And clarity isn’t just about simplifying your message. It’s about using their words, not yours.
I see this all the time. Smart business owners with real expertise writing posts that go nowhere, and the issue isn’t what they know, but the language they’re using to share it.
You write in the words you use inside your business. The terms your team throws around. The phrases that feel professional and precise. But your client doesn’t live in your business. They live in their own world, with their own words for what they need, and when your content speaks your language instead of theirs, they scroll past.
A pest control client of mine doesn’t search “integrated pest management.” They search “how do I get rid of mice in my attic.” Same problem, completely different words. If your content only speaks the first language, you’re invisible to the people typing the second one.
Clarity isn’t about dumbing things down. It’s about translating. Knowing what your client actually calls the thing they’re trying to solve, and meeting them in that exact spot.
If this is hitting, you already know which posts of yours need a second look.
