You've invested in professional photography. Your portfolio looks incredible. Your social media presence is growing. And yet… those high-end clients you've been aiming for? They're still not booking. Something isn't lining up, and the culprit might be hiding in plain sight: your website. Many interior designers assume that a visually attractive website is enough to convert browsers into buyers. But what if your site's design choices are actually sending subtle signals that work against the luxury service you provide? What if, despite your best efforts, your digital presence is whispering “entry-level” to the very clients you're trying to attract? I sit down with branding and web strategist Nicole Heymer, founder of Glory & Brand, to unpack the exact elements that create a high-end feel online, and the seemingly small details that can quietly sabotage it. We talk fonts, color palettes, white space, and layout, but we also go deep on things most designers overlook, like SEO structure, AI search visibility, and the impact of editorial copy on how your business is perceived. Whether you're a seasoned designer ready to uplevel your client base or you're just starting out and want to set the right tone from the get-go, this conversation is a must-listen. Because in the luxury market, your first impression isn't made in person, it's made on your website. And it needs to feel just as high-end as the spaces you create. You'll learn: ✅ How to make your website immediately feel more high-end ✅ The small website mistakes that silently repel luxury clients ✅ Where SEO and AI intersect, and how your site can start working 24/7 ✅ Why strong copy and professional photography are non-negotiable If you're an interior designer looking to attract premium clients and elevate your brand presence online, this is the episode that's going to help you get there. Listen now and learn how to align your digital first impression with the level of service you actually provide.   (00:00) The two-bucket problem - traffic vs. conversion (02:39) Why a beautiful site isn't enough if no one sees it (06:00) What makes a website feel upscale (fonts, white space, color restraint) (12:30) Balancing minimalism and SEO using hidden copy and structure (16:02) How to handle your site when you've only got one good project (20:59) AI reads everything: Why your site copy matters more than ever (25:10) Costly DIY mistakes even luxury designers make on their websites   About Nicole Heymer   Nicole Heymer is the founder and creative director of Glory & Brand, a boutique agency specializing in branding, website design, and marketing automation for interior designers, architects, and builders. Since launching in 2011, Nicole has been known for her clear, practical approach to digital strategy, helping clients craft upscale, conversion-focused online presences that reflect their unique value.

What if you could work just three days a week… and still run a thriving dental practice? In this episode of The Thriving Dentist Show, Gary Takacs and co-host Naren Arulrajah explore a powerful idea that's on the minds of many dentists today: how to create more free time without losing income or control of your practice. If you've ever felt burned out or just wish you had more balance in life, this episode is for you. Gary shares how he's helped many dentists make the three-day work week a reality. From smart scheduling to reducing insurance headaches, you'll hear real-world strategies that work. They talk about how two dentists can share the week and still keep the office running five days, or how a solo dentist can stay just as productive by working smarter—not longer. You'll also learn how to build a strong, happy team that loves the schedule as much as you do. Naren jumps in with simple marketing tips to help attract patients for high-value services like implants, Invisalign, or cosmetic dentistry. He explains why great landing pages, real patient stories, and search engine optimization (SEO) can help you get more of the right patients—without spending a lot on ads. These ideas make it easier to grow your income, even with fewer workdays. Whether you're just starting to think about a lighter schedule or you're ready to take action, this episode gives you a clear path forward. Gary and Naren break it all down in a way that's easy to follow and proven to work. It's not just a dream—you really can build a life and practice your love with more time, more freedom, and less stress.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you doing great work but still feel like your agency's stuck in neutral? The truth is, talent alone doesn't scale a business. In this episode our guest, Stephen Woessner—author, agency growth strategist, and founder of Predictive ROI—reveals why most agencies hit a ceiling... and how to break through with a smarter, more strategic approach. From developing a true methodology to showing up with content that teaches, we dive into what's working now (and what's not) when it comes to agency growth, client expectations, and scaling with intention. If you've ever relied a little too heavily on referrals, be unsure of your niche, or found yourself winging it without a real system—this one's for you. Tune in to learn how to enhance your agency's approach to attracting clients and scaling your business! Stephen Woessner is the founder of Predictive ROI, an agency that helps clients build predictable and repeatable ROI so they can focus on doing the work they love alongside clients they choose. With over 30 years of experience, including a six-year stint in academia, Stephen discusses what's working right now to get more leads, why getting specific is vital for agencies, and why the journey to scaling your journey requires patience, as well as methodology. Stephen also hosts the "Onward Nation" and "Sell with Authority" podcasts and is the bestselling author of five books, including his latest, “Sell With Authority". In this episode, we'll discuss: Why you should be ridiculously specific. Developing a true methodology to showcase your process. How a softer approach can lead to bigger wins.

