Own Your Presence: a guide for online visibility
A step-by-step guide to building lasting authority online
Welcome.
If you've landed here, you're probably tired of one-size-fits-all advice about "being visible." Maybe you're even a little allergic to personal branding jargon, quick-fix SEO hacks, and endless social media hamster wheels.
What you actually want:
To be recognized for your expertise: by clients, partners, peers, and, yes, Google.
To attract the right opportunities, not just random attention.
To build a digital footprint that's durable, credible, and under your control.
This series, Own Your Presence, was created for founders, consultants, and creatives who want to be seen for what matters and be booked for what they do best.
What is Own Your Presence?
It's a practical, real-world roadmap for building online authority in 2025 and beyond, centered around one question:
How can you design a digital presence that brings you clients, credibility, and genuine recognition without burning out, or getting lost in the algorithm?
You'll learn how to:
Use platforms like Substack and LinkedIn to anchor your expertise and build trust.
Build a brand and message that Google (and real people) instantly recognize.
Create content that positions you as the go-to (not just another voice in the feed).
Connect your platforms and profiles so they reinforce your authority everywhere.
Monitor, improve, and own your digital reputation over time.
How this series works
Over the next few weeks, I'll be releasing step-by-step posts covering each aspect of building lasting online authority.
Each post builds on the last, but you can also jump to whatever you need most right now.
While I'm writing this series, I'm also preparing something special behind the scenes for readers who want to go deeper—stay tuned.
Who it's for
If you're a founder, consultant, creative, or small business owner who wants:
More inbound client leads (from the right people)
To become the "reference" in your niche
To be cited, quoted, and trusted by both humans and Google
Authority that sticks, not just a spike of fleeting attention
…then this is for you.
Why "Presence" matters more than ever
In 2025, clients and partners don't just Google you: they read your newsletter, check your LinkedIn, and scan for credible third-party mentions. Substack, especially, has become a magnet for journalists, curators, and new clients searching for original voices and expert insights.
Building authority online isn't about chasing viral hacks or algorithm changes. It's about showing up with clarity, building real relationships, and creating proof you actually know what you're doing, all in one connected ecosystem you control.
Own Your Presence is an ongoing guide to building authentic visibility and authority online. Find every chapter in the series here.
