Episode Description

In this episode, Jules White walks through a real website and SEO audit with a client who runs an online cookery school for teenagers. Together, they explore how to make the website work harder, from improving visibility on Google to creating a clearer structure that supports both traffic and conversions.

Jules focuses on practical, foundational changes that can make a real difference over the next six months. This includes identifying what the homepage should actually be trying to rank for, simplifying messaging, and making sure the website is set up in a way that search engines can properly understand.

Throughout the audit, Jules highlights how easy it is to get stuck “tinkering” without a clear strategy, and why stepping back to define your focus can unlock better results.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why your homepage needs a clear focus keyword and purpose
  • How to use Google Search Console to see what your site is already being found for
  • The importance of page titles, descriptions, and front-loading key phrases
  • How heading structure (H1, H2, H3) helps search engines understand your content
  • Why separating strategy, copy, and build makes your website feel less overwhelming
  • The role of clarity in helping both users and Google understand what you offer

If your website feels busy, unclear, or like it’s not quite doing its job yet, this episode will give you a simple way to refocus on what actually matters.

Ever feel like your business should be easier to find on Google & in AI search?

You’re not imagining it - most local businesses already have a Google Business Profile, but it’s sitting there, half-filled and hidden. That means people searching for your exact services might be finding your competitors instead.

The good news is you don’t need to spend hours posting on social media to fix it. A few intentional updates to your Google Business Profile can make a big difference in how often you show up in Maps and local searches.
