What exactly is a marketing funnel — and why does it matter so much for B2B businesses?

In this episode of The RAW Spotlight, Emily Au sits down with Ready Artwork CEO Victor Huynh to break down one of the most fundamental concepts in marketing: the funnel. From top-of-funnel awareness to mid-funnel nurturing and bottom-of-funnel conversions, Victor explains how understanding your customer's mindset at every stage can dramatically improve your marketing results.

They explore why many B2B companies struggle to convert leads, the common mistakes businesses make (especially skipping the mid-funnel), and how tactics like SEO, paid ads, email drip campaigns, webinars, and trade shows fit into a cohesive funnel strategy.

If your leads aren't turning into deals — or you're unsure how to measure funnel performance — this episode will give you clarity, structure, and actionable insights.

So, get comfortable, settle in, and get ready to be inspired.

The internet is flooded with content, yet very little of it actually elicits trust. In a world where AI can generate endless articles in seconds, how do you prove that your insights are based on experience, credible, and worth listening to?

Victor Huynh believes the answer lies in making expertise visible and verifiable. Drawing from his experience working closely with B2B leaders, he explains that E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) is not about gaming algorithms, but about showing real-world proof from firsthand experience and displaying credentials, including reputation signals like reviews, backlinks, and consistent author profiles. When done correctly, this framework helps brands stand out as trustworthy authorities instead of blending into a sea of anonymous, low-value content.

In this episode of the RAW Spotlight, Emily Au and Victor Huynh talk about applying E-E-A-T principles to build trust and authority in B2B digital marketing. They discuss what E-E-A-T really means and why it matters more than ever in an AI-driven search landscape, how B2B companies can turn experts and case studies into powerful trust signals, and why author attribution and authentic profiles are critical for long-term credibility.

In today's digital landscape, visibility is everything, especially for B2B companies. You might assume that a Google Business Profile is just for local coffee shops or retail stores, but there may be a lot more potential there than you think. For B2B businesses, showing up on Google isn't just a nice-to-have — it's a necessity. So what does that look like for companies that don't rely on foot traffic or storefronts?

According to Victor Huynh, a seasoned expert in digital marketing, Google Business Profiles are just as crucial for B2B businesses as they are for B2C. While some B2B companies may not have a physical storefront, a well-optimized profile still serves as an authority-building asset online. Google's algorithm treats a verified, physical business location as a critical ranking factor — even for non-local businesses. Victor explains that creating a genuine online presence with the right information helps build credibility and trust, which is especially important in today's AI-driven world where authenticity is key.

In this episode of RAW Spotlight, Emily Au and Victor Huynh talk about why Google Business Profiles matter for B2B companies, how optimization impacts SEO, and what business owners should prioritize. They discuss best practices for creating an accurate and consistent profile across platforms, the importance of photos and reviews, and how it influences local and regional search results. Victor also shares his insights on how leveraging AI with an optimized profile can further boost your visibility.
