Key Takeaways:
"Think about the analogy of a home country and its embassies. If you think about the social media accounts, in particular, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, wherever else you happen to be active. Think of those as the embassies and the goal of those embassies. The activity that you do on those platforms is to drive people back to your home country, which is your website." - Paul Copcutt
"There are five key pages that you want to think about, or sections of your website that are kind of core conversion pages. The homepage really needs to answer straight away, will you solve my problem?" - Paul Copcutt
"Don't make it all about you. You don't need to be the hero. The hero is your client." - Paul Copcutt
"Don't try to target everybody, you can't be everything to everyone, because then you really know nothing to nobody." - Paul Copcutt
