Coffee & Conversions | SEO, Pinterest & Organic Marketing Strategies to Grow Outside of Social Media

How long does SEO take to work? Longer than four hundred cheap pages can fake, and I have a client story that proves it. In this episode, I'm telling you about a client who felt like she never got results, why our SEO foundation work stalled out after two years of silence, and what happened when she found a cheap agency promising four hundred new location pages. I'm breaking down why location pages SEO only works when every page is genuinely unique, why Google Business Profile reviews became the single biggest lever I recommend to clients, and the real difference between a foundation and ongoing growth. Here's what you'll hear: Why "how long does SEO take to work" actually has an answer, and it is not overnight What goes wrong when a business stops building on top of its SEO foundation Why location pages SEO backfires the moment pages get duplicated instead of unique How Google Business Profile reviews became the biggest growth lever I recommend, and it costs nothing Three red flags to watch for if an agency pitches you bulk pages or directory listings LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Blog post for this episode:https://bypwdesigns.com/how-long-does-seo-take-to-work SEO Services (including SEO Foundations): https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-services/ Book a Baby Step coaching call: https://bypwdesigns.com/coaching-call SEO Monitoring Tools Guide: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-monitoring-tools One Page SEO Checklist: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-best-practices-checklist Website: https://bypwdesigns.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@julie.pwdesigns/videos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.pwdesigns/

Google's AI content policy doesn't care if you used ChatGPT or wrote every word yourself, but your traffic might be dipping without you doing anything wrong. In this episode, I'm breaking down what Google's AI content policy actually says (not what the internet is guessing), why Anthropic's new watermarking on Claude content may not change the rules, and why your rankings can hold steady while your clicks quietly drop. I'll walk through the real data on AI overviews and show you how I use AI generated content in client work without setting off Google's spam flags. Here's what you'll hear: What Google's AI content policy says about using AI tools on your site  What are Google AI overviews, and how to tell if they're eating your click through rate instead of your rankings What Anthropic's new Claude watermark does and doesn't prove about your content Why one client's flat traffic graph was hiding a smarter, more diversified AI SEO strategy How I actually use AI content and SEO together in client work so it still ranks LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Blog post for this episode: https://bypwdesigns.com/google-ai-content-policy Google's guidance on generative AI content: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/using-gen-ai-content Anthropic's "How Claude marks AI generated content": https://support.claude.com/en/articles/16266773-how-claude-marks-ai-generated-content P&W Designs SEO Services: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-services/ Website: https://bypwdesigns.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@julie.pwdesigns/videos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.pwdesigns/

EEAT SEO is the difference between a blog that ranks and one that just sits there, and most business owners are getting it wrong without realizing it. In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually makes a good blog post in 2026, including the technical checklist I run on every single post for my clients. I'm also walking you through why Google is deindexing so much AI written content right now, and what separates a blog that ranks from one that never gets traction. Here's what you'll hear: Why Google is deindexing more content than ever and what EEAT SEO has to do with it The real reason "non-AI written" blog services are quietly using AI anyway A real client example of blogs that got deindexed, then came back after we added her actual story The technical checklist I run on every post (word count, slugs, meta descriptions, and more) Why story always comes before keyword, and how to actually get your story out of your head LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Blog post for this episode:https://bypwdesigns.com/eeat-seo-blog-checklist Amy Boland Hauser's website: https://www.amybolandhauser.com/ SEO Monitoring Tools Guide: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-monitoring-tools One Page SEO Checklist: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-best-practices-checklist Pinterest Marketing Course: https://bypwdesigns.com/pinterest-marketing-course P&W Designs SEO Services: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-services/ Website: https://bypwdesigns.com/ FOLLOW ALONG: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@julie.pwdesigns/videos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.pwdesigns/  

It's been over six months since I did a real life update, so today's episode is exactly that: business, health, and everything in between. In this episode, I catch you up on where P&W Designs stands in 2026 (hint: it looks nothing like it did three years ago), what's shifting in my pricing and services, and how my health and identity work have been going behind the scenes. No SEO talk, no strategy breakdown. Just a coffee chat catch up, friend to friend. Here's what you'll hear: How P&W Designs evolved into a full organic marketing agency, and why I brought on two contractors this year Why I'm stepping back from Pinterest management and what's replacing it The gut health and thyroid progress I've made after switching providers this year The identity and mental health work I'm doing through Brittany's Become Her program Why our student loan payoff has me rethinking cash flow and freedom going into 2027 LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Website: https://bypwdesigns.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.pwdesigns/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@julie.pwdesigns/videos

