As a team of women business owners, we know the importance of maintaining healthy client relationships. We are all trying to navigate the world as small business owners and personal things come up. Sadly, your clients also have personal things come up. They might be understanding the first time, maybe the second time, but they aren't always understanding when it's a pattern. This blog is a little reminder to not "over promise and under deliver".

If you run a business, you have probably heard that reviews matter. Heck, if you read any of our blogs you know that reviews matter. But here is the thing: not all review platforms work the same way, and knowing the difference can change how you approach them.

There is a version of the Lebanese food story that gets told over and over in American food media: grandmother's recipe, nostalgia, warmth and some type of flavored humus. That story is true, and it matters, except for the chocolate hummus. We will argue about that another day.

Imagine ordering a pizza and receiving just one slice. You’d feel shortchanged, right? That’s exactly what happens when small business owners focus on only one marketing channel (aka putting all your eggs in the Instagram basket). Marketing is like a whole pizza, with many slices and toppings that come together to create the perfect pie.

Fast Food Marketing offers some surprisingly clear lessons that any small business can use. Fast food chains have mastered how to grab our attention, build loyalty.

When we first considered adding a chat box to our website, we weren't sure it would make much difference or if people would even use it. Our site is already functional and easy to navigate. But the results surprised the sh*t out of us. We had many people leave chats to meet for branding calls, website inquriers and more without ever getting to our contact page. Our revenue increased by 25 percent in ONE MONTH! Here’s how this simple website feature transformed our customer

Today, we are here to highlight a small business with a BIG intention: VillaVerde Ventures, a Philadelphia-based pregnancy and postpartum meal delivery service.

But SEO in 2026 looks very different from SEO in 2023. (Or, based on this tiktok video we did, someone said we give 2009 knowledge. All the info is still important). Think of it this way: The rules have not changed. The game has.

I was weeding my garden when the notification came through. My client had signed the contract, $25,000 for a complete garage and pantry redesign. I stood there with dirt under my fingernails, staring at my phone, trying to process what had just happened. Just weeks earlier, when I first saw the scope of this project, my immediate thought was: I don't know how to do this. And now here I was, committed to delivering something I'd never done before for a client living in a multi

Why is leaving comments so important? If you want to grow on social media, you have to engage with other accounts. Community isn’t only built in person; it’s just as important to make a real community online. When you show up on other people’s posts, they’ll come back to you when you post something.

As your business grows, the complexity grows quietly. More emails.More deadlines.More client preferences.More decisions to make every single day.

Every small business owner struggles to stay consistent on social media, scrolling daily, trying to follow trends and bring them into their business. Trends move fast; the next day, there’s a new trend to chase. Being a small business owner can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re wearing multiple hats. And if your budget for a social media manager is tight, you have to be your own SMM.
