Debunking the myths that keep your marketing from working smarter, not harder
Marketing can feel overwhelming, especially with all the “advice” floating around online. There’s no shortage of tips, tricks, and hacks. But, not all of them are helpful. In fact, some common marketing myths can do more harm than good.
Let’s bust through the noise and tackle the myths that might be holding your business back.
You’ve launched a beautiful website... congrats! But here’s the thing: just having a website isn’t enough.
Without a strategy for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), your website is like a billboard in the middle of the desert. No matter how great it looks, people won’t find it unless you guide them there.
What to do instead:
Sure, signing up is free, but getting results? That’s another story.
Organic reach on platforms like Facebook and Instagram has dropped dramatically. Even if you have a thousand followers, only a small fraction sees your posts unless you’re paying to promote them.
“My business is local. People find me through word of mouth.” Sound familiar?
Here’s the truth: 97% of people search online to find local businesses. Even if they hear about you from a friend, they’re Googling you before making contact.
You ran an ad once. You posted on social media a few times. Maybe even sent an email blast.
But marketing isn’t a “set it and forget it” task. It’s an ongoing process. Algorithms change, customer behaviors shift, and new competitors pop up.
Word of mouth is powerful, but it’s not a strategy. It’s a byproduct of great service, and while it brings in leads, it’s not predictable or scalable.
Marketing isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things consistently. When you ditch the myths and focus on strategies backed by data, you’ll see better results without burning out.
