SEO is not dead — and it’s definitely not optional if you want to grow beyond referrals and social media.

In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m walking you through five practical SEO steps every small business owner can take to optimize their website — starting today. These are the same SEO foundations I use with my clients to help their websites show up in Google and AI-powered search.

I also break down why SEO still matters in the age of AI, why most DIY websites never get found, and how small changes to your copy and structure can completely change your visibility.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

• Exactly what 5 SEO steps to focus on first
• Why keywords still matter (even with AI)
• How to tell if Google and AI can understand your website
• When to DIY, when to get help, and what actually moves the needle

If you want support deciding what to do first, you can book a 1-hour SEO strategy call. If you want it fully done for you, my SEO Foundations & Implementation service is linked in the show notes.

This episode is for the small business owner who’s ready to stop guessing and start building something that actually works.

If you’re a small business owner and someone could search what you do + your city… but you’re not showing up, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m breaking down five quick local SEO wins that actually move the needle. Not theory. Not trends. The same strategies I use with real clients to help service-based businesses show up in Google when it matters most.

We’re talking Google Business Profiles, location keywords, reviews, technical setup, and the biggest mistakes I see small businesses making that keep them invisible online.

If you’re tired of chasing algorithms, posting nonstop on social media, and wondering why your website isn’t doing its job, this episode will give you clarity and a clear next step.

Local SEO doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs to be done right.

Pinterest is a search engine.

So if you’re not using keywords for Pinterest strategically, your pins can look amazing… and still go nowhere.

In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m focusing on Tailwind’s new keyword research tool (beta) and how it helps you find the keywords people are actually searching on Pinterest — without spinning your wheels.

This is NOT a step-by-step tutorial (I cover that visually in the blog + YouTube). Instead, I’m giving you the strategy behind the tool so you know what to look for, what matters, and how to choose keywords that can drive real traffic.

Inside this episode, I cover:

• What Tailwind’s keyword tool shows you (demand, related suggestions, and “resonance”)
• How to tell the difference between keywords that help vs. keywords that waste your time
• Why diversifying keywords across your pins matters (especially if you batch content)
• The keyword mistakes that quietly tank reach (vague boards, trend-chasing, mismatched links)
• When Tailwind helps most — and when I still start with Google Search Console first

If Pinterest feels like you’re posting without knowing why, this episode is your clarity moment. Grab your coffee - and let’s make your Pinterest strategy way more intentional.

In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m getting honest about how web design affects SEO—and the quiet red flags I keep seeing that are hurting traffic after website redesigns.

I’m sharing real examples from behind the scenes where beautiful, high-end websites launched… and then lost rankings, visibility, and inquiries. Not because the business did anything wrong, but because SEO was treated like a checkbox instead of a strategy.

We’re talking about what “SEO ready” actually means, why structure matters more than aesthetics, how design decisions impact search visibility, and the questions you have to ask before signing a web design contract.

This isn’t about blaming designers or second-guessing past decisions. It’s about giving you clarity, so you can protect your website, your traffic, and the work you’ve already built.

If you’ve ever wondered why a new website made things worse—or you’re planning a redesign and want to do it right—this episode is for you.

Coffee & Conversions is officially here—and this episode explains why.

For over two years, this show lived under the name Being Better Everyday. And while that name fit a season of growth, curiosity, and learning, it started to feel heavy. Like pressure. Like one more standard to meet in a world already obsessed with optimization.

So I’m closing that chapter.

In this launch episode, I share the real story behind the rebrand—what changed in my life, my business, and my relationship with “self-improvement,” and why Coffee & Conversions feels aligned with how I actually live and work now.

We talk about:

• Why constant “being better” started to feel like pressure instead of progress

• How hustle culture, productivity talk, and body optimization made the name feel not as intended

• Why conversions matter—and why SEO, web design, and strategy can’t live in silos

• What this podcast will continue to be about (and what it won’t)

This isn’t a reinvention. It’s a refinement.

If you want honest, understandable strategy around SEO, web design, Pinterest, and organic growth—without tech bro jargon or hustle culture—you’re already in the right place.

Welcome to Coffee & Conversions. I’m really glad you’re here.

In this episode, I sit down with Amy from Hello & Co. to talk about something every small business owner quietly stresses about… their website copy. We go deep into why good copy matters, what actually keeps people reading, and why design alone will never carry the weight of your message.

We also get real about the big question floating around the online business world: Is AI coming for copywriters? Amy and I break down what AI can help with, where it falls flat, and why human connection and real storytelling still win every time.

If you’ve ever stared at your website and thought “this just doesn’t sound like me,” or wondered when it’s time to hire a copywriter vs. DIY, this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been craving.

We talk about: • what makes website copy actually convert • when DIY copy stops working • the difference between “pretty words” and strategic messaging • how personality, tone, and connection impact sales • using AI as a tool without losing your voice • why great copy transforms the way people experience your business

Whether you’re updating your site, prepping for a rebrand, or trying to attract better-fit clients, this conversation will shift the way you think about the words on your website.
