    E53: How Long SEO Really Takes and Why Most Business Owners Get It Wrong (Part 1)

    How long should SEO take for a local business?  That is one of the most common and most misunderstood questions in marketing. In this episode, I break down why SEO technically starts working right away, but why visible results depend on your competition, your market, and the foundation you are starting from. I’ll walk through why competitors with ugly websites often still rank higher, why SEO is more important than ever with AI search tools like ChatGPT, and what actually drives rankings today. If you want realistic expectations, a real strategy, and a clear path to dominating local search, this episode delivers exactly that. 📒 Show Notes and Resources 📒 https://www.seangarner.co/podcast/  =========================== P.S.  When you are ready, here are a few ways I can help… Get Your FREE Marketing Domination Checklist: https://www.seangarner.co/  FREE Marketing Assessment | Discover what's wrong with your marketing & get a FREE customized plan to fix it: https://www.seangarner.co/marketingreport  Schedule A Call to Build, Fill and Optimize Your Sales Funnel For More Leads: https://www.seangarner.co/  =========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Podcast HERE:📱  ➡︎YT: https://www.youtube.com/seangarner  ➡︎Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-domination  ➡︎Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marketingdomination =========================== Sean Garner Sean Garner is a marketing consultant and Certified StoryBrand guide dedicated to helping small business owners grow and dominate their industries.

    E51: Why Your Website Isn’t Converting and How to Fix It Without Starting Over (Part 1)

    I see this all the time. Business owners are getting traffic to their website, but no one is calling, booking, or filling out forms.  They assume the problem is more ads, more SEO, or more content, when in reality, the problem is usually their website structure, messaging, and lack of a clear conversion strategy. In this episode, I break down the most common website mistakes local service businesses make, including unclear calls to action, no lead capture system, confusing copy, and poor page structure. I explain when you actually need a new website versus when you just need better messaging, what pages are essential for ranking, and why you should never choose between SEO and conversions. You need both. If your website looks decent but isn’t making you money, this episode will show you exactly what’s missing and how to fix it. 📒 Show Notes and Resources 📒 https://www.seangarner.co/podcast/  =========================== P.S.  When you are ready, here are a few ways I can help… Get Your FREE Marketing Domination Checklist: https://www.seangarner.co/  FREE Marketing Assessment | Discover what's wrong with your marketing & get a FREE customized plan to fix it: https://www.seangarner.co/marketingreport  Schedule A Call to Build, Fill and Optimize Your Sales Funnel For More Leads: https://www.seangarner.co/  =========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Podcast HERE:📱  ➡︎YT: https://www.youtube.com/seangarner  ➡︎Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-domination  ➡︎Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marketingdomination =========================== Sean Garner Sean Garner is a marketing consultant and Certified StoryBrand guide dedicated to helping small business owners grow and dominate their industries.

    E49: How to Optimize Your Sales Funnel Without Guessing or Burning Cash

    If your marketing feels inconsistent, it is probably not because you need more leads. It is because you are not optimizing what you already have. Most business owners build a funnel, throw traffic at it, and hope for the best. That is not a strategy. That is gambling. In this episode, I walk through step three of the Marketing Domination framework and show you how I actually optimize sales funnels for real businesses. We cover the exact data you should be tracking, what automations stop leads from slipping through the cracks, and how to use AI without turning your marketing into a mess.  Optimization is not a one-time task. It is how businesses grow, scale, and dominate their local market long term. 📒 Show Notes and Resources 📒 https://www.seangarner.co/podcast/  =========================== P.S.  When you are ready, here are a few ways I can help… Get Your FREE Marketing Domination Checklist: https://www.seangarner.co/  FREE Marketing Assessment | Discover what's wrong with your marketing & get a FREE customized plan to fix it: https://www.seangarner.co/marketingreport  Schedule A Call to Build, Fill and Optimize Your Sales Funnel For More Leads: https://www.seangarner.co/  =========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Podcast HERE:📱  ➡︎YT: https://www.youtube.com/seangarner  ➡︎Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-domination  ➡︎Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marketingdomination =========================== Sean Garner Sean Garner is a marketing consultant and Certified StoryBrand guide dedicated to helping small business owners grow and dominate their industries.
