In this episode - a milestone 150th - Jules White answers the SEO questions she gets asked most often, the ones that come up again and again in messages and in real-life conversations. Think of it as a "start here" episode: the one to send to a friend who is stressing about showing up on Google or feeling worn out by social media.

Jules works through six of the questions she hears most, from whether SEO is dead now that everyone is using AI, to whether you really need to be on social media, blog constantly, or hand your SEO over to someone else. Along the way she explains why strong foundations still matter, why your core website pages usually come before blogging, and why you want to understand enough to own your own strategy even when someone else does the implementing.

The Top Questions About SEO Jules Answers:

  1. Is SEO dead now that everyone's using AI?
  2. Do I have to be on social media for my SEO to work?
  3. Do I need to blog all the time?
  4. What even are keywords, and how do I find mine?
  5. How do I know if any of this is working?
  6. Should I learn this myself or pay someone to do it for me?

Jules's one takeaway from the whole episode: get really clear on your messaging - what you do, who you help, how you make their life better, why they should choose you over your competitors and what they need to do to get it. Get that in place and everything else becomes so much easier.

If you've ever wondered whether SEO still matters, whether you can skip social media, or whether to learn this yourself or pay someone, this is a good episode to start with.

Ever feel like your business should be easier to find on Google & in AI search?

The good news is you don’t need to spend hours posting on social media to fix it. A few intentional updates to your Google Business Profile can make a big difference in how often you show up in Maps and local searches.

That’s where my Local Google Visibility Checklist comes in.
