245. Your Small Thinking is Keeping You Small

In this episode, I dive into the big question many wedding pros face: should you invest in paid advertising on listing sites like The Knot and WeddingWire, or focus more on organic marketing?

Drawing from a recent WeddingPro article, my own experiences, and real-life examples from my students, I'll break down the conversion rates and effectiveness of different lead sources. 

You'll gain practical tips on tracking lead conversion, blending paid and organic strategies, and making data-driven decisions to grow a successful wedding business without feeling overwhelmed.

Do you run paid ads? This episode is dedicated to all my fellow wedding pros who’ve ever wondered about the right time to start leveraging Google Ads.