The Power of Specificity (and Content That Teaches) Stephen has had a long career in the agency world, starting thirty years ago, before ROI was a thing, and working alongside agencies and consultants — teaching them how to build their authority within the markets they serve. He worked six-years in academia while also sharing his knowledge in his first books on Viral Social Networking and SEO. The expertise shared in these books got him requests to work as a consultant for different businesses, which led to him starting his own agency in 2009. At his agency, Stephen commonly works with agencies and consultants that are going about sales and new business development in the least effective, most painful way possible. In fifteen years, he's seen a lot in the business and now brings his own perspective on what's currently working in the agency space. According to him, success comes from being ridiculously specific—about who you serve, what you offer, and how you market it. It's not about flashy gimmicks or one-size-fits-all strategies. Agencies that clearly communicate their expertise and share their knowledge generously (even for free!) are the ones building long-term trust. With the many AI tools available for marketers nowadays, there just isn't a valid excuse for not putting your own content out there to attract clients with valuable tips that show your expertise. These should be small, actionable pieces that solve real problems. That kind of generosity leads to high-quality leads who already trust you by the time they reach out. While the tools might not be polished yet, they show just how easy it is now to create content and show up consistently. The key is that agencies need to be intentional, have a point of view, know their clients' real pain points and speak to them clearly. Raise the Bar or Get Left Behind Today's clients are smart. They're looking for specialized, strategic partners—not generalists who throw spaghetti at the wall. Agencies that develop a true methodology, a real system for delivering results, stand out. It's not just about the work—it's about the process behind it. Simply put, a solid methodology builds trust. It shows prospects that you know what you're doing and that you've done it before. And yes, it's a big part of what makes an agency sellable down the road. If you're familiar with games like “Age of Empires,” the process of building your methodology will be a lot like starting scrappy in the stone age—just you, maybe a freelancer or two. But as you gather resources (aka leads, a team, and tools) and build systems (onboarding, sales, and delivery processes), you level up. The methodology evolves as you grow—and mastering each stage is what gets you to the next one. The path to growth requires structure, clarity, and an intentional approach. If you're still winging it with no repeatable system in place it might be time to rethink the game plan. How a Softer Approach Can Lead to Bigger Wins Other than a methodology, the journey to the top will also require patience. Scaling an agency is rarely instantaneous and each stage of development comes with its own challenges and learning experiences. Agencies at various levels of growth face unique challenges, and the aspiration to leap from a level two to level thirty-seven—is just unrealistic. You need to experience the wins and losses that truly gives you the expertise to sustain growth and learn to appreciate that they've prepared you for the next challenges and goals. Jason was actually confronted with this lesson while preparing for his latest event, which although did eventually sell out, but did so much more slowly than he would've liked. In the end, the team made the decision to stop being pushy about promoting the event and instead try to be more inviting. A pushy attitude will likely be met with resistance. Instead, a gentle nudge or an invitation to explore creates a sense of curiosity and openness. By reframing the conversation from one of pressure to one of invitation, he was able to build trust and rapport. People are more likely to engage when they feel they have the autonomy to make choices without feeling coerced. This is the same principle that drives successful business generation. Instead of being pushy, make sure you're sharing case studies, insights, or even hosting webinars that allow prospects to learn and engage with the agency's expertise. Trust that you're offering great value that resonates with the target audience, encouraging your audience to lean in and explore further, rather than overwhelming them with hard sells. Creating Content That Draws the Right Clients In So what is the type of content agencies should be creating to get prospects to lean in? The first thing that may make you feel like you're screaming into the void is trying to attract just any client who can sign a check. Successful companies have shown that focusing on a select group of high-performing clients can lead to tremendous success. This does not mean that if you start to work with plumbers you'll have to work with that niche in perpetuity. A niche can also be a specific problem you solve or an area you serve, not just an industry. When you focus on "right fit" clients, you'll attract people you genuinely enjoy working with who choose to stay with your business long-term. When agency owners narrow their focus, they can tailor their offerings to meet the unique needs of their chosen niche. This not only enhances the quality of service but also simplifies the content creation process. Once the target audience is identified, agencies can generate relevant and engaging content that addresses the specific problems and pain points of their clients. At this point, you can focus on sharing content that makes a lasting impression. By providing valuable information upfront, you'll no doubt capture the attention of potential clients and build credibility. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

In this episode, Mike Walrath of Yext tackles the strategic dilemma of optimizing for Google AI Overviews versus alternative search environments. He argues that optimizing for Google's AI search already leverages existing SEO practices, while diversifying to other platforms creates additional visibility opportunities. Walrath predicts established search players will continue gaining market share, highlighting how younger demographics' search behaviors are reshaping discovery patterns and reducing Google's dominance.

