WHAT YOU GET

One webinar, three parts

The BrightonSEO talk

The full talk from BrightonSEO San Diego: what happened to Sierra Nevada's search traffic, and exactly how we turned things around.

A live tool walkthrough

Lindsie walks through the free Google Sheets tool, built with formulas and AI prompts, that helps you map personas and plan content.

Live Q&A with Lindsie

Bring your questions about your own site, your data, or your content plan, we genuinely can't wait to chat with you about it!

A #1 ranking isn't the same as the right audience

Keyword rank tells you that you're visible. It doesn't tell you whether you're visible to the people who actually buy, or whether your content answers what they need in that moment.

Case in point

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. held the #1 ranking for "hazy IPA," but organic traffic kept dropping. In a zero-click world, rank alone wasn't bringing people in. And the people actually buying were mostly women, while the top-ranking content was written for a very different reader. Same rank, wrong audience.

What you'll learn

A practical framework you can start using the same week

Why top rankings can still lose you traffic

The gap between "ranking" and "reaching the right person," and how to spot it in your own data.

The Who / Why / When framework

Every keyword cluster hides a persona, an occasion, and a purchase phase. We'll show you how to pull all three out.

Your free Google Sheets tool, live

We'll build a persona × occasion × phase matrix together from your Search Console data, using the formulas and AI prompts already set up in the sheet.
