Description

Today I'm walking you through the marketing red flags I see every single day in the wild. Especially with small, service-based and local businesses. No shame or judgment! Just some loving truth-telling from your favourite copywriter and marketing strategist.

In this episode, I cover:

  • The #1 website mistake almost every small business makes (and how to fix it)
  • Why repeating the same message in different ways confuses your audience
  • How your website ends up looking like a brochure — and what to do instead
  • Why your calls to action matter more than you think
  • What clear CTA copy looks like (and why “clever” usually hurts conversions)
  • How unclear messaging stops people from ever hiring you
  • Why showing up only when you're selling is sabotaging your marketing
  • What “nurture content” actually means for small businesses

Website & Marketing Audits

If your website feels confusing or messy, I can audit your copy, layout, and user experience so you know exactly what to fix.
