Hiya Reader,

IT’S BUILDING MOMENTUM TIME πŸ’ƒ

Ready to address the monster in the room????

Today, we’re 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:

✨ A good-lookin' website
✨ Helpful as fuck services & products
✨ Great content already floating around the web

…but if your business isn’t showing up in the places PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SEARCHING, you’re leaving visibility (and money) on the table.

And THAT is where this week’s focus comes in...

How searchable is your business, really?

Quick 2-Minute Visibility Check πŸ‘€

Go to Google and type:
​site:yourdomain.com

(example: site:mariahmagazine.com)

If you see pages from your website show up? βœ… You’re indexed. Google knows your site exists.

If nothing pops up? ❌ That’s 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 1–2 keywords or phrases that describe what you do or what you sell.

πŸ“Œ IMPORTANT NOTE: Use incognito mode for this so your results aren’t 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:

➑️ Does your site show up in the first few pages?
➑️ 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!)

Wanna Go Deeper?

Over the weekend, I created something new, and free, and I think you're gonna LOVE it.

Introducing my newest freebie lead magnet...

​SEO Assessment & Scorecard: How Searchable Is Your Business?

It’s a self-guided scorecard that helps you evaluate how well your website and brand are showing up across Google and AI tools (like ChatGPT).

Using the Assessment & Scorecard, you'll:

βœ… Score your current visibility out of 10 with the self-guided SEO Scorecard
βœ… Learn how to start tracking SEO data that’ll help you stop guessing & start getting answers
βœ… Uncover how findable your website really is (to both search engines and AI tools)
​
βœ… Pinpoint the SEO gaps that are making it harder for your IDEAL clients/customers to find you online
βœ… Discover low-effort tweaks that'll actually move the needle

Why is this free?????

Because I have some offers, products, and options that are a GREAT next step from this (And it was FUN TO MAKE. More about that below tho!)

But right now, ya gotta see where your website stands.

​BTS Decisions: A new lead magnet & freebie

I'm gonna be honest...

My free SEO roadmap has not been *exciting* to promote in like 2 years LOL

It's not because I don't think it's helpful. I do. And I've gotten great feedback on it.

But it just doesn't feel FOCUSED enough. It doesn't feel EVOLVED enough for what I wanna talk about.

So, I got clear on what WILL feel exciting to promote. Which is why the SEO Assessment & Scorecard is a new thing.

I'm like GIDDY when I think about it lmao because I really do think it's not only actionable as fuck, but PRACTICAL too.

And now that I'm EXCITED about it, I'm finding a TON of different ways that I can share it.

And that right there, is a HUGE difference when it comes to building visibility momentum.

Here's your sign to look at your freebies & lead magnets. Are you SO DAMN EXCITED ABOUT ONE OF THEM that you NEED to share it with the world?

Yes? SHARE IT MORE.

No? It's time for a new one.

My NEW website is LAUANCHEDDDDD

I know people usually make a bigger deal out of this with a whole ass launch plan & giveaway & sale on products & yadda yadda.

But right now? That feels like A LOT. Especially after the launch of Search Club & before Black Friday.

BUT I DO STILL WANNA CELEBRATE IT BC I LOVE IT SO MUCH ❀️‍πŸ”₯

I had the lovely help from my girl Emilia & her team, from Launch it Co.

We tied in my new branding photos from Avalon Mohns, my new brand colors from Cedar June Branding, with a new customized WordPress & logo template from Launch it.

(All of their links are in Site Credits section of my website footer!)

I haven't updated my copy too much, that's gonna come next (yes I did design before updated copy. Don't come for me lmao baby steps!)

BUT THE VISUALS JUST FEEL SO "ME" NOW, and that feels really fun because my website, just like my SEO roadmap freebie was just feel MEH.
