If you are a business owner, I know your to-do list is too damn long. 😅
You probably have something on it about increasing your rank on Google. But SEO tutorials are usually difficult to follow and even more challenging to understand. Not this checklist.

It was my first year freelancing, and I couldn't f

It was my first year freelancing, and I couldn't figure out why it was the 4th day of me falling asleep on the couch in the middle of the morning. My husband had just come down to check on me and ask if I was okay. I mumbled an alright then turned over. The truth was I was far from alright. I was mentally and physically exhausted and also depressed. I was experiencing a "holiday business slump," as I like to call it. When you run an online service-based business, sometimes, you run into a "holiday business slump" at the end of the year.
It's the end of the year, and not only are humans taking off for the holidays, but also it's the end of Q4 which means companies are at the end of their yearly budget. It happens, and it is totally normal. Since it was my first year working for myself, I didn't understand the situation and felt like a failure.
It took me until the middle of January to realize what had happened. That's when I started booking our clients. I felt a little relief, but I knew I had to plan for next year. I was going to use the following "holiday business slump" to work on things for starting my LLC and getting ahead on business administration tasks.
To my surprise, by the end of June, I realized I would be booking clients into the next year and would have enough work to fill both November and December. I felt relief wash over me. And then I thought about it and skipped booking client work over those months purposefully. Not only would I be able to give myself a little break to avoid burnout, but I could take some time to work my business without the grind of client deadlines.
When December rolled around, I knew I had made the right decision. I was spending extra time with the people I loved and enjoyed not having an endless to-do list.
Owning a business is a bit like riding a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs. The trick is to give yourself and your business enough grace to ride out the low points.
Are you experiencing a "holiday business slump?"

If this is YOU, keep reading!👇
Planning and building a website is one thing. Planning and building a website that makes sales while you sleep is an entirely different thing. 😴💸
I’ve helped small businesses for half a decade create websites that convert automatically, and every single one of them has gotten stuck in the planning the content phase. Why? 🧐 Because they want to do a good job and want potential customers to see how special their product is.
Seeing clients agonize over this step made me come up with a way to help because writing content that converts for your website should be straightforward and, dare I say, fun. 🤗
I created an Easy Website Content guide that includes proven tips and tricks I use with every one of my clients to make brainstorming content for their website EASY PEASY.
With this guide, you will learn how to...
✔️ Effortlessly write copy for your website
✔️ Choose images that create an emotional connection with your customers
✔️ Compose call to actions that convert to sales

Is Showit worth it Part 2
🥩 I’ve got some beef!
Showit claims that you can design your site “all without a single line of code.”
But I can not for the life of me get the newsletter sign-up to look good without adding code.
If I am missing something please let me know!
❤️ What I love about it!

Remember when you were in school and had to solve

Remember when you were in school and had to solve a really complicated math problem.
One that you agonized on and kept coming up with the wrong answer.
But then you work through it for the 10th time and finally get the correct answer!
You know that feeling of everything falling into place and understanding what you were missing. You level up.
That feeling is why I created the Easy Content Guide.
Lisa is a plant vendor at the Oakmont Farmers Market.
When we met, I instantly felt a connection with such a down-to-earth human.
She told me she had just started @potted_pittsburgh with hopes of quitting her full-time job and making Potted Pittsburgh her career.
A few months later, she entered a giveaway I was having for the launch of my Easy Website Content Guide.
The winner would get my new guide and one of four business coaching spots. And guess what? She won!
I was so excited to hear about why she started her business and what I could do to help her reach her goals.
Before our call, I asked her to work through the first chapter of my guide, which is about writing a mission statement and using it to find focus keywords for your website.
On her first call, she told me that working through the guide was super helpful. It helped organize and focus her business goals into a concise statement.
She leveled up her business brain.
Further, In her feedback, she said, "Katie's Easy Web Content Guide took this overwhelming task and broke it down into digestible, easy-to-follow steps with helpful prompts to inspire me to think critically."
She legitimized that feeling I was trying to provide.
Are you overwhelmed trying to set new goals for your business for 2023?
Even if you aren't working on your site, try my Easy Website Content Guide. #linkedinbio
Pssttttt, I just lowered the price.

