The deceptively simple concept of Time to Value might be the most overlooked factor in your SEO strategy. In this eye-opening episode, I break down why the speed at which users experience the core benefit of your website directly impacts your search rankings.

Time to Value (TTV) is that magical moment when a visitor says, "Ah, I get it!" – the instant they realize your site delivers exactly what they needed. Whether it's finding the perfect product, getting a crucial answer, or completing a task, how quickly this happens determines whether they'll stay, bounce, or become loyal visitors. And Google is watching these behaviors closely.

We explore the two distinct types of TTV – Basic Value (the quickest path to main benefits) and Exceed Value (discovering those delightful secondary features) – and why prioritizing that initial value delivery is critical in today's short-attention-span world. You'll learn practical design strategies to reduce your site's TTV, from simplifying onboarding to creating intuitive navigation, clear CTAs, and lightning-fast page speeds.

The beauty of optimizing for Time to Value is that it naturally aligns with Google's core mission: serving the best results to users. When visitors quickly find value on your site, it reduces bounce rates, increases engagement time, boosts conversions, and builds brand loyalty – all signals that tell Google your site deserves higher rankings. Ready to transform your approach to website design? Listen now and discover why being helpful, fast, and clear might be all the SEO strategy you really need.
