My soap box

Brand, PR, and search visibility top tips.

Short pieces about what actually moves the needle for a business that is already good yet still invisible.

First up

Topics

These are the six topics I keep coming back to, so expect to see blogs further exploring them.

AI search Coming soon

What the assistants say about you when nobody is watching

Your buyers are asking ChatGPT and Perplexity who does what you do. Here is how to find out whether your name comes up, and what to do about it when it does not.

Personal brand Coming soon

Nobody buys from a logo

The founder is usually the most interesting thing about the company, but the last thing anyone puts on the site. Why that is backwards, and what to do instead.

PR Coming soon

A press list is not a strategy

Most people pitching journalists are pitching the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time. A look at what actually gets picked up.

The program Coming soon

Why I audit before I touch anything

Almost every brand I have worked with was already sitting on something that worked but had stopped running it. Identifying those strategies is cheaper than building new ones.

Positioning Coming soon

Being the best kept secret is not the right goal

There is a point where modesty stops being charming and starts costing you money. How to tell when you have crossed that line.

Working Coming soon

Running a business from wherever the water is warm

The honest version of living a remote lifestyle. What has to be true for it to work, and the parts people don’t highlight.

In the meantime

I also write on Medium

Until the blogs above are posted, you can find my other writing on Medium and LinkedIn.
