Stop trying to appeal to everyone. Instead, create content around a very specific customer, problem, or situation your business is uniquely equipped to solve. The more specific the message, the easier it is for the right people to recognize that your business is for them.

Instead of “We offer landscaping services,” try “Need your lake house property cleaned up before the weekend? We can help.” Specific messaging makes your marketing more memorable—and more useful.
