I am a multi-passionate creative marketer who helps women stand out online without burning out. As an accomplished web designer, brand strategist, and published author, I know a thing or two about helping small women-owned businesses grow their online presence, wealth, and impact in the world (because women do good stuff with their money).
Have you ever felt stuck, playing small, or wondering if you’re “enough” to make it as a business owner? I’ve been there too. But I’ve also discovered the transformative power of breaking free, owning your story, and building a brand that truly sets your soul on fire.
As someone who helps service providers create real change, I’m passionate about transforming how you show up online, elevating you from freelancer to badass CEO, and rewriting the narrative that being “too much” is somehow a bad thing.
Here’s the truth: Being too much is about taking risks, owning your passions, and refusing to follow someone else’s lead.
While I learned to bootstrap my business scrappy and solo, I’ve also discovered that when women come together, we’re absolutely unstoppable. You’ve already proven you can do it on your own—now let’s take it to the next level.
Simply put, brand visibility is how easily your ideal clients can find you and your business online. When your brand is visible, you create the opportunity to build brand awareness—creating a lasting impression that stays with potential clients long after they’ve encountered your business.
Brand visibility is about standing out from the crowd and ensuring your message is heard loud and clear. The more visible you are, the more likely people are to:
I’ll be honest—becoming visible as a brand owner can feel really uncomfortable at first. But I promise it gets easier as you go!
You might be thinking, “I’m just a small business owner, not Lululemon or Wendy’s. Do I really need to worry about brand visibility?”
The answer is a resounding YES! Here’s why:
When your brand is visible and authentic, the right people will effortlessly find their way to you. By infusing who you truly are into your brand, you create genuine connections that resonate with your ideal clients and naturally draw them in.
The more people see your brand, the more they’ll trust you. This psychological principle—the mere exposure effect—means people are naturally drawn to what feels familiar.
Increased visibility means more eyes on your business, which translates to a broader reach, greater influence, and ultimately, more opportunities to serve and grow.
By consistently showing up and sharing valuable content, you position yourself as an authority in your field. This builds confidence in your audience and gives you a platform to share your message and make a real difference.
Ultimately, brand visibility leads to increased brand awareness, which drives sales and boosts your bottom line. When people know, like, and trust you, they’re more likely to become loyal clients and enthusiastic referral sources.
Before you can increase your brand visibility, you need to ensure your brand identity is consistent. This means presenting a cohesive image across all platforms and touchpoints.
Your brand should look, feel, and sound the same everywhere, including:
Essentially, you want to create a strong, memorable brand experience that fosters recognition and trust no matter where someone encounters your business.
Once you’ve established a consistent brand identity (or hired a brand strategist like me to do it for you), you can start working on increasing your visibility. While there are countless strategies, here are three powerful approaches that actually work:
Your website is your home base—a 24/7 ambassador for your business. Make sure it’s:
Remember, your website is often the first impression people have of your business, so make it count!
Choose the platforms where your ideal clients hang out and share valuable content that resonates with them. This doesn’t mean being everywhere at once—it’s about showing up consistently where it feels right for you.
If Instagram drains you, maybe a static grid and blogging are better fits. You get to decide when, where, and how much to share. The key is consistency, NOT showing up 24/7 on EVERY platform!
Collaboration is key to expanding your audience and growing your business. Connect with other entrepreneurs, attend industry events, and build meaningful relationships.
This might look like being a guest on podcasts, offering workshops in someone’s membership community, or co-creating content with aligned business owners. Whatever form it takes, your network can become your biggest visibility booster.
Don’t be afraid to step into the spotlight and share your unique gifts with the world. Your perspectives, experiences, and expertise are valuable—and there are people out there who need exactly what you offer.
Brand visibility is a long game that requires consistency, authenticity, and a healthy dose of badassery. It’s about showing up for your audience, building genuine connections, and nurturing relationships over time.
It’s about creating a brand that people know, like, and trust. And that, my friend, takes time—but it’s absolutely worth it!
