UNDERSTAND YOUR AUDIENCE

Have you ever wondered who's visiting your website and how they navigate through it? Are they leaving the pages too soon, or are they staying and reading through? Where are they located?

GA4 will help you decode the language of your audience by telling you:

👉What pages are getting the most love

👉How people find your website (Is it through social, organic searches, or direct links?)

👉How long they stay on your site

👉Where on Earth are they from

👉What does their journey on your site look like

👉And what exactly they're doing

(...and more)

Don't look at data as a barrier to your business - it's not as scary.

Data can be your magic wand. It tells you if your marketing efforts are reaching the target.

B2B or H2H?

Me? Definitely Human to Human! Because that’s who I am, and I know that behind every business, there's a unique story and a real person with dreams.

I’m into genuine relationships, and I’m here to create long lasting ones 🤗

Your success means the world to me, and you're definitely not just a number. In fact, if you tell me your birthday, I will remember it! 🎂

And you know what? If life wasn't full of bills to pay, I’d do this job for free, because that's how much I love what I do and the connections I make along the way.

Have a lovely day xx

I really look forward to Tuesday morning for the co-working session.

This morning Rachel helped us with a great Monthly Growth Planning session, and little Foxy found it very interesting too. He just wanted to make sure I was planning for food and cuddles too 😻

Not the most professional background, but I'm sick today, and trying to do what I can from my comfy bed 😍
Thank you for the great session!

She Owns It NZ with Rachel Lewis Thank you!

“A picture is worth a thousand words”
..so true!

Images have the ability to deliver a message at an emotional level, they ‘speak’ to the person who sees them and evoke emotions.

When it comes to websites, images are very powerful and often, they can either make or break the user experience. They also represent the professionalism of your brand, so when you use images that are not high-quality and or a bit blurry, know that they could send the wrong message to the visitor.

Investing in high-quality visuals it’s something that you should definitely consider, you won’t regret it! 🙂
Each image you use is an opportunity. It's a chance to tell your brand's unique story and create emotional connections with your audience

It's the first of September, already! Time is flying, isn't it?

What's on your digital list this month?

💛 Are you staring at a to-do list of digital tasks that seems to keep growing?

💛 Maybe you've been meaning to make those little design tweaks on your website, but never found the time for it?

💛 Do you have all the ideas and content ready for that amazing lead magnet, but need help bringing it to life?

If any of these sound familiar, just get in touch for a ☕ coffee chat. Just drop me a message, or send me a WhatsApp and we can chat about what you need to get done and if my Intensive Days are the right fit for you.

I've only got two more Intensive Days available this month.

Let's make September a month of progress :)

Would you like to know how visitors interact with your website?

There are tools out there that provide a visual representation of exactly where your visitors are clicking, scrolling, and spending the most time on your website.

These tools are called heat maps, and they:

- provide detailed insights on user behaviour
- show which elements users click on
- help you identify high or low-traffic sections on your website.

Thanks to these tools, you'll be able to understand if your sections are well placed on your page, if a call-to-action should be more prominent, if visitors are clicking more on a specific CTA, and much more.

You can install heat-mapping software and let it sit for a period of time to gather data. Then analyse it and see what it's telling you about your website :)

It sounds a bit creepy, but it's extremely helpful!

Are you feeling a bit stuck?
Are you ready to launch that fantastic offer, but your outdated website is holding you back?
Or you've got a great idea for a workbook, but making it look polished is driving you mad?
Not enough hours in the day, right?
That's where my intensive days step in!
It's not just about design magic (though that's part of the fun). It's about getting things done efficiently.
Whether it's giving your website a total refresh, fine-tuning your brand, improve your website performance, these intensive days are like your time-saving superheroes.
I've got only three spots for intensive days every month (usually Thursdays), so they're as rare as a unicorn 🙂
Don't wait too long - if you need an intensive in your life, send me a message or book a coffee chat, and we'll see if that's the right solution for you (no strings attached).
See what Alison has to say (spoiler: she loved it!):
"Sage Digital Studio has been excellent to work with. I was able to talk through changes on my website that I had identified whilst being guided by Stef in the changes that she also thought were important especially 'behind the scenes'. I think it was great that a specific time was set aside for the work so that we both were able to prioritise what needed to be done and then it was completed within an excellent time frame. Thanks very much."

Sharing a little behind-the-scenes today.

I recently offered a complimentary video website audit to four lovely ladies – a chance for me to dive deep into their online world, provide some guidance, and practice my video communication skill (a lot to improve on that if you ask me).

I was so happy to receive their feedback. It made me realise that my offer brought a big smile to their face.

Sure, generosity and smiles don't pay the bills - I put my time, knowledge, and resources into it, but you know what? I love helping and adding value.

Sometimes, it's not about the price tag, but the genuine care and effort we pour into making our (ideal) clients' dreams come true.

PS: While the free video audit was a limited-time offer, I usually deduct the price of the audit from the final project anyway. So, it's a win-win for all of us!

Have a great day!

Today, I'm wearing my 'illustrator' hat!

While I may not be a professional illustrator, I absolutely love doodling, drawing, sketching, and getting creative in general.

For a project I'm working on at the moment, which will be ready in a couple of months, I'm so lucky to get to do it all – from branding, logo creation, and website copy, to creating icons and illustrations to use on the website and across other marketing channels!

I'm so excited!

Picture of a sneak peek at some cute cats I've been sketching while my kids were swimming.

Can't wait to draw more options and refine the winner drawings!

🌞☁️ Weather Mood Swings ☁️🌞

Does anyone else's mood change depending on the weather? I can't be the only one! 😄

When the sun is shining and the sky is clear, I feel like I can conquer the world!
I've got so much energy and feel like spring cleaning the house (which is not something I particularly enjoy!) I want to do fun activities with the kids and spend time outdoors even if it's a bit chilly.

But when it's all gloomy and cloudy, (MAMMA MIA!) my mood matches the weather perfectly.

Is it just me? How about you? :)

Are you using internal linking throughout your website to interconnect its pages?

Think of your website as a house with many rooms to explore and then think of internal linking as the doors to connect those rooms.

Each room represents a different page on your site, like your blog, services, about page, etc., and internal links connect those pages, making it easy for your visitors to move from one room/page to another.

This is especially important to improve your user experience, ensuring your visitors find everything they need quickly, and don't find themselves lost in a maze.

Search engines love well-organised houses too. They reward good structure with higher rankings, so make sure you have those connecting "doors" in place throughout your website.

Today I'd like to share more about my brand, my values, and what led me to choose SAGE as my business name.

While it could remind you of the herb with a nice flavour, or the calming green tone I use for the brand, SAGE stands for Strategic, Aligned, Genuine, and Empowering.

S.A.G.E. represents more than just unique website design and SEO.

My core values shape everything I do and how I empower heart-led women service providers.

It's not just business; it's a partnership built on trust and shared vision where together, we create meaningful connections.

Strategic: I believe in conscious planning and purposeful ex*****on. Your website is more than a pretty face; it's a strategic tool to achieve your business goals and connect with your audience.

Aligned: From design to SEO strategies, your website will be crafted to align with your brand identity, business goals, and the needs of your target audience.

Genuine: I genuinely care about your success and will establish a relationship built on trust, open communication, and a shared vision.

Empowering: I am dedicated to empowering you to showcase your expertise, grow your online presence, and reach your highest potential.

Have a lovely week,
Stef
