeton’s Matthew Salganik writes, there’s a world of difference between “cool” and “tool”:

https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2023/03/08/can-chatgpt-and-its-successors-go-from-cool-to-tool/

Nature can claim “conversational AI is a game-changer for science” but “there is a huge gap between writing funny instructions for removing food from home electronics and doing scientific research.” Salganik tried to get ChatGPT to help him with the most banal of scholarly tasks — aiding him in peer reviewing a colleague’s paper. The result? “ChatGPT didn’t help me do peer review at all; not one little bit.”

The criti-hype isn’t limited to ChatGPT, of course — there’s plenty of (justifiable) concern about image and voice generators and their impact on creative labor markets, but that concern is often expressed in ways that amplify the self-serving claims of the companies hoping to inflate the hype machine.

One of the best critical responses to the question of image- and voice-generators comes from Kirby Ferguson, whose final Everything Is a Remix video is a superb, visually stunning, brilliantly argued critique of these systems:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rswxcDyotXA

One area where Ferguson shines is in thinking through the copyright question — is there any right to decide who can study the art you make? Except in some edge cases, these systems don’t store copies of the images they analyze, nor do they reproduce them:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/09/ai-monkeys-paw/#bullied-schoolkids

For creators, the important material question raised by these systems is economic, not creative: will our bosses use them to erode our wages? That is a very important question, and as far as our bosses are concerned, the answer is a resounding yes.

Markets value automation primarily because automation allows capitalists to pay workers less. The textile factory owners who purchased automatic looms weren’t interested in giving their workers raises and shorting working days. ‘ They wanted to fire their skilled workers and replace them with small children kidnapped out of orphanages and indentured for a decade, starved and beaten and forced to work, even after they were mangled by the machines. Fun fact: Oliver Twist was based on the bestselling memoir of Robert Blincoe, a child who survived his decade of forced labor:

https://www.gutenberg.org/files/59127/59127-h/59127-h.htm

Today, voice actors sitting down to record for games companies are forced to begin each session with “My name is ______ and I hereby grant irrevocable permission to train an AI with my voice and use it any way you see fit.”

https://www.vice.com/en/article/5d37za/voice-actors-sign-away-rights-to-artificial-intelligence

Let’s be clear here: there is — at present — no firmly established copyright over voiceprints. The “right” that voice actors are signing away as a non-negotiable condition of doing their jobs for giant, powerful monopolists doesn’t even exist. When a corporation makes a worker surrender this right, they are betting that this right will be created later in the name of “artists’ rights” — and that they will then be able to harvest this right and use it to fire the artists who fought so hard for it.

There are other approaches to this. We could support the US Copyright Office’s position that machine-generated works are not works of human creative authorship and are thus not eligible for copyright — so if corporations wanted to control their products, they’d have to hire humans to make them:

https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/21/22944335/us-copyright-office-reject-ai-generated-art-recent-entrance-to-paradise

Or we could create collective rights that belong to all artists and can’t be signed away to a corporation. That’s how the right to record other musicians’ songs work — and it’s why Taylor Swift was able to re-record the masters that were sold out from under her by evil private-equity bros::

https://doctorow.medium.com/united-we-stand-61e16ec707e2

Whatever we do as creative workers and as humans entitled to a decent life, we can’t afford drink the Blockchain Iced Tea. That means that we have to be technically competent, to understand how the stochastic parrot works, and to make sure our criticism doesn’t just repeat the marketing copy of the latest pump-and-dump.

Tomorrow (Mar 10), Rebecca Giblin and I kick off the SXSW reading series.

THE 6 FREE MARKETING TOOLS EVERY MARKETER NEEDS TO USE

Are you aware of the top marketing tools out there that not only help you get your job done better, but are completely FREE? There are a number of excellent free marketing tools, and we’ve compiled some of the top in the categories that help you master your marketing. Whether you add all or a few to your marketing toolbox, you’ll reap the benefits of these resources right away and work smarter, not harder.

