Most local business owners are overthinking their website, and it’s costing them traffic, leads, and sales. 

In this episode, I break down the real answers to the questions I get asked all the time: Which website platform is actually best for SEO? How often should you update your site? And do blogs even matter anymore for local businesses?

I walk you through what Google really cares about, how to avoid redesign mistakes that can tank your rankings, and what actually makes a website stand out in competitive markets. We also dive into StoryBrand messaging, why clear structure matters for both SEO and conversions, and how to track whether your website is truly working. 

If you want a website that doesn’t just look good but actually grows your business, this episode is for you.
