just described the #1 marketing mistake she sees in almost every business.

It's not a bad tactic. It's skipping the "why" before running one.

Here's what she means:

Businesses throw budget into campaigns — LinkedIn ads, for example — without first nailing down:

→ Who the audience actually is
→ Whether the messaging matches how that audience actually talks (market-language fit)

The result? Wasted spend and drained resources on a campaign that was never going to land.

The second mistake she flagged: trying to do too many things at once. Too many spinning plates, not enough clarity.

Her advice is simple but most businesses skip it anyway:

Get clear on strategy and what you're actually trying to achieve — before you touch a single tactic. Do fewer things, but do them well.

Budget doesn't fix a strategy problem. Clarity does.

Curious — how many of you have seen a campaign fail not because of ex*****on, but because the targeting or messaging was off from the start?

Changing your hero section alone can lift conversions by up to 55%. Most businesses never touch it.

Your hero section has one job: help visitors rapidly understand what you offer, who it's for, and what they should do next. Get that wrong, and nothing else on the page matters — because most visitors won't scroll far enough to find out.

Here's what actually makes a hero section convert:

1️⃣ Answer the visitor's real questions first — not your company's. Before writing a word, ask: does this apply to me, and what should I do next?

2️⃣ Make the headline clear, not clever — a good headline explains your offer without needing extra explanation.

3️⃣ Use the subheadline to add context, not repeat the headline — it should explain, not echo.

4️⃣ Give your CTA a clear purpose — swap vague buttons like "Learn More" for specific actions like "Book a Strategy Call" or "Get a Free Audit."

That 25-55% conversion lift isn't a one-off — it's a documented pattern from real hero-section tests. This is one of the highest-leverage sections on your entire site, and most businesses spend the least amount of time on it.

We wrote a full breakdown covering headline structure, CTA psychology, and a hero-section editing checklist you can run before publishing.

Content on a broken website doesn't grow your business — it just adds traffic to a leaky bucket.

That's the core idea Ryan Robinson (content marketing expert) shared on our podcast, The Website Growth Show, when Rana asked him how businesses — coaches, consultants, accountants, doctors — should approach blogging and SEO from day one, with AI in the mix.

His advice, broken down:

1️⃣ Talk to your existing customers first. Find out where they actually look for help — LinkedIn, Facebook groups, Reddit, Google. Don't guess. Ask.

2️⃣ Get your website foundation right before you touch content. A site that doesn't represent you well or convert visitors into leads will waste every piece of content you create on top of it.

3️⃣ Only then, start creating content — once your home base is solid and you know exactly where your audience spends their time.

Most businesses do this backwards. They chase content and traffic before fixing the thing that's supposed to convert that traffic into customers.

53% of mobile visitors abandon a website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load.

(Yes, that's a real Google study.)

That means over half your potential customers could be gone before your homepage even finishes loading.

Here's a mistake we see constantly on WordPress and WooCommerce sites: unoptimized images.

A single product page can load 15-20 images at full resolution, adding several MBs of unnecessary weight. Visitors bounce, Google penalizes the slow load, and sales quietly disappear.

The fix is simple:
→ Compress images before upload (ShortPixel, Imagify)
→ Switch to next-gen formats like WebP instead of PNG/JPEG
→ Enable lazy loading so only visible images load first
→ Use a caching plugin to cut server load on repeat visits

Most sites can cut load time by 40-60% with just this one change — no redesign, no rebuild, no big budget.

Not sure how fast your site actually is? Run it through Google PageSpeed Insights. Under 70? This is probably part of the problem.

Nick Eubanks (VP, Semrush) just gave away a content strategy most brands are sitting on for free.

Most established websites and publishers have this same problem:

They keep publishing more content instead of fixing what they already have.

Here's what he recommends instead:

→ Audit everything. Anything with zero organic clicks in 90-180 days? Kill it.
→ What's still getting traffic? Update it. Often.
→ Add 20-30% more internal links than you currently have.

Then the bigger shift: if you're publishing 10 pieces a month, cut it to 1-2 deeper, thought-leadership pieces — and repurpose that content across other channels instead.

On AI and search, his take was refreshingly direct: "GEO" and "AEO" aren't a different discipline — they're supplemental to SEO, not a replacement for it. But enterprises are now budgeting for it separately, so how you package your services has to shift with how brands are buying.

And on link building in the age of AI search? His answer: it's never mattered more.

Most sites Nick talks to have never audited their existing content library. That's not a small gap — it's a genuine growth lever sitting untouched.

Full episode is linked in the comments — Nick goes deep on this and more. 🎧

Question for the people who manage content at scale: when's the last time you actually audited what's already live, instead of just adding to it?

"How do you make your money?"

Sounds like a basic question. Almost nobody asks it. 💭

Emina Demiri Watson reveals the ONE question most marketers skip before building a strategy — and it's costing them results.

Here's why it matters 👇

Most agencies jump straight to "here's what you need to do." Emina does the opposite. Before any strategy gets built, she digs into:

💰 How does the business actually make money?
👥 Who's the audience, really?
🏷️ What's the price point?
📈 How does the sales process work?

Here's the mindset shift: marketing and sales aren't separate. If you don't understand the pipeline and time-to-convert, you're building a strategy blind. 🚫

Discovery isn't a formality. It's the foundation.

You don’t always need a better productivity system.

**Sometimes, you just need to start.**

On the latest episode of *The Website Growth Show*, Lindsay Carlson shared a simple idea that really stuck with me:

👉 **Make the first step ridiculously small.**

Instead of thinking:

❌ “I need to finish this entire project.”

Try:

✅ Open the document.
✅ Write one sentence.
✅ Spend five minutes on it.
✅ Build from there.

Because the hardest part is often **starting**.

Once you create a little momentum, the next step feels much easier.

And this applies to business too.

You don't need to have everything figured out before taking action.

You don't need the perfect strategy.

You don't need the perfect system.

**Start small. Build momentum. Improve as you go.**

That first step might be the most important one.
