Send Carrie a Text Message! You can say you’re trustworthy. You can say you’re experienced. You can say you’re great at what you do. But if your website doesn’t show it visually, visitors hesitate. And hesitation kills conversions.

Send Carrie a Text Message! You’ve worked hard on your website. You’ve got great offers, solid content, even testimonials. The problem is—most visitors never scroll. In fact, studies show your audience decides whether to stay or leave in just 3–5 seconds. So if your website doesn’t immediately answer the right questions and create instant clarity, they’re gone—no matter how great your content is below the fold. In this episode, we’re talking about how to make those first 5 seconds count.

Send Carrie a Text Message! Most people think website launches are just supposed to be messy: The broken buttons. The last-minute changes. The “surprise” tech issues. But what if I told you that it doesn’t have to be that way? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what actually makes a website launch successful—and what usually causes things to go sideways. I’ll also share one of the smoothest launches we’ve ever done and why it worked so well—so you can repeat the process in your own business, whether you’re building a brand-new site or upgrading what you’ve got.

Send Carrie a Text Message! You’ve created your offer. You’ve got your pages built. You’re even getting some traffic… But no one’s clicking your “Book Now,” “Buy Now,” or “Learn More” buttons. The problem? It’s probably your CTA—and that’s great news, because it’s one of the easiest things to fix. In this episode, I’ll walk you through: I’ll also share a fun before-and-after story where a client changed 3 words in her CTA and saw a 40% bump in signups—without changing her offer at all.

I’ll walk you through how to tell the difference, what signs to look for, and how to stop pouring energy into traffic before your site is ready to convert it.

So if you’re spending hours comparing tools hoping one will magically get you to page one... you’re focusing on the wrong thing. In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually matters for SEO —and why your content and structure are doing more heavy lifting than your tech stack. I’ll also share the common mistake I see website owners make that undoes their SEO efforts—regardless of what platform they’re using.

Send Carrie a Text Message! Have you ever stared at a blinking cursor, knowing what you want to say… but not quite sure how to say it in a way that actually connects with your audience?

She’s got a background in comedy, and a no-fluff approach to messaging that truly resonates.