Project Management: Trello

Lead Generation: Hubspot

Design: Canva

Content: Answer the Public

SEO: Google Free Business Profile and Google Analytics

Social Media Management: Buffer

PROJECT MANAGEMENT: TRELLO

This highly visual organization tool is a master at project management. It lays everything out intuitively on “boards” reminiscent of an old-school desk blotter and designed to manage projects, workflows, and tasks, from the big picture down to the finest detail. With the free version of Trello, you can create unlimited boards that contain a project or process, lists encompassing all tasks and divided into “To Do,” “Doing,” and “Done” (or your own custom process), and smaller, movable “cards” with the information you need to accomplish these tasks, tied to deadlines and assigned doers. 

Trello helps you boost your productivity. It keeps everyone moving, with spaces to comment on the cards, and add files and checklists. It also integrates with Slack, Dropbox, Outlook, Gmail, Salesforce, and more, with “power-ups,” or plug-ins, that expand your capabilities. The free version gets you unlimited cards, built-in automation, due dates, mobile and desktop apps, unlimited activity logs, templates, and unlimited power-ups. Then if you find you’re needing more, it’s a reasonable jump in monthly rate for more robust options.

LEAD GENERATION: HUBSPOT

Hubspot is known for many things to many marketers. It’s a robust CRM platform with highly effective marketing, sales, and service tools. The software is king at lead generation. It helps marketers attract potential visitors and leads through inbound marketing, ushering them through the buyer’s journey, and converting them into customers. 

While HubSpot’s capabilities are wide-ranging and complex, you can take advantage of its CRM tools in a free suite that includes email marketing, live chat, forms, pop-ups, ads, landing pages, reports, and more. This version has some very helpful features; marketers can add more information about incoming leads with data gleaned from the internet, populating charts with social profiles, job titles, where they came from online, and what they viewed before they filled out their form. You’ll be able to track these potential customers when they return to your site as well, and since each action is mapped, you can track timing too. The free version of HubSpot also provides analytics so you know which of your pages, offers, and traffic sources are pulling the highest conversions. You’ll see the number of visits before customers buy and identify other trends in site navigation so you can optimize your site.

Some of the comments are a little disconnected from everyday use, honestly.

I work in IT, I get it, in a fair and just world, we'd all be running Proxmox bare-metal and we'd be piling on VM after VM for the sake of freeing ourselves from the shackles imposed on us by corporate ecosystems. The thing is, you are not going to convince someone who's already tech-averse to go this deep, this quickly. Considering how most of my employees do everything on their phones and barely know how to turn their work rigs on or off - and most of them are in their twenties - there's a ton of ground to cover.

Here's a small - if still longish - taste of it all below. Click for more.

Start small. If anyone's curious and wants at least one solid stepping stone, consider checking whether or not your version of Windows contains the Hyper-V virtualization suite. To do so, open your Start menu, and start typing Turn Windows features on or off into the search bar. Pick the first item that pops up, and you'll access a window listing all of your OS' installed and pending features. You're looking for Hyper-V. Click on its box, then let your machine restart.

Congrats, it, uh... sort of looks like nothing's changed, right? That's good, actually. Now what you want to do is head to the Internet Archive and pick whatever operating system from your childhood that you happen to remember, or you could even go nuts and pick out one of the Enthusiast ISOs for Windows freaking 7 that some diehards are still putting together to this day. Pick a system, download its ISO file, and then search for and start Hyper-V.

Following the steps onscreen, you'll create your first virtual machine. For now, just hit Finish right off the bat, the program's going to pick best-case options that'll at least shield you from massive fuck-ups, seeing as this is your first time. Pick out your virtual machine in the main window, right-click on it and select Settings. Inside, you'll point its virtual CD-ROM drive to where you download your operating system's ISO.

If all goes well, you should see your operating system of choice's first boot screen in the window that pops up, once you boot up your VM. You can full-screen the program, if you want to fake running this natively a little more comfortably. Don't forget to (ahem) source a valid CD key through entirely legal means - you only really need to Google for this. If you're looking for a Microsoft key, you'll find Generic keys listed by the boatload. If you're trying out a MacOS install, you might have a little bit of a harder time finding the right serials, but it isn't impossible.

Of course, the easiest option is a Linux distro. Distros, barring a few exceptions, are typically free to use and have no copy-protection shenanigans to handle. If that's your course of choice, start with Linux Mint - it's designed to be as familiar as possible to people coming in from a Windows system. Once you've got the ball rolling, have fun with your now-sandboxed OS install. Revisit old favourites maybe, or even practice using Hyper-V's Guest tools to make your host PC and the virtual machine effectively "share" a network!

