83. Is Your Website Making It Stupidly Easy to Hire You? Lessons From My Recent Business Audit

A few months ago, I looked at my own website through a first-time visitor’s eyes and got a rude awakening: it looked gorgeous but the path to hiring me was a total maze. In this Season 5 premiere, I share how that moment turned into a full business audit and the tough calls that came out of it, including retiring an offer I loved. If your business has grown by adding more offers, more pages, and more content but clients still get on calls unsure of what you actually do, this episode is for you. I show you how I simplified everything into two clear “choose your own adventure” pathways, why your time and energy are real costs and the one small step you can take this week without auditing your whole business. In this episode, you’ll hear: The #1 job of your website (hint: make it stupidly easy for someone to hire you) Why a confusing website isn’t harmless and how it can hurt your business Why a messy website is usually a sign of deeper foundational issues How I started a daunting audit by listing out every single piece of my business The questions to ask when auditing your offers: messaging, price, time, expenses, and energy Why “it’s just my time” is a myth and how to factor your time into pricing The hard decision to retire my starter package and how I kept my value of accessibility alive anyway How I split my offers into two clear pathways: Busy Bees and Queen Bees The SEO cleanup that surfaced outdated offers, broken links, and missing alt tags Why I paused video for Season 5 and the difference between a “nice to have” and a “need to have” Your action step: pick ONE offer and audit it for clarity, time, cost, and energy.
