If you run a small business, you’re sitting on a goldmine of wisdom. Every single day, you answer customer questions, solve problems, and make judgment calls that come from years of experience.
The challenge isn’t whether you have something to say. It’s getting that knowledge out of your head and onto your website where it can build trust and bring in new clients.
Most business owners don’t think of themselves as “content creators.” And let’s be real, after a long day, the last thing you want to do is stare at a blank Word doc. By the time you sit down, the thought you meant to capture is already gone.
That’s because your best content doesn’t show up at a desk. It shows up in the middle of your day. When you’re explaining to a client why you recommend one option over another. When you’re wrapping up a project and reflecting on how you solved a tricky problem. That’s when your expertise is alive and real.
The problem is, it disappears fast if you don’t grab it.
The key isn’t waiting until you “have time to write.” The key is catching those insights while they’re fresh.
Here’s how to make it easy:
None of this has to be perfect. The goal is to get the raw material out of your head before it disappears.
This is why we give our clients an app, so you can capture your expertise in action.
From there, we shape those raw pieces into blogs, case studies, and landing pages that match your brand voice. The result is engaging content that feels authentic, builds trust with your audience, and signals expertise to Google.
Google rewards content that reflects E-E-A-T: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. You’ve already got those things — they’re baked into your daily work. But if your expertise never leaves your head, Google can’t see it. Neither can your potential customers.
When you start capturing and sharing those insights, your day-to-day work becomes long-term authority.
Getting content out of your head and onto your website isn’t about carving out hours to “sit down and write.” It’s about building a simple habit of capturing your expertise in the moment, then letting it get shaped into something polished later.
Your expertise is already there. The sooner you share it, the sooner it starts working for you.
