I’ve been talking about my Summer SEO Challenge & my August SEO Sprint, which means I’ve been in my DMs. A LOT!

Getting a LOT of questions. Lots of: Where should I start? What do I do first? Which option is best for me?

The short of it is: get in the SEO Sprint & I’ll guide you from there! But this podcast episode is the longer answer.

Because I want you to have a clear idea of where to start, where to go next, & roughly the amount of time it takes to do all these things—and do them WELL. Plus what you can expect after doing all of said things!

Copying your competitors' keywords may seem like a smart shortcut, but… it's not.

This comes up a lot in my DMs & on discovery calls. And every time, it leads to the same problem: keywords that don't actually reflect YOUR vision, YOUR offers, or YOUR clients.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why competitor-based keyword research keeps you stuck & what to do instead so you can build a better bat signal and finally get found online by aligned clients!

One of my monthly SEO support clients shared something that I have got to share with you! Especially if you are convinced that SEO gets more difficult over time…

Because SEO does not in fact get more difficult. It gets easier. 

But you need to move through things thoughtfully, strategically, and they simply work out better if you go in a specific order. So that's what I'm going to be sharing with you today. 

Thing 1: is what my SEO client realized. Thing 2: the fastest way to improve SEO for your website.

You don't have to quit Instagram. You just have to stop needing it to be your ENTIRE marketing strategy. 

That's exactly where so many of my clients are when they find me. 

→ Either Instagram isn't working at all, or it's working just fine & they're just SO over it. They’re looking for a marketing strategy that will bring clients TO them!

In this episode, I'm sharing what happened when I took an 18-month break from posting on the ‘gram, how SEO supported me, & what it looked like for my client Elli, too! (Spoiler: her website & blogs are now doing the heavy lifting while she builds out a van with her hubby.)

"SEO takes 6 months." You've heard it. I've said it. You’ve gotten discouraged by it. But that’s not my answer anymore—because it's not what I've seen happen with my clients.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what SEO results actually look like, why the "6 months" rule doesn't apply when you start from the right place, & I’m sharing 2 client stories that'll have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about an SEO timeline.

Spoiler: one of them even went from "I'm not a blogger" to making digital product sales from her blog. 👀

“You always stood out to me because you explain SEO in a very down-to-earth way. You make it so practical & doable.”

I’m BACK with another former SEO & Grow grad & another epic case study episode—and this one has me doing a happy dance! 

Heidi Thompson, wedding industry marketing expert and SEO program grad, is here sharing exactly what's changed in her business since getting her SEO strategy locked in.

In this episode with Heidi, you get a behind-the-scenes look of what it's like to do SEO when you help a LOT of different types of clients, how SEO fits perfectly into her "life first" business style, & why her next project has her even more excited about SEO!
