In this episode of Trades Secrets, we take a fresh look at one of the most overlooked—but most visited—pages on your website: the About Us page. Inspired by insights from Marcus Sheridan and supported by real data from their own client base, the hosts break down how to turn a stale About page into a powerful trust-building, conversion-driving asset.

You’ll learn why a “me, me, me” approach falls flat—and how to write an About page that actually addresses what your customer cares about most: their problem, and how you solve it better than the rest.

“You want to use your About Us page to talk about how you're solving a pain point. You understand their problem. And this is what makes your company unique and the way that you solve the problem.” – Episode Highlight

Episode Highlights:

  • The surprising 66% increase in About Us page visits (based on real contractor data)
  • What people are really looking for when they click on your About page
  • How to use your About page to show you understand the client’s pain points
  • The difference between bragging and building trust
  • How to make your unique selling proposition crystal clear
  • The importance of outcome-based language: “Here’s what you get when you choose us”