The power of consistency, community, and time management with Christina Leopold from Addicted to Dates.  ----- Welcome to episode 519 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Christina Leopold from Addicted to Dates.  How Christina Leopold of Addicted to Dates Turned Content into Community and Hit 550K Followers This week's episode dives deep into the journey of food blogger Christina Leopold, who built and scaled her brand, Addicted to Dates. Her story is packed with gold for anyone looking to grow their online gig. One of the biggest takeaways? Consistency is key, but working smarter with your content is essential for staying sane. Christina also spills the tea on turning her passion into a full-time hustle. She had to get down to business with things like SEO and figuring out how to make money. Plus, she emphasizes the power of knowing your worth and when to bring in some extra hands. Finally, we chat about the importance of connecting with your community and fellow creators. It's all about building those authentic relationships and learning from each other! Three episode takeaways: Consistency and repurposing are your best friends: Christina's journey highlights that showing up regularly (like her daily posts for years!) is huge. To maintain your sanity, you'll have to get smart about your content – think repurposing and making the most out of what you create (like turning one recipe into a bunch of posts). Treat your blog like a business (because it is!): Making the leap to full-time meant learning about SEO, monetization, and how to manage her time like a boss. Hiring help, tracking analytics, and creating systems (like batching recipe posts) gave her more space to focus on the creative stuff she loves. How connections can fuel growth: From community support to brand partnerships, Christina emphasizes the power of real connections. Engaging with others has opened doors to brand collaborations, steady income, and long-term growth.

" It's a quirky and complex puzzle."  In the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff, on the stroke of midnight during a hellish thunderstorm, you hear a scream. You all rushed to the town square to find that your beloved storyteller has been murdered! This is the work of a nefarious demon... a demon that kills by night and takes on human form by day. Blood on the Clocktower is a game of lies and truth, team building and betrayal, and a game of secret identities. It is also, in our opinion, the best social deduction game in the world. Steven Medway, the creator of Blood on the Clocktower, joins us to talk about fine-tuning the balance of the game, the role of dead players, how the game experience changes depending on which country you're playing in, and so much more. What sets Blood on the Clocktower apart from other social deduction games is how well-balanced it feels as a player. Much of the information given and gathered by the "good team" works like a sort of logic puzzle, as the players piece together the truth in a variety of ways. However, the "evil team" is given many opportunities to spread misinformation, which really levels the playing field. There are also affordances made for "dead players" as well as people joining the game late or leaving early. Steven shares insights about his design process when creating characters and mechanics for Blood on the Clocktower. He also answers questions from our listeners. I was particularly fascinated by the segment where he talks about how the gaming experience varies by country. Whether you're a game designer interested in balancing strategy games or just a fan of Blood on the Clocktower, I highly recommend checking out this interview.   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, COGS by Clockwork Dog, and Patreon supporters like you.    Weldwood Marketing Maximize your online presence with Weldwood Marketing.

