What's in our 8th Episode? It's Part 2 with Laura Jawad!

•Brittany, Crystal and guest Laura Jawad chat about how SEO enabled Laura to fill her client roster (Part 2).
• They discussed the importance of using Google as a keyword exploration tool.
• Calls to action and internal linking are important in keeping people engaged with your website.
•Google recently released a core update which has caused some SEOs to see a decline in traffic or ranking.
• Google's goal is to serve up the best answers to questions that are Googled, so if content is expert, trustworthy, and relevant, rankings may shift but will not be taken away entirely.
• Google's algorithm prioritizes three things: expert content, trustworthiness, and relevance.
• Conversion is key - make sure you're clear about what services you offer and how to contact you.
• Instagram success may come down to whether or not someone has "it" - i.e., the ability to produce performative content that will engage an audience.
• SEO has been a business lifeline for Laura, allowing her to continue driving traffic to her website even when she was unable to post regularly due to health challenges.
• By sharing her personal story, Laura has been able to attract compassionate people into her universe and create deeper connections with them.

Here's some highlights from today's show:

•B is an expert on Instagram and SEO, and she has grown her following by focusing on one thing. Listen to find out what that is!

• Repetition is key when it comes to getting your message across on social media.

•Use keywords to figure out what phrases or words you need to have in your captions so that you can show up as the answer to whatever they're searching for.

•An example of this is using the key word "client testimonials" in a caption about gathering client testimonials. 

•Adding keywords to your Instagram handle or profile name is a great way to optimize your social SEO strategy.

• If you already have an Instagram handle that you're happy with, there's no need to change it just for the sake of keywords.

• You can take your best performing Instagram content and repurpose it for your website

What are you excited to implement on Instagram?

What's in our 2nd episode?
Here's a quick overview:

•People should do keyword research to figure out what terms relate to their business that people are searching for on Pinterest, and then use those keywords in their profile name and description.
• The Pinterest profile name is the bold area underneath one's picture.
• It is important to have 10 boards at a minimum, with 20 pins per board.
• Delete is a naughty word on Pinterest- consider hiding or making secret any boards that are not related to business goals.

Make sure you listen until the end to pick up a genius tip for Pinterest if you use Instagram Reels!

In today's episode, we share a little bit about ourselves and our love of SEO.

•Brittany Herzberg is a copywriter and SEO strategist who helps healthcare business owners.

• The two met in 2018 and started talking about all of the different things they were learning in their businesses (bonding over their love of Dunkin coffee!)
• One of the things that attracted Brittany to SEO was how simple changes can make a big difference.
• For Crystal, meeting Brittany meant having someone to talk to about business growth – somebody she could learn from and bounce ideas off of.
