If you're an established business owner, coach, service provider, or digital product creator ready to get your business running smarter, you're in the right place. Each week, I share practical strategies on business systems, website strategy, simplified marketing, and the decisions that grow your business. No fluff, no hype, just the stuff that gets real results.


You've got happy customers and a solid business. What you probably don't have? A website that's working as hard as you are. Or systems that let you grow without burning out. That's what we dig into here.

  • 189. Are Your Most-Visited Website Pages Doing Their Job?
    May 19 2026

    I know how tempting it is to focus all our energy on homepage tweaks or endless marketing, but your hidden high-traffic pages might be quietly missing the mark. This week, I’m sharing the exact process I use to uncover your real top pages, evaluate whether they’re doing their job, and make simple changes that get bigger results. You’ll hear why every page needs one clear job, whether that’s to explain, build trust, or drive action.

    By the end of the episode, you’ll know exactly how to check your Google Analytics, identify your most important pages, and upgrade your action buttons for quick wins. No massive rebrands or endless redesigns required, just smart, targeted improvements that help your visitors do what you most want them to do. When you learn how to maximize the website traffic you already have, your site (and not you) starts working harder for your small business.

    01:42 - How to find your top five most-visited pages in Google Analytics

    03:03 - The three main jobs every website page should have

    06:44 - Questions to ask when evaluating if your pages are working for you

  • 187. What Google Analytics Can't Tell You (And the Free Tools That Can)
    May 5 2026

    In this episode, I break down website behavioral data tools and show how to use them to support smarter decisions and sustainable small business growth.

    Most business owners think once Google Analytics is set up, their website data game is strong. But here’s the problem: Google Analytics 4 gives you only half the story. Sure, you find out how many visitors stop by and which pages they visit, but you’re left guessing about what they actually do once they land on your site. Today I’m sharing the free tools that show you exactly how people interact with your pages, the three heatmap types every small business owner should know about, and why having both quantitative data and behavioral data is the secret to understanding what’s working and what’s falling flat.

    It’s time to make stronger website decisions using real tools and concrete data. I'll walk you through the practical steps to start tracking and understanding your visitors’ behavior, so you can focus your business systems and simplified marketing exactly where they make the biggest impact.

    00:00 - Why Google Analytics only tells half the story

    01:54 - Quantitative vs. behavioral data (what you’re missing)

    03:50 - How to use the three main types of heat maps

    07:19 - Two free tools for website behavioral data

    11:56 - Using path exploration in Google Analytics
