  Do Lead Magnets Still Work?

  Aug 3, 202636 min

  I recently worked with an interior designer whose website was better than her two closest competitors in every way that should matter. Better copy. Better photography. Better user experience. And yet she ranked behind both of them for the exact search terms she needed to win. I dug into why, and what I found changes how I think about lead magnets, referrals, and blogging for every client I work with. Today I'm sharing her real case study, along with what actually drives leads for interior designers and other home industry professionals.

  My Pivot Became a Twirl (LOL)

  Jul 20, 202620 min

  Last fall, I knew something had to change in the way my agency delivered ongoing marketing services. With AI infiltrating everything, it felt like the next, somewhat unnatural step to include an AI element in my service offering and turn the whole thing into an app for client convenience. What ensued after implementing these changes led to me no longer wanting to run my business because it didn't fit ME anymore. Plus, the new way of doing things didn't seem to fit my clients that well, either. I was STRESSED and depressed professionally in a way I'd never been in twelve years of running this agency. I even contacted a business broker to consider selling the entire thing. Dramatic? Maybe, but also relatable. Here's what happened, why it went wrong, and how I found peace with a surprisingly simple solution. In short, my entrepreneurial pivot became a twirl.

  Better SEO Alone Doesn't Mean More Clients

  Jul 6, 202626 min

  If your website has better SEO, you should be getting more clients...right? Not necessarily. The space between SEO and actually making your client feel seen is the most overlooked marketing gap that you need to bridge, and the sooner the better. Both search engines and AI models are matching their users with results based on need and intent. If your website matches their needs and intent, not just explains your services to death, your business will be surfaced more often. Today, I'm sharing how you can make a simple shift in how you talk about your business that will make a profound difference in whether someone who lands on your site simply leaves or actually stays to fill out your contact form.

  Luxury is Redefining Itself & Rebranding Isn't the Solution

  Jun 15, 202621 min

  Has anyone of influence in your life ever insisted that you rebrand your business as part of a growth strategy? Or, perhaps you've considered it on your own. After all, a gorgeous logo and thoughtful color palette are useful for attracting clients, right? Wrong. Pretty things attract people who like pretty things, not necessarily people who want to pay you the big bucks - and that's the end of it. If your business is experiencing a lack of clients, a rebrand won't make draw them in - and has actually proven to backfire. The good news: You just need to reposition what you currently have. Today on The Kate Show, I'm walking you through the rebrand fiascos of giant, well-known companies so that we all can learn from their mistakes. Furthermore, I'm sharing how the luxury client is redefining "luxury" itself and what that means for the future of your high-end design, organizing, or staging business.

  Maximize Your Google Business Profile Amidst Google's March 2026 Core Update

  Jun 1, 202622 min

  Most of us aren't using Google Business correctly. In fact, Google's Core Update in March of 2026 penalized a significant number of local business listings for making several key mistakes. Most notably? Keyword stuffing. But that isn't all - websites were impacted as well, namely, thin or low-quality (often AI-generated with no obvious human oversight) content resulted in ranking downgrades. In today's episode, I'm sharing hands-on, practical ways you can improve your Google Business listing IN MINUTES while avoiding penalization. I also tackle the nagging question, "What should I do if my business doesn't have a physical location and I want my home address kept private?" And also, "What should I do if Google insists I include an address?" And the biggest one of all: "I'm scared that crazy clients will write bad, untrue reviews, but I know I should still have a Google Business profile. What should I do?" Need to Audit More than Just Your Google Business? ✴️ Book a full, no-cost marketing audit right here. 📌 Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:31 Google's March 2026 Core Update 6:27 Best Practices for Google Business Listings 13:43 How to Fix if Google Insists I Add and Verify a Physical Address 16:08 How Do I Handle Bad or Untrue Google Reviews 18:17 Pro Tips for Enhancing Google Business Listings
