SEO is amazing for getting you found when people don’t know who you are. But let’s be real – as local business owners, what we really want is to be the first name that pops into people’s minds when they need what we offer. That’s where the magic happens.

Enter Luke Wolf – a mortgage lender who’s taken a totally different approach to becoming unforgettable. Luke created The Social Minute, an online community that’s all about connecting local professionals, sharing insights, and building relationships that last.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to show up, get in the room, and build a network that supports your business. We’ll cover the do’s and don’ts of networking, what Luke and I have learned along the way, and some great tips if you’re more of an introvert (I see you!).

Plus, you’ve got to check out The Social Minute – it’s a genius way for business owners to connect, collaborate, and find their next great referral partner. Remember, your network is your net worth!

Let's cut to the chase – who are you really talking to? You don't want everyone, and that's where SEO becomes your best ally in attracting exactly the right people.

People crave feeling special and unique, part of something bigger. When you're crystal clear about who you serve and call out those distinctive qualities, you’ll have the perfect clients walking through your door.

And this isn't just about messaging – it absolutely needs to ripple over into your SEO strategy.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing two real-life stories from this past week – one from my experience and one from a client – that show how powerful this approach can be.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to fine-tune who you're talking to, with easy, actionable tips you can implement right away. You won’t believe how simple it can be!

Ready to be the ONLY option in town? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today. And we’re literally talking about your store front!

In this episode, we’re getting down to business—brick-and-mortar style. This was inspired by a recent strategy session with a super-smart business owner who’s considering investing in a store front. But before jumping in, they wanted to make sure they were asking all the right questions. Smart, right?

Now, while we can’t predict the future, we can set ourselves up for success. That’s why I’m sharing 10 must-ask questions to consider before investing in your first, second, or even third brick-and-mortar location. Whether you're in the process of renting a space or just dreaming about it, you’ll want to tune in!

And because this is a conversation, I’d love for YOU—especially those who’ve been down this road—to share your tips or any concerns I may have missed. We're in this together, and this community is all about helping each other rise!

Today, we're diving into another awesome listener question: How long does it take to see SEO results, and how do we know it’s working? Spoiler alert—SEO isn't an overnight fix, but how long should it really take? And more importantly, where can you find the proof?

In this episode, we’ll cover three key spots to check on your SEO progress: where to look (Your GBP, Google Analytics, and Your Website platform) how often to look (monthly), and what exactly to watch for (growth!)

Plus, we’ll touch on the bigger picture: does your opt-in make people want to take action? Because great SEO means nothing without smart marketing to back it up. Listen in as I dive into the stats of tracking your SEO input so you get more clients walking in your doors.
