The Founding Females Heartbeat February 2024
Founding Females® is helping female founders take their businesses from Blah to Ahhh! Here's how...
Fresh Developments for Founding Females
1. Hands-On SEO Workshop
If you've ever wondered how successful companies grow their website traffic organically, the answer is SEO. There are over 200 components of the Google algorithm that determine search engine result ranking, but you only need to focus on a handful of them to find success.
I'm hearing from female entrepreneurs that a better understanding of SEO would be helpful. And honestly, it's my jam. (I helped a client earn close to 4 million impressions in Google last year alone, which has doubled their revenue and impacted their profitability considerably.)
That's why I've decided to host a hands-on workshop so female founders can learn grow their website traffic.

2. Content Marketing Progress Update
You may remember that I'm doubling down on Founding Females' content marketing strategy this year so we can become increasingly less dependent on social media with the goal to step away in 2025.
Here's how that's going 👇
Shown here are impressions in the Google Search Engine. The upward trend in impressions means my website is increasingly being found in more and more searches.
The pink arrow indicates around the time where I began really focusing on content marketing strategy.
I'm encouraged to see the progress and will share periodic updates in case you're interested in creating an asset out of your website or becoming less reliant on social media, too.
Here are three guides I shared recently to empower female entrepreneurs in this exact subject.
They're full of strategy I've applied to clients' businesses for years to help grow their traffic and revenue via data and analytics consulting.

Hi, I’m Francie!
Nice to meet you. I’m the founder of Founding Females®. Some call me a business sage because I love to empower female entrepreneurs to breathe life into the business dreams God called them to.

I’m also a passionate entrepreneurship hype girl, female leader, public speaker, and community enthusiast.
My MBA and 10 years in a corporate career and in business ownership positioned me as an entrepreneurship educator with forward-thinking strategies for starting and growing successful businesses.
As a community leader, I realized other women could thrive with the right guidance and support. I created the Founding Females® Mastermind Community that provides a safe space for women to build better businesses.