I've been paying an agency to run our Meta ads and for some time Meta itself has been reaching out to take over the account. Let that sink in. The same platform your agency relies on is actively trying to cut you out of the picture. The worst part? This is just one example of a much bigger shift. Big tech is building tools that create entire campaigns—copy, design, video, testing—without a human in sight. Your strategist? Replaced. Designer? Replaced. Copywriter? Gone. I get it. It's a hard pill to swallow, but it isn't necessarily the end of agencies. It's just the end of the ones that built their model on tasks. So what's the future for agencies? Agencies Built on Tasks Are Already Obsolete Let's get real: if you're still selling deliverables, your agency's already falling behind. What AI can't replicate is leadership. At the end of the day clients want results and direction. Smart agencies are not selling tasks anymore. They're selling thinking. Here's how they're staying ahead: 1. Productize the Thinking, Not the Task Most agencies sell what they do – SEO, ad management – Clients don't care that you “run Facebook ads.” They want results. Instead of saying “We run ads for local businesses,” say “We help local gyms get 100 leads in 30 days with a proven 3-step system.” You just went from vendor to strategic partner that sell a system that scales. Productizing your thinking means turning your knowledge into a framework. When you package your thinking and your strategy as something like “The 30-Day Lead Domination System” or “The 5-Step Authority Engine” your expertise becomes a product. That's what scales. 2. Sell Speed and Certainty Speed is an agency superpower. Most clients aren't losing to competitors—they're drowning in indecision. They don't need more options—they need momentum. So skip the six-week strategy plan. Instead of saying “We'll optimize your funnel,” offer quick wins: “We'll launch your highest-converting offer by Friday.” Certainty is what closes deals. Clarity is what makes them stick. 3. Own Your Niche Generic is dead. The riches are still in the niches. Solve a very specific problem for a very specific group of people. The more specific your promise, the more profitable your agency will become. 4. Use AI—But Don't Compete With It Don't just talk about AI—implement it. Show your clients how to use AI to streamline workflows, automate leads, and improve reporting. Become the AI Sherpa, not the tool. If you're not guiding your clients through AI, someone else will. 5. Build Client Community Want to be irreplaceable? Connect your clients to each other. Host virtual meetups. Build a mastermind. Facilitate introductions. Create spaces for idea-sharing. AI will never replace real human connection—and your clients are craving it. We've seen this firsthand with the agency mastermind: community is the real secret weapon. 6. Be the Guide, Not the Gun Execution is cheap. Clarity is priceless. AI will never replace someone who can build leads. Be the one who filters the noise. Be the coach. Once you step into that role, I can promise you your value will skyrocket. So, Did Zuck Kill the Agency Model? Not Even Close. He didn't kill it—he evolved it. The agencies that lead, think, and adapt will be the ones that thrive. Those that keep selling tasks will get replaced. Agency Mastermind Still feel like you're winging it? You're not alone. Most agency owners hit a plateau because they're stuck in the business, buried in decisions, and disconnected from people who get it. The agencies killing it and scaling faster found out they needed to be in the right room.

Have you ever wondered how some service businesses seem to dominate their local markets while others struggle to get seen? The secret might be simpler than you think – and it all starts with how you show up on Google. Today's guest breaks down what really works in local SEO, how to increase your visibility without increasing your workload, and why finding your niche might be the smartest move you can make. Bradley Benner is a leading local SEO expert and the founder of multiple businesses, including TreeCareHQ, Semantic Mastery, Semantic Links, and Semantic SEO. With over a decade of experience in agency building, lead generation, and SEO coaching, Bradley helps both business owners and marketing professionals create systems that convert clicks into clients. Why Local SEO Still Matters Even with the rise of AI-driven search, Google Maps still drives the majority of local leads – nearly 70%, according to Bradley. But most business owners aren't optimizing their Google Business Profiles the right way. From posting geo-tagged photos to writing location-specific content, Bradley shares actionable strategies that help local businesses get seen and generate results. He also emphasizes why local businesses should aim to rank in both Maps and traditional search results. It's not just about visibility – it's about building long-term authority and creating a safety net when algorithms shift. Why Niching Down Changes Everything In 2020, Bradley made a pivotal shift by focusing solely on tree service contractors – a decision that helped him streamline his processes, scale faster, and build a thriving local agency. By specializing, he was able to reuse assets, simplify his marketing, and generate predictable results for his clients. Today, his white-label SEO agencies serve other marketers looking for efficient, proven systems. Whether you're a service-based business owner or a marketing pro supporting them, this episode is packed with practical SEO insights and long-term strategy. Enjoy this episode with Bradley Benner… Soundbytes 8:20-8:34 “Just because we may have a skill like being able to know how to get stuff to rank in Google, that doesn't mean that you're going to be effective at being able to convert that skill into money – not just for yourself as the SEO professional, but for the business that you're selling that service to.” 10:14-10:34 “In 2020 I niched down. I finally decided to ignore anybody else other than tree contractors from my own local SEO agency. And boy, that was the biggest thing, the best thing I could have ever done. Because it simplified my business significantly from the workload.” Quotes “If you can build enough brand strength, you can typically rank well, even if you have terrible SEO.” “About 70% of the leads that are generated from Google Search come from maps.” “One of the most valuable things that they can do is just train their technicians to take three to five photos from a mobile device.” “AI is changing search behavior fast. If your business isn't feeding the model, you're invisible.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://semanticmastery.com/ Connect with Bradley Benner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleybenner/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

