After dissecting 100 B2B homepages, Talia breaks down the 3 biggest mistakes brands are making on their homepage and the one thing they need to do, to fix it. 

The bottom line? It isn’t a design or UX problem, it isn’t a traffic problem - it’s a customer-centricity problem. 

Across industries, the same 3 problems showed up again and again: 

1. unclear or generic messaging that focuses on the company instead of the buyer, 
2. overly complicated layouts that make it hard to understand what’s being offered, 
3. and a complete lack of emotional resonance. 

This isn’t just a B2B problem. It’s a widespread issue that’s happening on most websites.

AI is deciding what your prospects learn about your brand, are you ready?

Today, when someone is looking for a solution, they don’t just Google you, they ask AI. And AI doesn’t JUST read your homepage. It pulls sentiment, conversations, reviews, comments, and opinions from all over the web to decide what buyers see about your brand. 
In this episode of Heart Before Cart Talia explains how AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity shape brand perception and the one thing you should research this week if you want to win in an AI-driven buying journey.

In the 3rd episode of Heart Before Cart, I'm breaking down one of the biggest website mistakes marketers make: generic, misused social proof. I'll show you how to turn fluffy praise into high-converting trust builders without faking a single thing.

🎯 Here’s what’s inside:

• Why most testimonials don’t convert
• The 3-step method to make your social proof strategic (not random)
• A case study that boosted paid signups by 76%
• The one tool you’re overlooking: community
• A sneak peek at the Emotional Targeting book bundle (coming soon)

If you’re ready to make your website work harder (without redesigning everything), this episode is for you.

Most marketers think more tests, more tools, and more tactics will lead to better conversions, but that mindset is actually killing their results and causing loads of frustration. 

In this episode of Heart Before Cart Talia shows us how conversions are really made: through understanding how customers make decisions.

You’ll learn:

• Why doing more is killing your conversions
• The real reason people hesitate to take action
• Two simple surveys that reveal what’s stopping or motivating your customers
• How to use customer insights to increase conversions without burnout

In this episode of Heart Before Cart, Talia shows you how to increase conversions with Reddit, how we helped a US university boost leads by 23% ... not with a redesign, not with “best practices,” but with social listening. 

👉 See how mining Reddit, Quora, and even YouTube comments uncovers the exact words and worries your customers bring to your page.
👉 Watch the before-and-after of the university program page we rewrote based on those insights on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv8_0ynbVgQ&t=5s 
👉 Steal this method to run experiments that actually move the needle (and not just your to-do list).

If you want to stop guessing and start running tests that solve real problems, this episode is for you.

Bonus: I also talk about my interview with Social Media Examiner, the talk I’m prepping for Digital Olympus and the tools I’m geeking out on this week.