Later on, you'll realize that there's virtual machines dedicated to all sorts of things: you can run home automation servers, play games or run servers for said games - the sky's the limit, really. Running your VMs in instances on a bigger OS like Windows works on the short term, but sharing hardware resources like this is a huge pain. Eventually, you're going to want to run a hypervisor - that's a virtualization suite - directly on top of your hardware. That makes it much easier to divvy out resources as needed.

That, however, is neither here nor there if you're just starting out. If all you ever do is power on and shut off a PC, start by running the same version of Windows you're already familiar with on a separate VM. Then, poke at that sacrificial system to your heart's content. The fun thing about virtual machines is that irrecoverable fuck-ups do not exist. Save a state before doing dodgy shit, like you're playing a game on an emulator, and then go on right ahead.

Does the VM now refuse to boot? Reload its last save state. Bam, you're done. Learn that system from the inside out, and then try out its Server Edition, or jump to a Windows or a Mac, all depending. Try out Linux, too! You have no limits on the number of virtual machines you can run - none save your own hardware's limitations.

This is the best start to a home lab that you could possibly get, short of going fucking nuts for what's still just a hobby and speccing yourself a server-grade system to fuck around with.

If this really appeals to you, I'd advise picking up Windows Terminal commands, formerly known as MS-DOS prompts, and pairing that with some passing understanding of Bash. These two Command Prompt syntaxes are essential to start with. For maximum fun and chaos, set your newfangled server as a target, deploy a Kali Linux install, and start picking up Network Security basics by actually playing the part of a hacker.

If this speaks to you, you'll have enough on-hand to potentially make a career out of it. If you're just curious, you'll still know more about how to keep safe online than 99.9% of your fellow netizens.

Someone needs to inform the (rightly) pro-piracy tumblr users that it is no longer 2014 and some of the services they are recommending will turn ur computer in a broken microwave that serves bitcoins to shitheads.

Google Ads, Landing Page Design, and AI What's Happening in 2025 - 9 Things You Should Know!

As we enter 2025, digital marketing continues to evolve. Here’s a quick overview of some of the key components driving these changes:

Google Ads: A platform that lets businesses create targeted advertisements displayed across Google’s search engine and partner networks, helping them reach potential customers effectively.

Landing Page Design: The process of crafting focused web pages designed to guide visitors toward a specific action, such as signing up or making a purchase. Well-designed landing pages are critical for conversions.

AI in Online Marketing: Artificial intelligence tools analyse data, predict trends, and automate marketing tasks, enabling smarter decision-making and enhanced campaign performance.

Whether you’re running a business in Ireland with local customers or aiming to reach a global audience, staying ahead of these trends can mean the difference between success and stagnation. Here are 9 essential updates to keep you at the forefront.

1. AI-Powered Google Ads Optimisation

AI isn’t just a buzzword; it’s transforming Google Ads. With tools like Performance Max campaigns Powered by Google AI, advertisers can leverage machine learning to optimise for multiple goals, from clicks to conversions, all while using real-time data.

Why it Matters: AI takes over repetitive tasks like bid adjustments and ad placements, freeing up marketers to focus on strategy. It’s particularly useful for managing complex campaigns with diverse audiences.

Example: A company could use AI-driven Google Ads to automate campaign optimisation and improve ad placement. By allowing AI to dynamically adjust bidding and audience targeting, they could reduce manual workload while maintaining consistent ad performance.

Tip: Explore platforms like Adzooma for AI-powered campaign management.

2. Voice Search is Reshaping Paid Search

With the rise of smart devices, voice search has surged in Ireland and beyond. This shift means that search queries are now more conversational, reflecting how people naturally speak.

Why it Matters: Voice searches tend to be longer and more specific than text searches, requiring businesses to adapt their keyword strategies.

Example: A local service provider could optimise its PPC strategy by incorporating long-tail keywords and phrases typical of voice search, like “nearest affordable [service].” This could help them align their ad content with evolving search behaviours.

Action Point: Optimise your ads for conversational queries and local SEO. Tools like AnswerThePublic can help you uncover commonly asked questions.

3. Dynamic Landing Pages

Dynamic landing pages are tailored web pages designed to align with user intent and demographic data. They present specific content based on the visitor’s search terms or behaviour, enhancing the user experience and increasing conversions.