Your website relaunch checklist shouldn't start with traffic numbers. It should start with the metrics that actually tell you if Google sees you. In this episode, I'm breaking down what success really looks like after a website launch or relaunch, and why most people are measuring the wrong things at the wrong time. I'm pulling real data from my own clients so you can see what normal growth looks like in the first few months. Here's what you'll hear: Why daily traffic in the first 30 to 60 days means nothing (and what to watch instead) The relaunch traps nobody warns you about, including the temporary traffic dip How to spot real customer feedback versus compliments from people who love you What a keyword ranking tracker should actually show you month over month Real before and after client numbers, including one site that went from 9 to 154 clicks in six months LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Blog post for this episode: https://bypwdesigns.com/website-relaunch-checklist On-Page SEO Checklist: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-best-practices-checklist#cta SEO Monitoring Tools Guide: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-monitoring-tools P&W Designs SEO Services: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-services/ Website: https://bypwdesigns.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@julie.pwdesigns/videos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.pwdesigns/

An AI assistant for business can do a lot more than answer one quick question, and in my studio I have four of them running the heavy lifting alongside one human employee. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the five employees running my SEO and web design business on 20 hours a week. I break down the real difference between prompting AI and actually employing it, walk you through each of my four AI employees plus my one human VA, and get honest about how I use AI in client work and why my pricing reflects that. There's also a surprise at the end for Create It, Pin It, Let It Work students. Here's what you'll hear: Why prompting AI and employing AI are not the same thing, and which one actually scales The four AI employees I built and the exact job each one does How to build a Claude skill that runs a whole task in your business start to finish The honest truth about using AI for client work and pricing it fairly A free Pinterest skill surprise waiting for course students LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Blog post for this episode: https://bypwdesigns.com/ai-assistant-business P&W Designs SEO Services: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-services/ Website: https://bypwdesigns.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@julie.pwdesigns/videos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.pwdesigns/

Blog vs Substack is the question I am getting on repeat from clients and entrepreneurs in my communities right now, and most of them are about to make the wrong move. In this episode, I am breaking down why Substack feels like the fresh start everyone is craving, why it works for someone like Jenna Kutcher (and why that is a misleading example to copy), and the real reason most entrepreneurs should not start a Substack right now. I am also walking through 3 specific things that have to be different about blogging in the age of AI if you want to actually see results. Here's what you'll hear: Why Substack is suddenly everyone's backup plan and what is really going on with Instagram reach The 4 things people miss about Jenna Kutcher's Substack move The trap most entrepreneurs fall into when they ditch the blog for Substack 3 things that have to be different about blogging in 2026 (including how to build topical authority on your site) When a Substack actually does make sense, and when it definitely does not LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Blog post for this episode: https://bypwdesigns.com/blog-vs-substack/  SEO on Tap (use code JULIEW for $50 off): https://duocollective.com/seo-on-tap  P&W Designs SEO Services: https://bypwdesigns.com/seo-services/  Website: https://bypwdesigns.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@julie.pwdesigns/videos  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.pwdesigns/

Finding the right female founders community is one of the most underrated moves you can make for your business. In this episode, I'm sharing the two female entrepreneurship communities that have made a real difference for me, in my business and in how I show up as a woman in business. I just got back from a three day retreat with one and had a dinner with the other in LA, and both left me feeling like I had finally found my people. If you have ever felt isolated running your business, this one is for you. Here's what you'll hear: A behind the scenes look at what really happens at a female founders retreat (mindset work, somatic coaching, limiting belief exercises, and more) Why the CEO Besties virtual community has been worth every penny, and how I joined as their SEO and Pinterest strategist The real difference between casual monthly meetups and a paid virtual membership for building business friendships How mindset and somatic work actually fit into running a business, even if you're a skeptic like me How to know if a women in business community is the right next step for you LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Blog post for this episode: https://bypwdesigns.com/female-founders/  Female Founders Twin Cities: https://femalefounderstwincities.com  CEO Besties: https://theceobesties.com/membership  Unlock Her Co (Brittany Heyboer): https://unlockherco.com  Website: https://bypwdesigns.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@julie.pwdesigns/videos  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.pwdesigns/

