Consulting Websites: The Definitive Resource
Manage episode 430738425 series 3588700
“When your perfect clients come to your homepage, I want them to say "I'm in the right place.”
Let’s talk about websites for consultants. What do you need to include? What do you need to leave out? What does each page need to have on it? In this episode, we’ll go through exactly what you need to do to have a consulting website that will help you land clients.
I was so excited to get this question from a viewer.
“How do I turn my website from an expensive online brochure into something that's actually getting me consulting clients?”
I cannot believe that in over 200 episodes, I've never talked about websites! Websites absolutely help us get clients in two key ways:
- Discovery. People will go into a search engine, Google you, or find a directory or a reference to you and land upon your website, and that's the way that they discover that you exist.
- Learn more. They've heard about you somewhere and want to check you out. So they go to your website to do that.
Either way, if your website isn’t optimized for current or potential clients, you could be leaving some serious $$$ on the table. Today, I’m digging into websites with my comprehensive guide. Make some of these tweaks and watch your consulting business shift in your favor. BTW you’re going to want to watch ‘til the end because I’m dropping some bonus advanced tips to catapult your success.

Mentioned in this episode:
I have a confession to make. I hate shopping, but I love the way I feel in beautiful clothes. I love to have new looks, and I really don't want to be seen in the same outfits over and over, but I also don't want to clog landfills with more fast fashion. Because I despise shopping, I've been known to buy too quickly and end up with a closet full of things I don't wear. But everything changed for me when I discovered Armoire. I was heading to a business event in Hawaii and I wanted to look fantastic. I got a gorgeous dress and the cutest jumpsuit. Armir is like sharing a closet with your girlfriends who just happened to have fabulous taste. Once a month, I choose stunning new selections, and a few days later, a package arrives at my door, new clothes, no shopping, different looks, no waste. I've rented over $60,000 of designer clothes for just $119 a month, and I'm constantly asked, "Where did you get that from?" Armoire! Try it for yourself.
