I got a call the other day with the question “How can we improve our website,” and the statement, “We need to do social media.”

First thing’s first. I needed to figure out why they needed to change their site, what changes would make the most sense, and why they thought the solution was social media.

We looked at their sales goals, website traffic, and the ratio of traffic to online sales.

Experts stand out when they practice what they preach and here I was, an expert in web development and SEO who was embarrassed of my own website to the point that I was driving traffic away from my site and losing market share because of it.

I excused my poor performance on being so hyper focused on my clients’ websites so I neglected my own site. This excuse certainly wasn’t helping my search engine position or my sales. I knew I had to do something about it and FAST! My site sucked and it was costing me sales. I gave myself a 30-day challenge to turn that ship around and I increased my traffic 30 percent in 30 days.