In this insightful episode, Jerry Kennedy dives deep into the important topic of chiropractic website ownership versus renting. Learn about the pros, cons, and misconceptions surrounding website management to make the best decision for your chiropractic practice. Key Points Discussed: 1. The Catalyst for This Discussion Jerry shares his experience with seeing a social media ad discouraging chiropractors from renting websites, advocating instead for ownership.   Highlights the misleading aspects of this marketing approach. 2. The True Purpose of Your Chiropractic Website Your website should clearly represent your practice and communicate your value to potential patients. It should create an immediate feeling of reassurance and relief for your ideal patients, helping them know they've found the right chiropractor. 3. Common Misconceptions About Renting vs. Owning Owning a website does not eliminate ongoing costs (hosting, domain renewal, plugins, maintenance). Renting doesn't inherently mean you're throwing away money; it could offer consistent value and peace of mind. Website Management Options Explored: Option 1: DIY (Do It Yourself) Pros: Cheapest initial cost; complete control. Cons: Time-consuming, requires technical and design skills, full responsibility for problems. Option 2: DIY with Professional Help (Hybrid Model) Pros: Professional initial setup, saves significant time, good initial functionality and appearance. Cons: High upfront costs, ongoing technical maintenance responsibilities, potential hidden SEO and functional flaws. Option 3: Full Website Service Pros: Professional management, design, and SEO optimization; ongoing support and updates; leveraging expert experience. Cons: Higher ongoing monthly cost; less direct control for those who prefer hands-on management. Key Recommendations: Financial Considerations Avoid making website decisions based purely on cost savings. Prioritize overall return on investment and functionality. Practical Tips for Control Maintain control of your domain (URL). Maintain control of your business email setup independently (e.g., Google Workspace). Warning Signs Be cautious of marketing scare tactics. Ensure the website solution you choose genuinely enhances your online presence and patient conversion. How Jerry and Rocket Chiro Can Help: Request a FREE New Patient Search Review: Jerry offers a detailed, personalized video review of your website and SEO effectiveness, clearly explaining your online visibility and patient appeal. Additional services available include website design, ongoing management, and comprehensive SEO services tailored specifically for chiropractors. Closing Thoughts: Choose your website option based on your practice's specific needs, capabilities, and growth goals. Ensure your website consistently represents your chiropractic practice positively and effectively to your target audience. Want Help Growing Your Practice?

What is podcast SEO? In this episode Andi chats with Brittany Herzberg (the queen of SEO) and breaks down how we can use SEO for our podcasts in a way that doesn't make me want to run away screaming. Brittany Herzberg is an SEO strategist and copywriter who has been using SEO to increase podcast discoverability for her own podcast and her clients' podcasts for several years. She is good at explaining concepts like SEO keywords and visibility in a way that is simple, but very affective.Topics discussed in this episode:Podcast SEO basicsPodcast SEO examplesPodcast discoverabilityPodcast SEO keywordsPodcast SEO best practicesHow to get your podcast SEO rightHere's the one thing you should implement in your podcast if you're feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to start and that is…making sure that your episode titles are 60 characters or less. Getting into this habit will be super helpful for you as you are starting your podcast. Like Brittany said during our conversation, it helps your ideal listener know what the episode is going to be about (because the title doesn't get cut off with an ellipsis). And whenever you interview someone make sure to use their name in the title as well, so that when people are searching for that person, your episode comes up!

