By the time someone fills out your inquiry form, they've already made a decision about you. Here are the five things that shaped it — most of which you've probably never thought to optimize. 1. How Long Your Website Takes to Load Clients won't wait. If your site takes more than three seconds to load, more than half will leave before seeing a single image. This is especially true for mobile users browsing venues and vendors during their lunch break. 2. Your Instagram Bio You h

I get asked this a lot: "What exactly do you look at in a brand audit?" The short answer is everything. The longer answer is below.
