Welcome to “The AI Growth Trap”

The AI Growth Trap explores why more traffic doesn’t always lead to more business growth. Through conversations with industry experts, we look at how AI is changing customer acquisition, where businesses lose potential customers, and how they can turn existing traffic into real results.

Episode 01: Door’s Open, Nobody’s Staying

A full-length conversation on why traffic fails to convert and what to do about it. Billal
breaks down real insights from his years building acquisition engines at Google and Pinterest, then shares practical fixes from his work at Convert Yesterday. The episode is built on what we learn from Episode Zero feedback and includes a Partner Spotlight near the midpoint.

Episode Zero: The AI Growth Trap

An intro conversation with Billal that sets up the big idea behind the podcast: more AI
traffic doesn’t mean more growth if people leave without converting. We’re using it to test our hook, how clearly the idea lands, and how interested people are. We’ll also cut short clips and reels from it for social, and the feedback we collect shapes Episode One.