Ever wondered what actually happens on an SEO coaching call? In this episode, you get a front row seat to a real one. I sat down with Haley from Nutrition with Haley and ran through her website live. We talked through what's working, what's holding her back from showing up in search, and the exact fixes I'd make first. If you've been staring at your own site wondering why no one is finding you, this episode breaks down how to optimize a webpage in a way that actually moves the needle. In this episode, you'll hear: Why your H1 header is probably hurting your search visibility (and the book analogy that fixes it) The eyebrow header trick for Showit sites that lets you keep the pretty headline AND rank How to do real keyword research with Ubersuggest (volume + difficulty thresholds I use every time) What domain authority actually means and why podcast guesting is the easiest backlink win Why ADA compliance is an SEO issue, not just a legal one The talk-to-Claude blogging method for entrepreneurs who hate typing About Haley: Haley is a registered and licensed dietitian with 12+ years of experience, running her private practice Nutrition with Haley.

Becoming a mom does something strange to your business. One day you know exactly what you're doing. The next day you're staring at your laptop wondering whose life this is and whether any of it still fits. In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Kirk, host of the Reclaiming Your Hue podcast and a real estate agent running a business alongside her husband Joe. Kelly named her podcast after female flamingos, who lose their pink coloring after having babies. It's the perfect metaphor for what happens to women in motherhood and entrepreneurship, and it's the reason she left a career in mortgage to build something that actually fit her life. We get into the identity shift nobody warns you about, why she tells every mom entrepreneur to "do it messy," how she grew her podcast (including the Buzzsprout SEO trick she wishes she'd known sooner), and why building a village matters more than any business strategy. What you'll hear: The flamingo story and why it resonates with so many moms in business How Kelly knew it was time to leave mortgage and trust the pivot The biggest lesson she's pulled from interviewing dozens of mom entrepreneurs Practical podcasting advice for women thinking about starting one Why perfectionism is the thing killing your momentum, not your strategy Connect with Kelly on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, and go listen to Reclaiming Your Hue wherever you get your podcasts. If this one resonated, I wrote a full blog post breaking down the motherhood and entrepreneurship conversation in more depth. Link in the show notes.

AI can build your website in 20 minutes. But is it actually set up to get found? In this episode, Julie breaks down vibe coding -- what it is, where it genuinely helps, and where it starts working against you. From missing title tags and blank alt text to the subdomain trap that's quietly splitting your SEO authority, this is the conversation most business owners need to have before they hit publish on an AI-built site. Julie shares a real client example, explains why Google sees almost nothing on most vibe coded websites, and gives you one simple homework assignment before you close this episode. If you're a business owner building or refreshing your website with AI tools, this one is for you.   Blog: https://bypwdesigns.com/vibe-coding/    P&W Designs:  SEO Services  Visit my Website  Watch on YouTube Follow me on Instagram 

Every year I sit down with my daughter for her birthday episode... this is more for me than anyone else, but anywho... This year she's turning seven — and she has a lot to say about Bluey, chess, SpongeBob, and why play is basically the answer to everything.

This one is extra special. It's my first interview episode since the rebrand to Coffee and Conversions, and I'm bringing on someone I've actually had the privilege of working with. Courtney Tanaka is the founder of Renew Me Physical Therapy and Wellness, a Twin Cities-based PT practice offering in-home and office care for moms, runners, and active adults. She spent 12+ years in a clinic setting before burnout pushed her to finally bet on herself, and she's been building Renew Me for just over a year and a half. In this episode, we get into the honest, messy truth of starting a physical therapy private practice: the fantasy Courtney had in her head before she launched, the reality that showed up instead, the safety nets she quietly built before leaving her stable clinic job, and the moment she realized she had to stop DIY-ing her SEO and bring in help. We also talk about what it looks like to grow a wellness business through referrals, how a website redesign functions as a credibility tool, and why networking with your "power people" (chiropractors, doulas, massage therapists, fitness studios) might be the most underrated growth strategy for healthcare providers. If you're a wellness professional, a service-based business owner, or anyone who's ever looked at a stable paycheck and thought, "I think I could do this on my own," this episode is for you.