Have you ever felt like you don't have enough time to blog consistently? What if I told you that you could successfully run your blog in just five hours a week? https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode196 In this week's episode of Creatives on Fire, we're diving into how to work smarter—not harder—with a blogger's take on the five hour work week. Inspired by Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek, this strategy is all about simplifying your workflow, focusing on what moves the needle, and creating consistent momentum. Let's break down how you can make blogging fit into your schedule—one hour a day. Can Blogging in Five Hours a Week Actually Work? Yes, my friend, it absolutely can. The key to making this work is consistency. You don't need endless hours or a huge audience to start building a profitable blog—you need a plan, a routine, and the discipline to stick to it. Step One: Make a Plan The first step is to map out what each hour of your blogging week will look like. Break the work into five main buckets and assign one task to each weekday. Monday: Draft Your Post Spend your hour outlining and drafting your blog post inside WordPress. This includes doing keyword research and writing your SEO title and headers. Use AI to speed things up if you need to. Tuesday: Create the Content Use this hour to bring your content to life. Take step-by-step photos, shoot a video, bake the recipe, or go live with a related tutorial. This is your creation day. Wednesday: Assemble and Schedule the Post Now that you've drafted and created, pull everything together. Upload your images, polish your post, and schedule it to publish next week—so you're always ahead. Thursday: Schedule the Promotions Use this hour to create your Pinterest pins, schedule your social media posts, and write the email that will promote your post. Everything should be prepped for the following week. Friday: Record and Schedule Video Content Optional—but powerful. Use this time to record and schedule your reels, short-form videos, or YouTube content related to your blog post. Step Two: Make It Predictable The real secret? Make your blogging time non-negotiable. Pick a time each day that works best for your life (early mornings are gold!) and show up like it's an appointment you can't miss. Tips for staying consistent: Block your hour on your calendar Use a “Blogging” tab group to reduce distractions Work ahead, not behind Create muscle memory—same routine, same time every day Step Three: Make It a Priority You already know blogging can generate consistent income—ads, affiliate commissions, product sales, and email growth all stem from regular publishing. So ask yourself: If I knew this would work, would I make it a priority? Once you've made the decision to treat your blog like a business, it becomes easier to commit to the five hour framework. Over time, your one hour a day builds lasting success, and that boring, consistent effort becomes your biggest advantage. What If You Want to Blog More Than Once a Week? If you're posting multiple times a week, just double the time. Two blog posts = two hours a day. But here's the beauty of batching—your efficiency will skyrocket. Once you get in the flow, you'll find you can prep several posts at once in even less time. As with anything in business: what's hard at first becomes easier with repetition. Final Thoughts: Boring Work Becomes Brilliant Success Building a successful blog isn't about flashy hacks—it's about consistent action done well over time. With the Five Hour Work Week, you can simplify your process, eliminate decision fatigue, and create sustainable income without burnout. Just remember: Make the plan Make it predictable Make it a priority Because boring work done consistently leads to extraordinary results. Let me know—are you in for the five hour work week? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments over on the blog. Until next time, stay creative.

Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker is joined by CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to unpack whether the AI revolution is as widespread as the hype suggests.

Discover how we generated 11,000+ mortgage leads in just 12 months starting from scratch — with a full-funnel marketing strategy that's applicable across any industry.While most agencies jump straight to tactics, our systematic approach began with fundamental audience research and strategic positioning, enabling DSLD Mortgage to transform from complete dependence on their parent company to self-sufficient lead generation.For marketing leaders at established businesses looking to dramatically scale lead generation, this case study reveals:• Why starting with customer research and positioning is non-negotiable — and how our "Branding and Positioning Accelerator" process identifies your most valuable audience segments and their unique buying journeys• How we reduced cost-per-lead from £100 to £30 through audience segmentation — creating separate ad campaigns, landing pages and email sequences for different customer types• The exact website structure that achieved a 3%+ conversion rate and won "Standout B2C Website of the Year" at the UK Digital Excellence Awards• Our counterintuitive approach to "low-quality leads" that transformed supposedly worthless prospects into a continuous revenue streamI'll share how we built a comprehensive SEO campaign that now generates £200,000 worth of PPC-equivalent traffic monthly, primarily from non-branded keywords representing completely new customers.As I explain in the episode:"Instead of treating their entire audience as one homogeneous group, we created separate campaigns for each audience segment. This allowed us to create ads with messaging tailored to each segment's specific needs, direct traffic to landing pages designed for each audience type, and implement segment-specific email follow-up sequences."If you're ready to build a lead generation system that delivers predictable results without relying on guesswork or vanity metrics, this episode provides your blueprint for success — whether you're in mortgages, renewable energy, or any other competitive market.Get the show notes:https://exposureninja.com/podcast/355/Listen to these episodes next:Copy Rocket Mortgage's $5 Billion Marketing Strategyhttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/353/5 Signs It's Time To Redesign Your Websitehttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/352/A Marketing Leader's Guide to SEO in 2025https://exposureninja.com/podcast/346/