Why it Matters: Static landing pages often fail to meet the diverse needs of different audience segments. Dynamic landing pages address this by displaying highly relevant content, making them essential for personalised marketing.

Example: A fitness brand could create multiple landing page versions targeting distinct customer personas, such as beginners looking for tips and advanced users seeking specific tools. This approach would ensure each visitor is presented with content tailored to their needs.

Quick Win: Use tools like Unbounce or Instapage to design and manage dynamic landing pages effortlessly.

4. First-Party Data is the New King

As privacy regulations tighten, first-party data collection has become critical. Google is set to phase out third-party cookies, making consent-based marketing a must-have strategy.

Why it Matters: First-party data is collected directly from your audience, making it more accurate and privacy-compliant. It’s the foundation for creating personalised campaigns and building trust.

Example: A retail company could launch a loyalty program to encourage email sign-ups, providing them with a reliable source of first-party data. This information could then be used to segment audiences for personalised advertising campaigns.

Suggestion: Build trust through clear communication about data usage. Tools like HubSpot can help manage first-party data while ensuring GDPR compliance.

5. Local SEO Enhances PPC Campaigns

For Irish businesses, local search ads are vital. Use Google My Business and local extensions in your ads to dominate searches for location-based queries. Of Course we can help you with our SEO service!

Why it Matters: Consumers often search for services near them, especially on mobile devices. Local SEO ensures your business is visible when and where it’s needed most.

Example: A local repair shop could use location-based ad extensions to ensure their business appears prominently in “near me” searches. Adding directions and click-to-call options to their ads could make it easy for potential customers to connect.

Actionable Tip: Regularly update your Google Business Profile with new photos, customer reviews, and special offers.

6. Mobile-First Everything

In 2025, mobile responsiveness isn’t optional. Google continues prioritising mobile-first indexing, ensuring that mobile-friendly websites perform better in search rankings.

Why it Matters: With mobile traffic dominating online searches, a poor mobile experience can result in lost opportunities.

Example: A retailer could discover that most traffic comes from mobile users and decide to revamp their website design to improve mobile usability. This might include faster load times and better navigation to enhance the overall user experience.

Checklist: Test page speed, ensure seamless navigation, and optimise forms for mobile users using PageSpeed Insights.

7. AI-Enhanced A/B Testing

AI tools are revolutionising A/B testing by identifying winning ad copy, keywords, and designs in real-time.

Why it Matters: Traditional A/B testing can take weeks or months, while AI can produce insights in days.

Example: A SaaS company could use AI-based A/B testing to evaluate multiple ad and landing page combinations. The AI could quickly highlight which design and copy are most effective at driving user engagement.

Why it matters: Save time and maximise ROI by automating testing processes with tools like Optimizely . Unfortunately Google Optimize has been discontinued.

8. Visual and Video Ads Dominate

With platforms like YouTube and Google Display Network, video and image ads are more engaging than ever.

Why it Matters: Visual content grabs attention faster and often communicates messages more effectively than text alone.

Example: A travel agency could create short videos highlighting scenic destinations and use YouTube Ads to target users searching for holiday ideas. This strategy would showcase their offerings in a visually appealing way.

Pro Tip: Use tools like Canva or Biteable to create high-quality visuals.

9. Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) with AI

AI now plays a pivotal role in CRO by predicting user behaviour and suggesting changes to boost conversions.

Why it Matters: CRO ensures that you get the most value from your website traffic by converting more visitors into leads or customers.

Example: A brand could use heatmaps generated by AI to identify underperforming areas on their landing pages. Adjusting button placements and headlines based on insights could lead to noticeable improvements in user interaction.

Immediate Action: Use AI analytics tools like Crazy Egg or Hotjar to refine your landing page layout.

Conclusion

2025 promises to be a transformative year for digital marketing. By embracing AI, optimising for local and mobile, and focusing on user-centric design, businesses in Ireland can stay ahead of the curve. These conditional examples demonstrate how adapting to these trends could lead to impactful results.

With the increasing volume and complexity of data, organizations need robust tools to process, analyze, and visualize that information. Microsoft Power BI is one such tool, designed to turn raw data into actionable insights that empower decision-makers across various industries. Here’s a look at how Power BI helps businesses enhance decision-making capabilities.

