# Your site could be small and mighty

Most small sites get no Google traffic, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Google sends free traffic to small sites like yours all the time.

Use the right words on your site and your best-fit customers will start showing up at your digital doorstep. Really.

## You probably have a small site

### By “small” I mean exactly what you think I mean

### “Small” sites are run by small teams

I primarily work with solopreneurs & companies with small teams.

### “Small” sites don’t have a lot of traffic (yet)

Most small sites get Google traffic only from people looking for them by name.

### “Small” sites don’t have a lot of pages

Most websites I work on have fewer than 100 pages. Some have only 10.

##### Michelle Bourbonniere, PhD
## I have a small site too

I’m Michelle Bourbonniere—SEO, copywriter, editor. My site is small, just like yours.

When I say I specialize in SEO and copy for “small sites,” I mean it. My site has 8 blog posts. Just 8. *But they’re bringing me traffic. And sales.*

Google connects me with people like you all the time. People whose problems I can solve. I get emails from people all around the world who “found me through Google” regularly.

So, while the online giants fight among themselves for insanely competitive keywords like “car insurance”…

… I’m ranking my client’s websites for the keyword *phrases* that their ideal clients (and *only* their ideal clients) type into the Google search box.

So that they can start getting leads and sales “from Google” too.

## Keyword Research: A Simple Do-It-Yourself Method

Michelle Bourbonniere, PhD | 2 Sep, 2020

Writers get stuck thinking that there’s just one right keyword that they need to find and target, and if they don’t get it right, it’s all going to fall apart. Well,…
