In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m getting honest about how web design affects SEO—and the quiet red flags I keep seeing that are hurting traffic after website redesigns. I’m sharing real examples from behind the scenes where beautiful, high-end websites launched… and then lost rankings, visibility, and inquiries. Not because the business did anything wrong, but because SEO was treated like a checkbox instead of a strategy. We’re talking about what “SEO ready” actually means, why structure matters more than aesthetics, how design decisions impact search visibility, and the questions you have to ask before signing a web design contract. This isn’t about blaming designers or second-guessing past decisions. It’s about giving you clarity, so you can protect your website, your traffic, and the work you’ve already built. If you’ve ever wondered why a new website made things worse—or you’re planning a redesign and want to do it right—this episode is for you.
