    4 things to remove from your website right now (and 1 to add)

    In this episode, I delve into practical strategies to optimize your website for attracting the right-fit clients. We emphasize the importance of viewing your website as a strategic journey, simplifying the user experience, and providing quick solutions to your clients' needs. We discuss four crucial elements to remove from your website: unnecessary equipment images, standalone pricing pages, complex dropdowns in the About section, and separate FAQ pages. Instead, I suggest integrating this information where it makes the most sense, such as services and contact pages. Additionally, I stress the significance of prominently displaying your location to help potential clients easily find you, even if your business is primarily online. By implementing these changes, you can create a website that efficiently guides visitors toward booking your services.

Replacing standalone pricing pages with comprehensive service pages. The significance of prominently displaying your location for online and local businesses. Simplifying the About section by consolidating information onto a single page. Creating individual provider pages for team-based businesses.
