Why you’re not selling as much as you should online.

Why you're not selling as much as you should online.

In this duo podcast/YouTube episode, I break down some of the psychology related stuff behind selling things online.

In short, a lot of the troubles that businesses face comes from messaging that is out of line with what they should be saying.

Here’s a quick break down…

1. The messaging we put out often persuades our potential customers before they even come to us.

I see this mistake a lot with local businesses. They think it’s a selling point to be the “cheapest” option around. That is all well and good until it comes time to pay your bills and have no profit left over.

2. You can charge more while competing with the big companies.

The only advantage a lot of the big companies have is that they are cheaper. If you sell something that means something to someone, you can make your potential customer have that “they get me feeling” which means you can charge a fair price for everyone.

In the end, people are going to perceive you by what you put out to your market. If you say you’re “cheap”… no one is going to expect to pay much.

But, if you shift that message to be “I’m valuable…” it changes the game forever.

If you found this valuable, please share with someone who could use it!

What is SEO, and why do I need it?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of improving your website so it ranks higher in search engine results, making it easier for potential customers to find your business online. Without SEO, even the best-designed website can be virtually invisible to your ideal audience.

SEO is a long-term investment. While some improvements can be seen within the first 30 to 60 days, most significant results typically appear between 3 to 6 months—depending on the competitiveness of your industry and the current state of your website.

We offer flexible pricing based on the scope of your project, but our typical monthly SEO retainers start at $3,500. For businesses looking for deeper engagement and faster results, premium packages and consulting are available. Every quote is customized to your business goals and market.

Our comprehensive SEO services typically include:

In-depth SEO audits
Keyword research & strategy
On-page optimization
Technical SEO fixes
Content optimization & creation
Backlink acquisition

Monthly performance reports and strategy calls

We also offer Reputation Management and Conversion Rate Optimization as add-on services.
