what to do when your website isn't converting

Let’s talk about something no one wants to admit out loud:

You have a website… but it’s not doing anything.

No inquiries.

No ideal clients knocking on your digital door.

Just a lot of digital dust. Your website isn’t converting.

And I see you—you’ve tried all the free tips, watched the reels, saved the carousels, maybe even swapped out your font or added a new button. But still? Crickets.

Here’s the truth: It’s not you. It’s the strategy (or lack of it).


Why the free advice hasn’t worked

There’s a lot of well-meaning advice out there.

But what most of it skips over is that your website isn’t just a design project—it’s a strategy tool.

And strategy looks different for every business.

That freebie you downloaded?

That headline formula that’s supposed to “instantly convert”?

Those random SEO hacks?

They’re not built for your specific brand, your people, or your unique offer—and without a clear foundation, they’re just Band-Aids on a bigger issue.


Why your website isn’t converting (yet)

Let’s simplify this. There are usually two core reasons a website isn’t converting:

1. You don’t have brand clarity.

You’re trying to say everything to everyone, but your dream clients are skimming right past. Why? Because you’re not speaking directly to them.

Without brand foundations—who you serve, what you offer, how you’re different, and why it matters—your copy will fall flat. Your dream client won’t see themselves in your words.

2. You’re not getting traffic.

Even the most beautiful, strategic website won’t convert if no one sees it.

And most DIY site builders (understandably!) forget about the behind-the-scenes part: SEO, content strategy, and lead generation. If you’ve never touched your meta titles or structured your site around high-impact keywords, you’re missing a huge opportunity to bring people in.


So what can you do when your website isn’t converting—without a big investment?

Good news: You don’t need a full rebrand to move forward.

You just need a few strategic shifts that make a huge difference.

1. Revisit your brand foundations

Get crystal clear on:

  • Who you’re talking to
  • What they want (and what’s keeping them stuck)
  • The transformation you offer
  • What makes you the one to help them

Start here with my Brand Foundation Worksheet.

2.  Refine your message

Take a look at your homepage. Ask yourself:

  • Is it clear who I serve and what I do (in 2 seconds or less)?
  • Does my copy sound like me—or a robot who read too many marketing books?
  • Is it obvious how to work with me?

Speak like you’re having a conversation with your dream client. Clarity > cleverness.

3. Fix the layout of your homepage

Most DIY websites suffer from poor structure, not poor style.

Focus on:

  • A clear headline
  • A short intro about what makes you different
  • A section on your services
  • Testimonials or transformation stories
  • A freebie or lead magnet
  • A strong CTA

Simple, strategic, scroll-worthy. That’s the goal.


When you’re ready to grow

If you’ve been stuck in this weird middle space—where you know you’re capable of more but your brand doesn’t reflect it—it might be time to get real support.

You deserve more than a pieced-together site that only kinda works.

You deserve a brand and website that show up for you—even when you’re offline.

And when you’re ready to invest in something that actually moves the needle?

I’m here.

Until then? Start with clarity.

Because even the smallest shifts in your brand strategy can lead to big wins over time.
