Colie James flipped the script & interviewed ME on my own podcast—and honestly?! It might be one of the most real conversations I've had about SEO, business growth, & doing the work I tell everyone else to do (but haven't always done myself 😬).

We're celebrating 5 years of SEO being a game-changer in my business & life. In this episode, Colie & I get into the messy, honest, exciting truth of what it actually looks like to build a business on SEO—including the parts I'm still figuring out!

You’ll even hear a sneak peek at a new offer I'm cooking up 👀

If you've ever thought "I should really do something about my SEO"—this is your sign. The bat signal IS up 🦇 & that “play” button is waiting for you.

One thing I see too often in my work as a Lead Gen Strategist & SEO Coach are missed SEO opportunities.

Everything from social media bios without a keyword, headshots that aren’t titled appropriately, & blog posts with no focus keyword.

But the worst offender is the one I’m guiding you through today.

→ Ineffective (or missing) on-page SEO strategies for your “core website pages.”

In this episode, you’ll discover what your 7 “core website pages” are, the 3 easiest SEO strategy pieces to optimize for each page, & how to optimize those core pages for SEO—without spending even one second doing keyword research.

“A blog that gets you found online gets you PAID.”

I have a MAJOR announcement: Blogging isn’t dead! You’ve just been doing it wrong.

Not only is blogging NOT dead, it can actually make you money—IF you do it correctly.

A blog full of only “how to” articles is a really bad blogging strategy…

Because blogs can be—should be—SO much more.

Your blogs are part of your SEO strategy. They should be getting you found AND booked, making money.

So… here are 5 things you need to do to achieve that.

As an SEO copywriter & strategist, there’s a tight rope of copywriting best practices and SEO best practices that I know and am particularly skilled in helping you walk. Meta descriptions are one of those elements.

You may not know what a “meta description” is called, but I guarantee you know what it is.

You’ve seen it before in the wild—follow me...
→ You go to Google
→ You type something in the search bar
→ You hit enter & see all those websites & blogs

The couple of grey sentences is called a "meta description." And every website has a spot on the backend where you can plug in one of these descriptions.

Meta descriptions play a critical role in your online visibility. In this episode, I’m explaining how they can help or hurt your visibility, mistakes to avoid, and sharing 2 tips to help you craft an effective meta description for your Home page.

“There's a very strategic, super simple way to approach blogs on your website that allows you to be creative AND get found in the process.”

I’ve got a bone to pick with Substack.

Well… not with Substack, but with the stupid Substack craze that’s going on right now.

Everyone—maybe you—is losing their ever loving mind over this platform.

I get it, but there are some yellow flags that are obvious to me as an SEO expert.

Specifically SEO pitfalls that you’ll want to consider IF you’re a business owner… who has a website… AND the content you’re creating is, in fact, related to your business.

Tune in & take notes so you make sure you’re going with the best & most aligned choice for your business.

“I prioritized client work, and my SEO strategy paid the price.”

It's probably surprising that an SEO would ignore her own SEO, but here we are.

And you know what? There's that saying about cobbler's kids, and I just keep seeing how true that is.

You're really skilled in XYZ and you help your clients with that, but then 9 times out of 10, it happens to be a hot mess express on the back end of your own business.

The great news is that hope is NOT lost! There’s a way to fix it & I’m talking you through that 3-step process in this episode.

“Has anyone ever used a lead gen specialist?”

This week in one of the groups I’m a member of, someone asked that question. And let me tell you—I could not respond fast enough. That's literally what I do.

I mean, how many times have you heard me say SEO is the easiest way to bring in new leads consistently? A lot!

I shared some advice with her so she can get more people coming to her new lead magnet, which is really what her question was all about.

Because you can—and should—be weaving in SEO into every single page on your website, social media profile, etc.

And that got me thinking about steps I could share with you that you can take if you also feel like you have a bit of a lead gen problem. So, here you are!
