“Be more specific.” It’s one of the most common pieces of website advice, and one of the least helpful when you’re trying to apply it to your own business. Because while the idea makes sense in theory, it’s much harder to see what strong positioning actually looks like in practice. How specific is too specific?…
You know your website feels slightly generic. Not bad. Not unprofessional. Just… difficult to distinguish. You’ve probably tweaked the wording more than once. Adjusted headlines. Added services. Rewritten sections you weren’t quite happy with. And yet, it still doesn’t feel as clear or compelling as it should. This is where many service-based businesses get stuck…

Most business owners assume people make decisions gradually. That trust builds over time. That potential clients carefully explore a website before forming an opinion. That if the work is strong enough, people will eventually recognise that. But behavioural psychology suggests something quite different. Human beings form impressions remarkably quickly. Often within seconds. This process is…
You can have an excellent reputation, and still have a website that quietly undermines it.
