"Should I use WordPress or Squarespace?"

I get asked this all the time. Here's the honest answer:

It depends on what your website actually needs to do.

📌 SQUARESPACE — Good for simple portfolios and side projects. Easy to use, but limited SEO and you don't really own it.

📌 WORDPRESS — Flexible and powerful, but easy to break. Needs ongoing maintenance. Quality varies wildly.

📌 CUSTOM-BUILT — Fast, great for SEO, built specifically for your business. Higher upfront cost, but you own everything.

The real question: Is your website a "digital business card" or does it need to bring in leads?

If it's the latter, skip the DIY platforms.

"Why aren't we showing up on Google?"

I hear this all the time from small business owners. And honestly? The fix is usually simpler than you'd think.

It's almost always one of these 7 things:

❌ Google Business Profile isn't set up right
❌ Google hasn't indexed your site yet
❌ You've only got one generic page
❌ Your competitors have more reviews/trust
❌ You're targeting the wrong searches
❌ Technical stuff is broken under the hood
❌ Your business is just too new

I put together a free guide that walks through each one—how to check if it's affecting you, and exactly how to fix it.

No fluff. No "contact us for a quote" gatekeeping. Just the actual answers.