For those looking to enhance their skills, Power BI Online Training & Placement programs offer comprehensive education and job placement assistance, making it easier to master this tool and advance your career.

What is Power BI?

Power BI is a powerful business analytics tool developed by Microsoft. It enables users to connect to a wide range of data sources, analyze the data, and create interactive reports and dashboards. This platform allows businesses to consolidate data from different sources and visualize it in a way that makes it easy to draw meaningful conclusions. With Power BI, organizations can turn complex data into simple, actionable insights that drive informed decision-making.

Key Features of Power BI

1. Data Connectivity Power BI offers seamless connectivity to multiple data sources, including on-premises databases, cloud services, and Excel files. Whether your data resides in SQL databases, Google Analytics, or even Excel sheets, Power BI allows you to consolidate and analyze it in one place.

2. Data Transformation and Modeling Power BI comes with powerful tools to clean and transform data. Using Power Query and Data Analysis Expressions (DAX), users can prepare their data for analysis by performing transformations, merging datasets, and calculating key metrics. This ensures that the data is structured and formatted in a way that best serves the business goals.

Top SEO Trends Every Business Should Follow to Stay Ahead

In today's digital age, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has become a critical factor for online success. With search engines evolving constantly, businesses need to stay updated on the latest SEO trends to maintain their competitive edge. If you're not keeping up with these changes, your website could quickly fall behind in search engine rankings, which can affect your visibility, traffic, and ultimately, your revenue. In this article, we'll dive into the top SEO trends that every business should follow to stay ahead in the game.

1. User Experience (UX) Signals

Search engines, especially Google, are increasingly focusing on user experience (UX) signals when determining rankings. Factors such as page load speed, mobile responsiveness, and ease of navigation are now integral to SEO performance. Google’s Core Web Vitals, which focus on user-centric metrics like loading performance and interactivity, have become important ranking factors.

To enhance your website’s UX:

Optimize your page load speed using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights.

Ensure your website is mobile-friendly, considering the significant amount of mobile traffic.

Improve the navigation structure to make it intuitive for users.

2. Mobile-First Indexing

Mobile-first indexing means that Google primarily uses the mobile version of your website for ranking purposes. With more people browsing the web on mobile devices, it’s crucial that your site is optimized for mobile use.

For optimal mobile SEO:

Use a responsive design that adapts to all screen sizes.

Ensure your content is easy to read and images are optimized for faster loading on mobile.

Ensure that pop-ups or interstitials do not disrupt the mobile experience.

3. Voice Search Optimization

Voice search is rapidly growing, with users relying on devices like smartphones and smart speakers to perform searches. Voice search queries are usually longer and more conversational, so your SEO strategy needs to adjust accordingly.

To optimize for voice search:

Focus on natural language and question-based keywords (e.g., “What’s the best SEO company in Kerala?”).

Optimize for local SEO, as voice searches are often location-based.

Structure your content with clear, concise answers to commonly asked questions.

4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning

Google’s algorithms are increasingly powered by AI and machine learning. The introduction of BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and RankBrain has made search results more contextually relevant. These AI technologies understand the meaning behind the words in queries, rather than just focusing on individual keywords.

To stay ahead:

Create content that answers questions in-depth and provides value to your audience.

Focus on topic clusters and related keywords instead of just single keywords.

Use tools powered by AI, like automated content creation or AI-driven analytics, to improve your SEO.

5. Featured Snippets and Rich Results

Featured snippets, also known as position zero, are becoming more common in search results. These snippets provide quick answers to user queries directly on the search engine results page (SERP), increasing visibility and click-through rates.

To optimize for featured snippets:

Structure your content in a question-and-answer format.

Use bullet points, numbered lists, and tables for easy scanning by search engines.

Focus on providing clear, concise, and informative answers to common questions in your industry.

6. E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)

E-A-T is a concept that Google uses to evaluate the quality of content and the credibility of websites. Websites that demonstrate expertise, authority, and trustworthiness are more likely to rank higher.

To improve your E-A-T:

Publish high-quality, well-researched, and informative content.

Ensure your website has a clear author bio and credentials, especially for content related to health, finance, and legal topics.

Gain high-quality backlinks from reputable sources to build authority.

