Stop Making Your Fans Play Detective: A Simple SEO Checklist to Get Found

Unless your website’s hidden deep inside another dimension, I shouldn’t need Sherlock Holmes to find it. Yet that’s exactly what happens to so many people - their name is out there, their work is fantastic, but Google can’t quite connect the dots. If your fans have to play detective to discover you, we’ve got a case to solve.

Here’s your “No Detectives Needed” SEO checklist:

Type your name (or band name) into Google and see what pops up. If your site isn’t on page one, start here:

✅ Update your page title so it clearly says who you are and what you do.
Example: “Sarah Stone | Children’s Author.”

✅ Add descriptive alt text to your images. Google can’t see your book cover - it needs clues in the file description.

✅ Link your social media accounts back to your site to create trustworthy trails.

✅ Make sure your homepage links directly to where people can buy or stream your work.

Why most people get stuck:

✅ They assume Google knows who they are (it doesn’t).

✅ They think SEO is only for “techy” people.

✅ They don’t check what’s actually showing in search results until it’s too late.

You don’t need a detective degree to fix it - you just need guidance from someone who can make the clues line up.

PS: On a side note, some websites have a big, underlying problem: their platforms stink! I was never fully happy with platforms like Drip, Wordpress and Shopify so I decided to build my own - the platform of my dreams🤩 Now I’m offering it to people who also feel the pain of paying WAY too much for essential tools that don’t stink. Let me know if you want details.

Take care, and always...aspire to be better, my friend!
