What I’m noticing with businesses that are growing right now

I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately with business owners who feel like they’re doing all the right things—posting content, running ads, answering phones—yet growth still feels harder than it should.

What I’m noticing is that the businesses gaining traction usually have three things working together:

First, they have a clear way to attract the right traffic online, not just more traffic. That usually means understanding how search, content, and simple funnels work so they’re not relying only on paid ads or social media luck.

Second, they have systems that actually follow up. Not just a CRM sitting there, but tools that make it easy to stay in touch with leads, send reminders, and keep relationships warm without more manual work.

Third, they’re using data instead of guesswork. They know which messages convert, where leads come from, and what to improve next—so marketing decisions get easier over time.

I’ve personally been spending more time around platforms and tools that support these three areas, and it’s been interesting to see how much smoother marketing becomes when education, automation, and analytics are all aligned.

If you’ve ever felt like your marketing is scattered—or that you’re one good system away from clarity—it might be worth taking a fresh look at how all the pieces fit together.

As always, happy to share what I’m seeing or point you toward resources that have been helpful for me and others.

Best,