7. Video SEO

Video content has exploded in recent years, and it’s no longer enough to upload videos without optimizing them for SEO. Google’s algorithms are now prioritizing video content in search results, especially when users are looking for tutorials, product reviews, or explainer videos.

To optimize your videos:

Use relevant keywords in video titles, descriptions, and tags.

Create engaging, high-quality videos that answer the viewer's queries.

Implement video transcripts to enhance accessibility and improve SEO.

8. Local SEO Optimization

For businesses with physical locations, local SEO is essential. Optimizing for local searches ensures that your business appears in the local 3-pack and other relevant local searches.

To optimize for local SEO:

Claim and optimize your Google My Business listing.

Use local keywords, such as city names and neighborhood identifiers, in your content.

Encourage customers to leave reviews and respond to them to build social proof.

9. Long-Form Content

While short-form content can provide quick answers, long-form content tends to perform better in terms of SEO. Google values content that provides comprehensive information on a subject, which is why long-form articles, guides, and blog posts tend to rank higher.

To benefit from long-form content:

Aim for content that’s at least 1,500-2,000 words long.

Break the content into easy-to-read sections with headings and subheadings.

Provide detailed answers, include relevant examples, and use multimedia to enrich the experience.

10. Link Building and Quality Backlinks

Backlinks remain a crucial factor in SEO success. Quality backlinks from reputable websites signal to search engines that your content is valuable and trustworthy. However, focus on acquiring natural, relevant backlinks rather than engaging in questionable link-building practices.

To build quality backlinks:

Create shareable content, such as infographics, case studies, and guest posts.

Reach out to industry influencers for collaboration and content promotion.

Ensure that your content provides value, as this will naturally attract backlinks.

11. SEO Analytics and Regular Audits

SEO is not a one-time task but an ongoing process. Regularly analyzing and auditing your website ensures that your strategies are working and that you’re staying ahead of competitors.

To track SEO performance:

Use tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and SEMrush to track traffic, rankings, and other key metrics.

Perform SEO audits regularly to identify technical issues, broken links, and other potential barriers.

Monitor competitor performance to spot new trends and opportunities.

Why Partner with a Professional SEO Company?

SEO is complex, and staying on top of the latest trends can be challenging. By partnering with a professional SEO Company in Kerala, you ensure that your website is optimized according to the latest trends and best practices. These experts can help you enhance your search visibility, improve your rankings, and drive traffic to your site.

Similarly, businesses in Kochi can benefit from partnering with a SEO Company in Kochi to implement a tailored SEO strategy that drives local traffic and improves conversions.

Conclusion

The SEO landscape is ever-changing, and staying updated on the latest trends is crucial for businesses looking to maintain an online presence. By embracing the top SEO trends mentioned above, businesses can ensure they stay ahead of the curve, increase their visibility, and drive more qualified traffic to their websites. Partnering with an experienced SEO company can help you implement these strategies effectively and achieve long-term success in the digital marketplace.

With a resolute vision to enhance the software development lifecycle, promote collaboration, and facilitate the swift delivery of exceptional applications, DevOps stands as the linchpin of modern technology practices. If you find yourself eager to embark on a journey into the multifaceted realm of DevOps, rest assured that you've arrived at the right juncture. Here, we present you with an extensive roadmap to initiate your DevOps odyssey and, more importantly, to thrive in this vibrant and ever-evolving domain.

DevOps might sound complex, but it all begins with mastering the fundamentals. Start by familiarizing yourself with core concepts like automation, continuous integration, continuous deployment, and containerization. The internet is your treasure trove of resources, with countless articles, online courses, and books to help you grasp these essentials. Building a solid foundation in these areas is crucial as it forms the backbone of your DevOps knowledge.

Acquiring the Essential Skills

Once you're comfortable with the basics, it's time to roll up your sleeves and acquire the necessary skills. DevOps professionals are expected to be well-versed in several areas, such as scripting, automation tools (think Ansible, Puppet, or Chef), containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), version control (Git), and cloud computing platforms (like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud). It's like learning a new language, so patience and practice are key. Set up a testing environment and dive into each of these skills, experimenting and honing your abilities.

Experiment with building and managing containers and dive deep into CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipelines. Real-world projects and scenarios serve as excellent opportunities to apply what you've learned, solidifying your skills and understanding.

