    5 Things I Fix on 90% of Client Websites (That Are Quietly Costing You Leads)

    Your website looks fine. The branding’s cute. The copy isn’t terrible. But leads? Crickets. In this episode, I’m breaking down the five things I fix on almost every client website, the stuff that’s not obvious on the surface, but absolutely killing your ability to grow.

    Want to Convert More Visitors? Tap Into the Psychology of Decision-Making

    Ever wondered why some visitors click buy now and others bounce off your site without a second thought? In this episode, let's dive into the psychology behind those conversions and how understanding what's going on in your visitors' minds can totally transform your website. With over a decade of experience in marketing, I've learned that getting a "yes" from your visitors isn't just about the product - it's about how they feel when they land on your site. If you've ever struggled with figuring out how to turn visitors into customers, this episode is for you. I'll walk you through the emotional triggers that make or break your conversion rates and show you how small tweaks to your website can help guide your visitors from I'm interested to I'm ready to buy. We'll cover: The psychology of first impressions and why they're make-or-break for your website. How emotional triggers can drive conversions (and no, we're not talking about shady marketing tactics). Why simplicity and clarity can increase conversions and build trust. How reducing friction on your site leads to better decision-making (and more sales). Data-driven decisions that keep your website working smarter, not harder. So let's talk about how you can use psychology to turn your website into a conversion machine, without all the gimmicks. ☕ ⁠⁠Book your Marketing Cafecito (1:1 Strategy Session)⁠⁠ All content is for informational purposes only.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Read the full disclaimer here.

    Practicing Marketing in a Space Obsessed with Shortcuts

    Ever felt like the way you do things doesn’t quite fit into the marketing world? You’re not alone. In this episode, I dive into the struggle of navigating a space that often feels loud, performative and geared toward quick wins. With over a decade of experience in marketing, I’ll share my journey of realizing that success doesn’t always have to be flashy or viral and that’s okay. If you’ve ever felt like you had something valuable to offer but didn’t quite see how it fit into the "perfect" social media mold, this one’s for you. I share how, for years, I tried to fit into a mold that didn’t align with who I truly am and how learning to embrace my unique approach changed everything. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re "too quiet" or "too slow" in a fast-paced, performance-driven industry,  I get it. We’ll cover: Why the "perfect" feed and hustle culture isn’t the secret to real successHow to lean into your own way of working without falling into the trap of comparisonHow building with intention leads to stronger, sustainable growthThe importance of trusting your own voice and values in a noisy worldWhy being quiet and strategic is just as valuable as loud, quick successWhy it’s okay (and necessary) to build from your own experiences and valuesSo grab your cafecito, settle in and let’s chat about how you can stop second-guessing your approach and start showing up authentically. ☕ ⁠Book your Marketing Cafecito (1:1 Strategy Session)⁠ All content is for informational purposes only.⁠⁠⁠ Read the full disclaimer here.

    Why User Experience is the Secret Sauce for Website Success

    Your website might be pretty, but is it easy to use? Because listen, I’ve been that person, ready to buy, card in hand, fully hyped... and then the site glitches, the checkout doesn’t work, and suddenly? I’m out. The sale is gone. And it didn’t have to be that way. In this episode of So, It Depends, we’re talking about the secret sauce behind websites that actually convert: UX (aka User Experience). It’s not just a design trend, it’s the difference between a site that frustrates people and one that makes them say, "take my money." If you’ve ever wondered why your website isn’t working how you hoped or just want it to feel easier for people to navigate, scroll, and buy, this one’s for you. We’ll cover: What UX means (and how to spot bad UX instantly) The tiny things pushing people away from your site (without you realizing) 5 small-but-powerful tweaks that can instantly improve your UX A quick challenge to help you audit your site today Because at the end of the day, a beautiful website is cute… but a functional, money-making, user-friendly one? Even cuter. So grab your cafecito, pull up your site on your phone, and let’s get into it. ☕ Book your Marketing Cafecito (1:1 Strategy Session) All content is for informational purposes only.⁠⁠ Read the full disclaimer here.