In this episode of the SEO Leverage Podcast, Gert Mellak sits down with Joseph Armstrong, founder of 90 Day Korean, to dive into a story every digital entrepreneur dreads: losing 70% of website traffic overnight. Joseph shares the raw reality of what happened during a devastating Google core update in 2019, how it put his entire business at risk, and how the SEO Leverage team helped turn things around — fast. Within just three weeks, the site had fully recovered, and from there, it doubled its traffic and increased conversions. But this episode is more than just a recovery story. You'll learn: ✅ How to build a resilient online course business over time ✅ The power of internal linking, user experience, and smart content organization ✅ How Joseph evolved 90 Day Korean into a global membership platform ✅ What most course creators get wrong when scaling ✅ How AI and team feedback shape their content and support systems ✅ Why regular customer interviews became a turning point in product development Whether you're a course creator, marketer, or SEO enthusiast, this conversation is packed with real talk, strategic insights, and behind-the-scenes lessons from a founder who's been through the storm — and came out stronger. Podcast Highlights: 05:59 – 06:30 - We Lost 70% of Our Traffic Overnight Joseph shares the gut-wrenching moment when a Google core update wiped out the majority of 90 Day Korean's traffic — a situation many online businesses fear. It instantly raises the stakes and gives the conversation emotional depth and urgency. 07:10 – 08:27 - The SEO Recovery That Took Just 3 Weeks After connecting with Gert, Joseph implemented a focused SEO action plan and fully recovered rankings in just three weeks. This segment shows the real-world power of expert SEO, structured workflows, and quick execution. 09:53 – 11:50 - The Power of Internal Linking and Content Cleanup Joseph and Gert unpack how rethinking internal linking and removing redundant pages helped clarify the site's structure — improving both SEO and user experience. It's a golden nugget for content-heavy websites. 36:43 – 38:16 - Why Customer Interviews Changed the Game Joseph reveals how regularly talking to customers uncovered gaps in the product and guided critical improvements. This is a practical, often-overlooked growth tactic for course creators and SaaS founders. 27:22 – 30:19 - Adopting an AI-First Mindset (Without Losing the Human Touch) Joseph discusses how his team uses AI for support, content structure, and message clarity — while still relying on human review. It's a balanced, real-world look at leveraging AI effectively inside a growing business.   Links: 90 Day Korean - Official Website - https://www.90daykorean.com/   Guest Website Info: Name: Joseph Armstrong Role: Founder & CEO, 90 Day Korean Website: https://www.90daykorean.com Email: joseph@90daykorean.com About: 90 Day Korean is an online Korean language learning platform designed to help English speakers go from zero to confidently holding a 3-minute conversation in just 90 days, and work toward conversational fluency within a year.

You know, I've always believed marketing should feel more like a warm hug than a high-pressure sales pitch. So when Alesia Galati and I got to chatting about social media burnout (oh yes, that nagging, energy-draining beast), it was like she reached into my cluttered content calendar and whispered, “There's a better way.” We laughed, we nodded, and somewhere between SEO tips and podcast rants, I found myself ready to trade reels for real conversations. If you're teetering on the edge of social media fatigue, wondering if there's an off-ramp that doesn't lead to oblivion—good news. There is. And Alicia's got the roadmap. Main Points from the Conversation: Podcasting as a Stress-Free, Strategic Alternative to Social Media Alicia hit a nerve with so many of us—social media can feel like a hamster wheel with no off switch. Podcasting, by contrast, offers a calmer, more intentional way to share content, connect with your audience, and still build your brand without dancing in front of your phone. Guest Appearances as Powerful SEO and Exposure Tools You don't have to do it all yourself. By guesting on other people's shows, you tap into new audiences who already trust the host—and just might trust you too. Bonus? Those appearances show up on Google, helping your digital footprint grow without a single trending hashtag. The Magic of Names and Smart SEO Practices Don't underestimate the power of your own name in a podcast title. Whether it's your show or a guest spot, making your name searchable helps you get found. Retitling old episodes or refreshing descriptions is like giving your content a second wind—and Google loves it when you freshen things up. Newsletter Love and Thoughtful Repurposing Alicia and I both agreed: newsletters are the unsung heroes of content marketing. Sharing new and old episodes, linking to guest features, and curating themes gives your audience a reason to stick around—and gives your podcast episodes a longer shelf life. Pick Your Lane, and Stay There (Happily) You don't need to be everywhere. Really. Pick one platform you like (mine's LinkedIn), build a cozy corner on your website, and focus on podcasting and newsletters to draw people in. When you stop chasing the algorithm and start owning your message, marketing becomes a whole lot more enjoyable

