Beautiful. So a today was a great group coaching call, which was nice and intimate today. And I felt like we did get around to everyone and address key topics, which were really websites and talking some lead magnets as well. Let’s just do one to three top tips. And I’d love to start with you Emily. What would be from what we talked about today, and what we were asked from our fantastic small business owners, your top tips, hot tips in order for them to go away and do those small, tangible actions. Yeah, perfect.

A big focus of today’s session was websites, we all kind of started pulling up each other’s website started going through. And the biggest thing that I would recommend is have a look at your website from your customer’s point of view. And consider the journey that they would take to either learn about your business, learn about what you have to offer, and make it a seamless, you know, journey for them to understand. So we were going through some examples. And you know, before a customer takes any any type of make a decision, they click the book now the Buy Now button, they kind of need to have more information to make that decision, they need to learn about you and your business, what you have on offer, the range of different products, services experiences that you have, you know, some social proof all of these fundamentals on your website homepage, and then a call to action at the bottom that you know gets them in, whether it’s an opt in, opt in lead magnet or you know anything of that sort or whether it is you know, taking the next steps that could either be a book now button, or a free consultation like some of the lovely ladies have on their webs site here. So I guess it’s just figuring out who your customers are. And ask yourself What questions do they want answered? What? What thoughts and questions that they’re going to have running through their head when they start looking at my website and provide that for them and make the transition and you know, journey of learning about your business as easy as possible. So it leads from what is this to? I need this? So yeah, there’s a lot of great tips and website checklists in our website course set, I’m sure each and every one of these ladies are going to do first thing when they leave this call. But that’s probably what I would say, a big part of today’s session we went through.

Amazing. Thank you, M. And Claire, what would be your hot tips from today? I know you really spoke on, you know, that website being that number one digital asset to really nurture that, but also the golden nugget of lead magnets as well.
Claire McCollum 2:54
Yeah, absolutely. So yeah, just in referring to Valentina’s journey right at the beginning of creating a website and trying to understand where to start and how to do it. So just the understanding that our website is our number one place that we’re in control of and the number one place that we own as well. So it is our number one place where it is the most professional, and then everything else stems from their social media, Google business profile, etc. review platforms etc. So we really want to make sure that when we invest time or money into a website, it’s done really well from that user perspective, which Em has touched on, and also from an SEO perspective as well which is equally as support important. Having that really good SEO perspective to or making sure that that’s addressed within the creation and the maintenance of our website. Secondly, we really want to make sure we’ve got our basics in place which covers both SEO and user journeys. So for example, clickable phone number to our products, etc. So that we’re able to be found in that whole wide world of search. Yeah, once again, recommend our website course that can really help with those basics and the checklists and examples and understanding why. Why some things can be really helpful for both SEO and our user journey and also the digital engagement health checks. So if you have had one of those before, I strongly recommend to go and revisit it and then just seeing how that links to the course for particular things you may have in place or not have in place and then you can go the course to understand more about it, etc. And then lead magnets so yeah, lead magnets. Once you’ve got all your basics and your foundations in place, a lead magnet is a really great way to capture as Emily mentioned the 95% of people that will come to your website, and then leave again because they’re not yet ready to purchase or or book or buy from you yet. So that lead magnet is a way to capture those people to keep them interested just like in the past, you give a business card or you take a little flyer or brochure, it is a way of exchange where you can give some one information that is a free and very helpful for them. In exchange, you get their email address, and then they get funneled into an email sequence, which is all about what it is that we’re we have given them. And then we try then to get them on our regular subscribers list. So we’re just pulling them in in a really nice way. And once that set up, it works for us in the background. So yeah, definitely recommend looking into a lead magnet one place to start would be just to have an idea about what is it that your business or your knowledge, what do you know that you know, is a very benefit to your target market? Or to the people that come and visit you? What is it they want to know? And how can we try and create that information into a really nice digestible piece of whether it’s a a PDF, or a nice little guide or something that will be as helpful to our potential customers.
