How to Design a Website with SEO in Mind

The goal of every website is to find harmony between form and function. Businesses want (and need) a website that is both beautiful and ranks well on Google.

Good site design will immediately form a positive impression for the visitor. It will help guide the users’ eyes and easily tell them where you want for them to look. A site that is well designed will build trust and will encourage conversions.

A site that ranks well on Google will consistently drive targeted traffic to the site. An SEO optimized site will increase brand visibility and will build trust with users.

When creating a new website for your business, you don’t have to choose one over the other, good design or SEO. By focusing on design and content you will create a site that seamlessly integrates form and function.

Ready for Change? How to Know When it’s Time for a New Website Design

Having your website redesigned is no easy decision, and we don’t typically encourage it if there’s no reason for it. You have to consider the process of transferring content, how this could impact your SEO, etc., but some cases are a definite yes. Take our case, for instance– we went years with our old website that had outdated content, wasn’t clear about what we did especially after we switched gears with our offers, and didn’t aesthetically align with the direction we were heading.

Now that we’ve gone through with the redesign, we’ve never been happier. We feel our website does a great job in conveying what we do, our personalities, our mission, and funneling in prospects. If you aren’t sure if a new website design is the next move for you, here are 5 signs that it’s time for a change.

Heck, we’ve even landed a high 5-figure client, because our website confirmed for them that we were the ones they wanted to work with.

The possibilities of growth are endless when it comes to TikTok. Its positive effect on business’ success is apparent in the way other social media platforms are creating their own versions of TikTok in-app– from Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts. However, nothing can compare to the “real thing”, which shows in the over 1 billion users TikTok had in just Q1 of 2022, and about that same amount of videos are watched on TikTok every single day (source).

How Your Service Pricing Needs to Change When You Build a Team

What we often see in the service-based industry is after 6-figures have been reached (sometimes multiple 6-figures), service providers will try to replace their current offer with something completely brand new. We know this is super tempting, especially when you’ve reached the point where you’ve started to tap out of what you can personally do within your business.

However, pricing is one of your greatest opportunities for expansion, especially when you can work with fewer people and make more money. While many may acknowledge price shifts over time, they aren’t seeing premium pricing as an opportunity to grow their team.

How Service Providers Can Identify Their Result and Deliver a Profitable Offer

Looking back there is something magical about the beginning stages of business. It’s like we all had this young naive way of thinking at the beginning. You’re learning all the things, you’re hustling, you’re saying yes a lot (probably more than you should have) but you’re doing it. You’re building something that is yours.

And then you get to a point where you’re hitting 10K months consistently. You did the thing! You’ve become an established business owner BUT you’re still holding onto that “beginner” energy. Yeah, you might be making more money but you’re still feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and stretched thin.

How to Build Your Email List Fast

Believe it or not, email is still one of the best ways to market your business. It is estimated that there are 4 billion active email users right now (and that number is projected to increase). According to MarketingSherpa, email is STILL the most preferred marketing channel that most consumers want businesses to communicate with them through.

And not only is email your consumer’s favorite way of communicating but your list is YOURS. It belongs to you. If Instagram shuts your account down, you lose all of your followers. However, that email list you’ve built, you own it and will always be able to market to them.

So now that you know how important email is, you might be wondering how the heck you build an email list and fast? In this blog, we break down our best kept secrets to build your email list.

Do This First When Moving to 1:1 Services

There are a lot of established business owners who are, to say the least, freaking out with the current marketing and lead generation climate. A lot of you are taking clients under the table or starting to offer agency or 1:1 services even though you’ve been building a 1:many business the last few years. While we don’t think this is a bad strategy at all (we actually love it and think you should continue doing it), there are some things to consider first.

More often than not, you’ve gotten used to the digital marketing world where quantity is better than quality; where going viral and getting all the leads, likes, follows, and shares is what’s going to help you get more eyeballs. In a not-so-distant past, that was true. Now, though, there are some mindset shifts that should happen.

And the reason we’re bringing this up now is because we’ve also seen a lot of established business owners (some 7-figure!) that are closing up shop because this is the part where ish gets hard.

Have you considered pivoting or adding on 1:1 services to your existing business?
