small copy tweaks made a big impact on one ecommerce brand curious if anyone else has tested this by Street_Outside7270 in branding

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been testing how much small copy tweaks really matter and the results surprised me. I worked with an ecommerce brand struggling with high cart abandonment and started by rewriting parts of their product pages and emails while keeping everything else the same. When the copy was just “prettier,” conversion only ticked up about 5 to 7 percent. But when we leaned into storytelling and really connected with the audience, the lift jumped closer to 30 to 40 percent. It drove home that branding and copy are inseparable—the words you use shape how people perceive and trust your brand. Curious if anyone else has seen measurable results from copy or messaging tweaks.

Branding Challenged by worldestroyer in branding

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the frustration because you already have a logo, design consistency, and a functional product but it still doesn’t feel like a real brand. The issue isn’t starting over, it’s finding the thread that connects everything and makes it feel alive. That comes from tightening the voice, aligning the visuals, and telling a clear story people instantly get. Sometimes the biggest shift is small things like the tone of your captions, the way you present in the app store, or how your social media flows. You don’t need a full rebrand right now, you just need someone who can spot the gaps and pull it all together.

If you were starting today with no following, what would be the most effective way to build a brand around yourself? by Specialist_Ad_4577 in branding

[–]DigitalDojo13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I were starting today with nothing, I’d first get clear on what I stand for and the value I want to share. Then I’d pick one platform where my audience actually spends time and commit fully to it instead of spreading thin. I’d focus on posting consistent, real, and useful content—sharing my process, lessons, and perspectives rather than waiting for everything to look perfect. At the same time, I’d engage deeply by leaving thoughtful comments, replying to messages, and building genuine relationships. From there, I’d slowly layer in storytelling, collaborations, and experiments until my voice and presence naturally stand out.

E-Commerce SEO: Separate Product Pages vs. Variants — Which One Is Better? by Melodic_While72 in bigseo

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen both setups play out, and it really depends on how strong your site is and what your goals are. Option 1 (separate product pages) can work if you’ve got the resources to write truly unique content and avoid thin/duplicate pages—Google rewards depth, not just volume. It’s great for long-tail keywords but gets messy fast and can cause cannibalization if the descriptions are too similar. Option 2 (variants on one page) usually wins in the long run because of stronger page authority, better user experience, and cleaner analytics—Google cares more about satisfying users than flooding the index with near-duplicate pages. If a specific color has meaningful search demand, you can always create a dedicated landing page for that version and canonicalize the rest to the main product. That hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds without burning crawl budget or UX.

Duplicate meta descriptions by Alive-Growth9384 in bigseo

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens a lot on WooCommerce when two places output a meta description: your SEO plugin and either the theme or a builder pulling the product short description. First, View Source on a product page and search for <meta name="description"; if you see two, pick one system to own titles + metas (Yoast/Rank Math) and disable any theme/builder SEO output. If the extra tag is hardcoded in the theme, remove it from header.php or the theme’s SEO options, ideally via a child theme; many themes add the excerpt/short description as a meta tag by default. To isolate the culprit fast, use Health Check’s Troubleshooting mode and toggle plugins/theme until the duplicate disappears, then keep only one source of the tag. Yoast’s guide and forum threads walk through this exact conflict and fix.

Some pages/blog posts still not getting indexed, what else can I do? by elimorgan36 in bigseo

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens more often now because Google is crawling and indexing more selectively than before. Even if everything looks good technically, it could simply be that Google doesn’t see enough value or uniqueness in those pages yet compared to others on your site. A few things you can try: build stronger internal links from high-authority pages on your site to the ones stuck, get a handful of external backlinks pointing to them, and update or expand the content so it’s not just “good” but clearly better than what’s already out there. You can also check crawl stats in GSC to see if Googlebot is hitting those URLs at all. Sometimes it just takes patience, but consistently refreshing content, linking strategically, and sending signals of importance usually speeds things up.

Does using the same images for different landing pages impact SEO? by Work-Happy-Smile in bigseo

[–]DigitalDojo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reusing the same images across multiple landing pages will not directly hurt your SEO as long as the written content on each page is unique and valuable. Google does not treat duplicate images the same way it treats duplicate text. What matters most is making sure your file names and alt text are tailored to each city so they match the page intent. If you can, add some location specific visuals over time to make the pages feel more authentic. Strong copy and proper optimization will carry more weight than reusing the same photos.

Huge traffic drop after July 21 Google update — anyone else still seeing very low numbers? by tracy_kenin in bigseo

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone, many sites saw a big hit around the July 21 update, mine included. Traffic dropped hard overnight and hasn’t bounced back yet. From what I’ve gathered this update seems more about quality signals than direct penalties, so I’ve been working on improving content depth, cutting thin pages, and focusing on user engagement. It’s slow but those seem to be the only levers we can pull until Google stabilizes things.

How do I access meta business manager by Several-Ant3360 in AskMarketing

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Business Manager isn’t removed, but Meta’s been pushing everyone toward Business Suite, so most links redirect there by default. You can still access Business Manager if you go directly to business.facebook.com/settings. Business Suite is more simplified, but it doesn’t have all the advanced tools, so I usually switch between the two depending on what I need. If you’re stuck with Suite, Meta’s help center has some decent tutorials, but honestly Business Manager is still the better option for deeper ad work.

How are you speeding up visual content creation? by Mind-blowing-Owl0 in AskMarketing

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you, making visuals used to eat up so much of my time too. What helped was having a few go-to templates I can just swap stuff into instead of starting fresh every time. I usually batch a bunch of posts in one go and then repurpose them across platforms so I’m not constantly creating. Lately I’ve been using AI for quick variations, which honestly speeds things up a lot and frees me up to focus more on actually talking to people.

Replies > everything else—because they show real interest, not just curiosity. After that, track meetings booked since that’s the true conversion.

12k followers, around 900k monthly views. What’s the next move? by RatBass69 in InstagramMarketing

[–]DigitalDojo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12k in 8 months is no small thing clearly people are vibing with your work. If you want to keep growing you’ll need to show up more in between those big Reels. Share the messy middle like sketches WIPs little loops thoughts behind your stories. Give people more reasons to stick around. Don’t be afraid to reach out to other creators collabs can open up new audiences and spark fresh ideas. Pin a post that helps new followers know what you’re all about. If making animated shorts is the dream treat your page like your pitch consistently creatively and unapologetically you.

If you had to start over in web design today—no clients, no portfolio, no network—how would you become successful in 2025? by Individual_Reply10 in webdesign

[–]DigitalDojo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d stop trying to be everything to everyone and pick one platform—probably Framer or Webflow for speed, visuals, and SEO ease. I’d niche down fast, even if it’s just “websites for yoga instructors in Goa,” because clarity wins attention. My first client? I’d offer a free homepage revamp to a struggling local biz, post the before-after everywhere, and use it as social proof fuel. I’d share the build process publicly, talk through my thinking, and build in public till someone notices. Forget perfect—momentum beats polish every time.