I’ve been designing WordPress websites for 4 years. I’ve built over 50 sites, using every builder and platform available.
Showit claims that you can design your site “all without a single line of code.”
Lately all the hype around Showit has got me thinking.
Is it worth it to build your site using Showit?
Can you really build a beautiful site without any code?
In this series I will go over what I like and what I don’t like completely objectively.

When it comes to SEO strategy, AVOID THOSE TACTICS

When it comes to SEO strategy, AVOID THOSE TACTICS at all costs! 🙅‍♀️
Here’s a strategy I DO recommend!👇
✅ Use relatable keywords - Don’t overcomplicate things use words people use every day. Use these keywords in page titles, image names, headings, and calls to action.
✅ Get an SSL cert- Please add a security certificate to your site! It makes it more credible and automatically boosts your rank.
✅ Add alt text to your images - Google’s algorithm can’t see your images so this is the only way to tell it what they are.
✅ Speak to your audience - The first step in any content strategy is knowing who you are writing for. People don’t buy products or services they buy feelings. If the language is complicated and wordy, you won’t make an emotional connection with your customers.
✅ Update old content - Regularly updated content can greatly improve the SEO of a website.

Let’s get a little personal. You might not kno

Let’s get a little personal.
You might not know this about me but every Monday night, I drive to one of my favorite neighborhoods, Bellevue. There I teach restorative yoga at @joyinmovementpgh.
I took my first yoga class when I was 14. The whole time, I was fascinated by the teacher. She talked about moving the body and calming the mind in a way I’ve never heard before. Her voice was calm and warm, and being in the class offered me some respite from my constantly anxious mind.
Over a decade later, I found myself lost in a dark place. I had been working in a career I hated, and I felt unable to convince myself I was smart enough or even had enough energy to learn something else. I was trapped in a world of constant negative self-talk.
Back then I felt so pressured to find a “natural” solution to how bad I felt everyday. I felt like if I tried medication, I would be failing by placing toxic chemicals in my body. This is absolutely not the case. But that is a story for another day.
One day I decided to take a hot yoga class. Anyone who takes hot yoga knows it starts as a hate-love relationship. Your body is tight, your muscles are sore, your mind is telling yourself this is ridiculous, and you have sweat dripping in places you didn’t even know were capable of sweating. Finally, the instructor called for final rest, and I realized that for the last 90 minutes, I had not heard that little self-hating voice in my head. Yoga became a sanctuary from my anxiety.
I am so grateful that I get to introduce and spread yoga to more humans. I look forward to teaching every Monday.
If you are ever a place of self-hate, know that situations are temporary, and I believe in you with absolutely no judgment.

If you want your site to rank on Google, mobile optimization should be a top priority! 🤳
The majority of your viewers are most likely coming from a mobile device and Google knows that. Therefore, they prioritize mobile-friendly sites.
If you haven't invested in making a responsive design, it's time to do so, and here's how:
⏳ Minimize loading time - If your website is slow, visitors will quickly leave your site. Try using this free tool, PageSpeed Insights, to see what is slowing down your site and use their suggestions to fix your page speed.
🧭 Simplify navigation - Mobile phones have smaller screens than desktops do so it's important to simplify the navigation menu so that users can easily navigate your site.
📱Use a mobile-friendly theme - There are so many resources when you are building your site to make it look great on mobile. Most themes come automatically with mobile friendliness built in and if you are using a page builder like me you can make tweaks directly to mobile.

Are you looking for faster, more productive ways to check off the daunting tasks on your to-do list? ✅
I see you. I feel you. And I'm here to help you do just that!
Many times, the way we approach our work can sound like a good idea until it actually isn't. In order to stay focused on what's important, it's helpful to examine your beliefs around productivity.
Here are some beliefs to avoid if you want to boost productivity:
👉 "Breaks are unproductive"
👉 "It needs to be perfect"
👉 "Multi-tasking is the best way to get it all done"
In 2019 when I started Katydid PGH I was a mess. My days were a mess and I once had all of those beliefs.🥴 But they did more harm than good to my productivity.
I knew something had to change. So I changed my beliefs and implemented 3 very important things to boost my focus and get shit done:
1️⃣ Setting aside time for breaks
2️⃣ Letting go of perfectionism
3️⃣ Block Scheduling
👉 Learn my tips and tricks during my free webinar.
