Remove “Someday” From Your Repurposing Plan (EP113) 08.07.2026

I’ve got a stack of courses, checklists, and AI tools that promise to solve my content repurposing problem. I still don’t use them consistently.

Enjoy the episode! 🗓️ ⁠Webinar for Flexible Repurposing System⁠ 🧰 I love me a goo...

What Counts as Repurposing (EP112) 01.07.2026

I used to think repurposing content meant posting the same thing across every platform and calling it a strategy. Or even, dumping one piece of content into a scheduling tool and letting it spit out ten more. In this episode I’m walking through what repurposing content means, because I don’t think it’s as simple as some makes it sound. This is part one of a four part series, so if you’re doing all...

Refreshing Blog Posts Over A Year Old Is A Super Simple Tactic To Increase Website Traffic (EP111) 24.06.2026

Okay, so most of us treat a blog post like we've painted a room. Painted, done, nothing left to do. But that's not really how it works. We need to treat them like plants and water them to keep them alive. Some of your older posts might be losing their "green", and I want to walk you through why that happens and what to do about it. I'll share a real example from one of my cli...

How to Get People Talking About Your Website (EP109) 10.06.2026

In this episode I'm walking you through earned traffic, which is basically when other people do the talking for you. Think podcast interviews, Reddit mentions, PR, guest posts, people linking to your site because they actually want to. It's the slowest of the three traffic methods we've covered in this series, but it's also the most durable and long lasting. Enjoy the episode! 00:0...

Start Here Before You Run Your Next Paid Ad (EP108) 03.06.2026

So this is the paid advertising episode. It's part three in my series on the three methods of getting more website traffic and honestly it's the one I get the most questions about because people are either scared to try it or they've tried it and it didn't go the way they expected. I cover several paid channels including Google, Meta, display, newsletter, and podcast advertising. I...

Organic Traffic Is Bigger Than Google (EP107) 27.05.2026

So you know how everyone talks about organic traffic like it's just SEO? It's actually way more than that.

I also tie in those five questions from last week so you can start connecting the dots on your stra...

My Go-To Prompt for Updating Blog Posts (EP104) 29.04.2026

I am sharing a prompt I use when I'm looking at a blog post that should be getting more traffic than it is. Instead of writing something new, I walk you through how to use AI to evaluate what you already have, what variables you need to fill in to get useful recommendations, and where the prompt has limits so you're not expecting it to do something it can't. If you've got a post si...

The Difference Between Being Found on Google and Being Cited by AI (EP103) 23.04.2026

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about AI search and whether it changes everything we know about SEO. So in this episode I’m breaking down something I think is worth understanding: the difference between being found on Google and being cited by AI. They’re not the same experience, and they don’t work exactly the same way. I walk through how Google finds and ranks your website, how AI se...

🗺️ The MAP Framework for AI Search Visibility (EP101) 02.04.2026

Tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity are changing how people find businesses. But — and this is the part most people are getting confused about — your website still matters. A lot. AI doesn't rank pages the way Google does, but it still scans your content, reads your pages, and pulls from what you've got on it. So if your service pages are thin, your About page is vague, or your Google Busine...

4 Ways I’m Using NotebookLM in My Business (EP100) 25.03.2026

I am fascinated at how NotebookLM is taking a lot of anguish out of my day. I wanted to get more clarity about some client calls and better understand how they come in to my world, and how they leave.

When Your Best Ranking Keyword Is Your Worst Lead (EP99) 18.03.2026

I sat down with a talented brand designer whose business had evolved, but her search rankings were still stuck years in the past. We dug into her data and realized she was accidentally attracting beginners instead of her new ideal, established clients simply because Google loved an old post she wrote back in 2017. It was such a powerful "under the hood" moment to see that even with a new...

Confessions of an Entrepreneur: Uncomplicating Content Creation (Bonus EP65) 05.03.2026

If you’re anything like me, getting in front of the camera can feel incredibly awkward, and the thought of needing a massive production crew just to post on social media is completely a big fat no. But with AI increasingly blurring the lines of what is real online, showing up as ourselves has never been more important for building trust. In this episode, I chat with McKenzi Taylor, founder of Tayl...

Your Content Needs to Match What People Search (EP97) 25.02.2026

Is Your Website a Lead Machine or a Digital Brochure? (EP96) 18.02.2026

Google doesn't care how pretty your website is. A gorgeous design with a searchability score of zero is nothing more than an expensive digital brochure sitting in a dark corner of the internet where nobody can find it. If that makes you gasp, you'll enjoy this episode. 👉 For all the links and resources mentioned in this episode, check out the supporting blog post here . Stop second-guessi...

The Part of Marketing That Makes People Panic (EP94) 28.01.2026

the Calendar Vacation Experiment [for anyone who feels guilty resting] (EP93) 23.01.2026
