Hiya Reader,
ITβS BUILDING MOMENTUM TIME π
Ready to address the monster in the room????
Today, weβre talking about seeing HOW SEARCHABLE your business actually is.
Right now.
Today.
Because in order to keep growing your SEO momentum, ya gotta see where you're STARTING at.
You might have:
β¨ A good-lookin' website
β¨ Helpful as fuck services & products
β¨ Great content already floating around the web
β¦but if your business isnβt showing up in the places PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SEARCHING, youβre leaving visibility (and money) on the table.
And THAT is where this weekβs focus comes in...
How searchable is your business, really?
Quick 2-Minute Visibility Check π
Go to Google and type:
βsite:yourdomain.com
(example: site:mariahmagazine.com)
If you see pages from your website show up? β
Youβre indexed. Google knows your site exists.
If nothing pops up? β Thatβs a problem ya gotta fix before anything else can work. (In order to fix this, you'll likely need to contact your website designer/developer, and or customer service for your website platform. Sometimes it's an easy fix, like turning on or off a setting. Other times it can be quite technical).
Bonus step:
Do a quick Google search for 1β2 keywords or phrases that describe what you do or what you sell.
π IMPORTANT NOTE: Use incognito mode for this so your results arenβt skewed by past searches. (Just note, when you look things up this way, Google will still show results based on your location)
For example:
- wedding photographer [your city]
- copywriter for coaches
- business mentor for creatives
- bookkeeper for small business
- gold coffee bean necklace
Ask yourself:
β‘οΈ Does your site show up in the first few pages?
β‘οΈ If not, who is showing up? Competitors? Directories? Big-name brands?
That quick peek gives you a snapshot of where your Google visibility stands right now, AND what Google sees as the *best solution* to the keyword you typed in.
(This isn't the *most* ideal way to check in on rankings, but it's quick and helpful as fuck without diving into complex tools!)