The Power of Networking and Collaboration

DevOps is all about breaking down silos and fostering collaboration. Engage with the DevOps community by joining forums, communities, or LinkedIn groups dedicated to this discipline. Sharing experiences, learning from the challenges others have overcome, and networking with like-minded professionals can significantly accelerate your DevOps journey.

Adding Credentials: Certification

Depending on your career aspirations, pursuing DevOps certifications can add significant value to your profile. Certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Docker Certified Associate, or Kubernetes certifications can enhance your credibility and make you a more attractive candidate to potential employers. It's not just about gaining knowledge; it's about showcasing your commitment and competence.

Staying in the Know: Continuous Learning

The tech world is in a constant state of evolution, and DevOps is no exception. To excel in this field, it's essential to stay informed about industry trends and emerging tools and practices. Follow DevOps blogs, attend webinars, and participate in conferences or workshops. Your commitment to continuous learning is what will set you apart.

Applying DevOps in the Workplace

If you're already in the IT industry, leverage the power of DevOps by implementing its practices in your projects. Real-world experience is a significant asset, and it's an excellent way to make an immediate impact within your organization. Whether it's automating repetitive tasks or enhancing collaboration between development and operations teams, applying DevOps principles at work can be a valuable addition to your skill set.

1. Understand Your Audience First

Before you begin running any Google Ads campaign, it’s crucial to know who your audience is. Google Ads offers various targeting options that allow you to reach the right people at the right time. Know who your target market is—demographics, interests & behaviors—to make sure your ads reach potential customers. Understanding your audience helps create effective, personalized campaigns.

2. Use Keywords Wisely

Keywords are at the heart of any Google Ads campaign. Conduct thorough keyword research to identify terms and phrases that are relevant to your business. Tools like Google Keyword Planner can help you find keywords with high search volume and low competition. Using the right keywords will ensure your ads appear in front of the people who are most likely to convert.

3. Create Compelling Ad Copy

Your ad copy is the first thing people will see when they come across your Google Ads. Make it engaging, clear, and persuasive. A good ad should highlight the benefits of your product or service and include a strong call to action (CTA). Keep your messages concise but impactful, and use relevant keywords naturally to make your ad more effective.

4. Utilize Ad Extensions

Google Ads offers several ad extensions that can improve your ad's performance. Extensions like site link, call, location, and review extensions can enhance your ad’s visibility and provide additional information to potential customers. These extra elements make your ad stand out in the search results, giving users more ways to engage with your business.

5. Optimize Landing Pages

Your ads may be driving traffic to your website, but if your landing pages aren’t optimized, all your efforts can go to waste. Ensure that your landing pages are user-friendly, fast-loading, and aligned with the message in your ads. A well-optimized landing page can significantly increase your conversion rates and help turn visitors into customers.

6. Use Retargeting to Reach Previous Visitors

Not everyone who clicks on your ad will make a purchase immediately. This is where retargeting comes in. Retargeting allows you to re-engage visitors who previously interacted with your website but didn’t convert. By showing them targeted ads as they browse other sites, you can bring them back to your business and increase the chances of conversion.

7. Track Conversions and Adjust Accordingly

Tracking conversions is essential for understanding the effectiveness of your Google Ads campaigns. Make use of Google Ads’ conversion tracking tools to measure actions such as purchases, form submissions, or phone calls. By monitoring your conversions, you can identify which ads are performing well and which need improvement. Constantly optimizing your campaigns based on data will help you get the best results from your Google Ads marketing efforts.

8. Leverage Google’s Smart Bidding Strategies

Google offers a range of automated bidding strategies, including Target CPA (Cost Per Acquisition), Target ROAS (Return on Ad Spend), and Maximize Conversions. These smart bidding options use machine learning to help you achieve your advertising goals without the need to manually adjust bids. These strategies can help you save time and optimize your ad spend for better results.

9. Test Your Ads Regularly

Testing is crucial in any marketing strategy, and Google Ads is no exception. A/B testing allows you to compare different versions of your ads to determine which ones perform better. You can test elements such as headlines, ad copy, and CTAs. Regular testing ensures that your ads remain fresh and relevant, and it allows you to continuously improve their effectiveness.

10. Partner with a Google Ads Marketing Agency