And if you haven't set clear guidelines for how your team (and your clients) engage with it, you're already behind. In this episode, one agency founder shares how he went from AI skeptic to strategic adopter—rewriting his workflows, client communications, and pricing strategy to future-proof his business. Join us as we explore how to move beyond simply offering AI-enhanced services—and start leveraging AI to boost profitability, streamline operations, and establish your agency as a leader in this new era. Paolo Vidali is the founder of Hidden Gears, an agency specializing in e-commerce and Shopify. With over a decade of experience in design, development, and digital marketing, Paolo shares his journey into agency ownership and discusses the challenges and rewards of building a small, distributed team across the US and Europe, as well as the factors that are informing his evolving policies on AI use. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why expertise will still set you apart in the era of AI. How Paolo went from AI skeptic to viewing it as mission-critical. How you can change your agency's game by integrating AI into your operations.  Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources Wix: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by Wix Studio, the all-in-one platform designed to help agencies scale without the headaches.

Making a Low-Risk Jump to Entrepreneurship Paolo sees his road to owning an agency as accidental, in the sense that it was never the plan to do it full time. Initially working for a digital marketing agency focused on B2B and lead generation, he began freelancing on the side. A couple of years into this, however, he realized the work he was doing on the nights and weekends was scalable and something he could ultimately grow. Back then, the jump to entrepreneurship seemed like a move he could realistically make without risking much of the low-cost lifestyle he led at the time. If anything went wrong, he'd just go back to working for an agency. He ended up building a successful organization he has intentionally kept small to maintain the close client relationships and team cohesion that have become hallmarks of his business model. How AI Went from “Maybe” to Mission-Critical After being in the world of e-commerce for over a decade, Paolo has witnessed firsthand the evolution of digital marketing and the rise of platforms like Shopify. And although he initially didn't believe the AI hype, it soon became apparent that the landscape was shifting dramatically. It was time to establish policies that dictated how staff and contractors would interact with this technology, so the agency would always be involved in how they experimented with it. The team's approach to AI evolved in two parallel tracks: externally, they carefully calibrated AI integration based on individual client preferences, while internally conducting tests to identify operational efficiencies. Years later, what Paolo originally envisioned as merely a future service offering has instead become fundamental to the agency's internal operations, with AI tools now dramatically reducing time spent on previously labor-intensive tasks like content creation, customer support, and data analysis. Why Expertise Will Still Set You Apart & How This Can Affect Your Pricing Predictably, one of the concerns around AI as its usage spread was around agencies becoming obsolete. In reality, Paolo can clearly see the difference between his team using AI, with many hours dedicated to understanding the technology and using it effectively, and any random person using the same tools. Now the challenge becomes how much value to place on that knowledge when it comes to their overall prices. Should they charge based on the time saved through automation, or should they consider the expertise required to generate quality outputs? Much like Paolo's mother can still out-Google him thanks to her deep understanding of information retrieval as a librarian, professionals in the field now possess the knowledge to input data effectively and assess the quality of the results produced by AI. This is why agencies should be charging on a value-based model instead of hourly rates. The technology certainly aids in finishing the tasks a lot sooner, but it's the agency's knowledge of the tools that helps complete the task efficiently. ChatGPT Changed the Game—Now Agencies Have to Raise Theirs Paolo's team is conducting systematic A/B testing to evaluate AI's potential impact on their agency workflows, quantifying time savings and process optimizations to determine where technology genuinely enhances value. To foster innovation while maintaining control, Paolo encourages staff to explore diverse AI tools during personal time and share promising discoveries, while implementing strict data protection protocols. Client information can only be processed in secure, isolated environments that prevent data from being incorporated into learning models, which led to his specific ban on Deepseek. AI has already found practical applications throughout the agency. Paolo personally leverages it for copywriting and proposal refinement, appreciating how it enhances professionalism and improves success rates. His team is also using AI for drafting content, something clients are notified about and an area where they are aware the AI results will still need to be fact-checked and revised. In his view, the use of AI has to be justified as being something that adds to the process to save time, cut costs, and improve results, rather than simply being a crutch. Overall, Paolo does think that the way people now shop for and consider content services and content marketing has forever been changed. He's already seen a decline in companies' investment in SEO, since clients feel there's no need if they can just ask ChatGPT to write that content. Despite this shift, he remains confident that agency expertise produces superior results. The challenge facing agency owners now is strategic adaptation—integrating AI capabilities while demonstrating their distinctive value in an evolving digital landscape.