Website ADA compliance is one of those things most business owners assume was handled when their site was built. But in reality, many websites unintentionally create barriers for users and leave business owners exposed to risk. In this episode, I break down what ADA compliance actually means for your website, the real standards behind accessibility, and the uncomfortable truth that many web designers don’t address it at all. I walk through the WCAG principles in plain English, explain how accessibility overlaps with SEO and conversions, and share five practical fixes you can implement immediately, including font sizes, color contrast, alt text, and heading structure. If you have a website and want to ensure it’s built on a stronger, more strategic foundation, this episode will give you the clarity to know what matters and what to fix first.

SEO is not dead — and it’s definitely not optional if you want to grow beyond referrals and social media. In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m walking you through five practical SEO steps every small business owner can take to optimize their website — starting today. These are the same SEO foundations I use with my clients to help their websites show up in Google and AI-powered search. I also break down why SEO still matters in the age of AI, why most DIY websites never get found, and how small changes to your copy and structure can completely change your visibility. By the end of this episode, you’ll know: Exactly what 5 SEO steps to focus on first Why keywords still matter (even with AI) How to tell if Google and AI can understand your website When to DIY, when to get help, and what actually moves the needle If you want support deciding what to do first, you can book a 1-hour SEO strategy call.

If you’re a small business owner and someone could search what you do + your city… but you’re not showing up, this episode is for you. In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m breaking down five quick local SEO wins that actually move the needle. Not theory. Not trends. The same strategies I use with real clients to help service-based businesses show up in Google when it matters most. We’re talking Google Business Profiles, location keywords, reviews, technical setup, and the biggest mistakes I see small businesses making that keep them invisible online. If you’re tired of chasing algorithms, posting nonstop on social media, and wondering why your website isn’t doing its job, this episode will give you clarity and a clear next step.

It just needs to be done right.   SEO Monitoring Tools Guide  One Page SEO Checklist    See show notes -https://bypwdesigns.com/local-seo-checklist/   P&W Designs:  SEO Services  Visit my Website  Watch on YouTube Follow me on Instagram 

Pinterest is a search engine. So if you’re not using keywords for Pinterest strategically, your pins can look amazing… and still go nowhere. In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m focusing on Tailwind’s new keyword research tool (beta) and how it helps you find the keywords people are actually searching on Pinterest — without spinning your wheels. This is NOT a step-by-step tutorial (I cover that visually in the blog + YouTube). Instead, I’m giving you the strategy behind the tool so you know what to look for, what matters, and how to choose keywords that can drive real traffic. Inside this episode, I cover: What Tailwind’s keyword tool shows you (demand, related suggestions, and “resonance”) How to tell the difference between keywords that help vs. keywords that waste your time Why diversifying keywords across your pins matters (especially if you batch content) The keyword mistakes that quietly tank reach (vague boards, trend-chasing, mismatched links) When Tailwind helps most — and when I still start with Google Search Console first If Pinterest feels like you’re posting without knowing why, this episode is your clarity moment.

In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m getting honest about how web design affects SEO—and the quiet red flags I keep seeing that are hurting traffic after website redesigns. I’m sharing real examples from behind the scenes where beautiful, high-end websites launched… and then lost rankings, visibility, and inquiries. Not because the business did anything wrong, but because SEO was treated like a checkbox instead of a strategy. We’re talking about what “SEO ready” actually means, why structure matters more than aesthetics, how design decisions impact search visibility, and the questions you have to ask before signing a web design contract. This isn’t about blaming designers or second-guessing past decisions. It’s about giving you clarity, so you can protect your website, your traffic, and the work you’ve already built. If you’ve ever wondered why a new website made things worse—or you’re planning a redesign and want to do it right—this episode is for you.

