    79 \\ My Quick Top 5 Tips to help with Local SEO as a Small Business Owner

    If you’re a small business owner and someone could search what you do + your city… but you’re not showing up, this episode is for you. In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m breaking down five quick local SEO wins that actually move the needle. Not theory. Not trends. The same strategies I use with real clients to help service-based businesses show up in Google when it matters most. We’re talking Google Business Profiles, location keywords, reviews, technical setup, and the biggest mistakes I see small businesses making that keep them invisible online. If you’re tired of chasing algorithms, posting nonstop on social media, and wondering why your website isn’t doing its job, this episode will give you clarity and a clear next step. Local SEO doesn’t have to be complicated.

    78 \\ Using Tailwind’s New Keyword Research Tool & The Importance of Keywords for Pinterest

    Pinterest is a search engine. So if you’re not using keywords for Pinterest strategically, your pins can look amazing… and still go nowhere. In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m focusing on Tailwind’s new keyword research tool (beta) and how it helps you find the keywords people are actually searching on Pinterest — without spinning your wheels. This is NOT a step-by-step tutorial (I cover that visually in the blog + YouTube). Instead, I’m giving you the strategy behind the tool so you know what to look for, what matters, and how to choose keywords that can drive real traffic. Inside this episode, I cover: What Tailwind’s keyword tool shows you (demand, related suggestions, and “resonance”) How to tell the difference between keywords that help vs. keywords that waste your time Why diversifying keywords across your pins matters (especially if you batch content) The keyword mistakes that quietly tank reach (vague boards, trend-chasing, mismatched links) When Tailwind helps most — and when I still start with Google Search Console first If Pinterest feels like you’re posting without knowing why, this episode is your clarity moment. Grab your coffee - and let’s make your Pinterest strategy way more intentional.

    77 \\ How Web Design Affects SEO (And The Red Flags That Hurt Your Traffic In 2026)

    In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m getting honest about how web design affects SEO—and the quiet red flags I keep seeing that are hurting traffic after website redesigns. I’m sharing real examples from behind the scenes where beautiful, high-end websites launched… and then lost rankings, visibility, and inquiries. Not because the business did anything wrong, but because SEO was treated like a checkbox instead of a strategy. We’re talking about what “SEO ready” actually means, why structure matters more than aesthetics, how design decisions impact search visibility, and the questions you have to ask before signing a web design contract. This isn’t about blaming designers or second-guessing past decisions. It’s about giving you clarity, so you can protect your website, your traffic, and the work you’ve already built. If you’ve ever wondered why a new website made things worse—or you’re planning a redesign and want to do it right—this episode is for you.

    76 \\ Not a Reinvention - a Refinement: Welcome to Coffee & Conversions a Podcast focused on SEO, Web Design, and Organic Marketing Strategies

    Coffee & Conversions is officially here—and this episode explains why. For over two years, this show lived under the name Being Better Everyday. And while that name fit a season of growth, curiosity, and learning, it started to feel heavy. Like pressure. Like one more standard to meet in a world already obsessed with optimization. So I’m closing that chapter. In this launch episode, I share the real story behind the rebrand—what changed in my life, my business, and my relationship with “self-improvement,” and why Coffee & Conversions feels aligned with how I actually live and work now. We talk about: Why constant “being better” started to feel like pressure instead of progress How hustle culture, productivity talk, and body optimization made the name feel not as intended  Why conversions matter—and why SEO, web design, and strategy can’t live in silos What this podcast will continue to be about (and what it won’t) This isn’t a reinvention. It’s a refinement. If you want honest, understandable strategy around SEO, web design, Pinterest, and organic growth—without tech bro jargon or hustle culture—you’re already in the right place. Welcome to Coffee & Conversions. I’m really glad you’re here.