Coffee & Conversions is officially here—and this episode explains why. For over two years, this show lived under the name Being Better Everyday. And while that name fit a season of growth, curiosity, and learning, it started to feel heavy. Like pressure. Like one more standard to meet in a world already obsessed with optimization. So I’m closing that chapter. In this launch episode, I share the real story behind the rebrand—what changed in my life, my business, and my relationship with “self-improvement,” and why Coffee & Conversions feels aligned with how I actually live and work now. We talk about: Why constant “being better” started to feel like pressure instead of progress How hustle culture, productivity talk, and body optimization made the name feel not as intended  Why conversions matter—and why SEO, web design, and strategy can’t live in silos What this podcast will continue to be about (and what it won’t) This isn’t a reinvention. It’s a refinement. If you want honest, understandable strategy around SEO, web design, Pinterest, and organic growth—without tech bro jargon or hustle culture—you’re already in the right place. Welcome to Coffee & Conversions. I’m really glad you’re here.

In this episode, I sit down with Amy from Hello & Co. to talk about something every small business owner quietly stresses about… their website copy. We go deep into why good copy matters, what actually keeps people reading, and why design alone will never carry the weight of your message. We also get real about the big question floating around the online business world: Is AI coming for copywriters? Amy and I break down what AI can help with, where it falls flat, and why human connection and real storytelling still win every time. If you’ve ever stared at your website and thought “this just doesn’t sound like me,” or wondered when it’s time to hire a copywriter vs. DIY, this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been craving. We talk about: • what makes website copy actually convert • when DIY copy stops working • the difference between “pretty words” and strategic messaging • how personality, tone, and connection impact sales • using AI as a tool without losing your voice • why great copy transforms the way people experience your business Whether you’re updating your site, prepping for a rebrand, or trying to attract better-fit clients, this conversation will shift the way you think about the words on your website.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Natalie Bernacchi and Emily Collins, co-founders of The CEO Besties, to talk about mindset coaching, community, and what it truly means to build a business that feels aligned with your life. We get real about: Why a mastermind for female entrepreneurs hits different than traditional group coaching How mindset coaching keeps you grounded when business gets messy The truth about startup mindset—and what it really takes to go all-in on yourself And how collaboration over competition can fast-track your success (and make entrepreneurship way less lonely) If you’ve been craving connection, clarity, or just a reminder that you’re not building your dream alone—this one’s for you.

I’m pulling back the curtain on the online courses for creative service providers that have made the biggest difference in my business (and my sanity). These courses have helped me grow faster, skip the overwhelm, and learn from experts without dropping thousands on 1:1 coaching.

This week I’m sharing something a little different—I was recently interviewed on the Light Her Up Podcast and loved the conversation so much that I had to bring it here for you, too. We talk about what it really looks like to juggle corporate finance, motherhood, and building a business in the margins of everyday life. I share how I went from designing custom planners to running P&W Designs—branding, web design, and SEO—and why teaching clients the “why” behind their website is non-negotiable. Inside this episode, you’ll hear: The messy but practical beginnings of my business (and why starting small matters) How SEO completely shifted my approach to web design Simple nervous system tools I use when anxiety creeps in The power of community and why honest client education shortens the path to results If you’re the visionary juggling a full plate and craving momentum without waiting for “perfect,” this one’s for you.

A beautiful website doesn’t guarantee new clients—if Google can’t find you, neither can they. In fact, 96% of web pages get zero organic traffic. That’s why learning how to check if your website is showing up on Google is one of the most important steps you can take as a business owner. In this episode, I’m sharing a simple, beginner-friendly SEO check you can do today to see if your site is visible online. I’ll walk you through the exact SEO tools for small business owners—like Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Ubersuggest—so you can finally understand how people are (or aren’t) finding you. You’ll also hear about common mistakes that keep websites hidden, including missing keywords, weak meta descriptions, and thin content. And most importantly, I’ll give you actionable SEO tips you can start using right away—like updating a single page with a targeted keyword or submitting your sitemap to Google. If you’ve been wondering why your website isn’t bringing in traffic or leads, this episode will give you clarity, direction, and the confidence to take control of your visibility. Because your dream clients are already searching online. The question is—are they finding you?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Christine (CJ), the heart and hands behind Massage by CJ in Minnesota. Her journey into massage started after a childhood accident opened her eyes to the power of healing—and over the years, she’s built a practice rooted in listening, intuition, and creating exactly what each client needs. CJ and I also pull back the curtain on what it was like to build her brand and website together, and how learning the ins and outs of SEO shifted the way she thinks about showing up for her business. This conversation is part personal story, part behind-the-scenes business growth—and it’s packed with takeaways for anyone who wants their work to connect with the people who need it most.
