Many people think: “Advertising sucks.” That's often true. Loud, colorful, discount spam.
But finding new customers is also possible softly: by you Answer questionsThat people really have.
You'll find 10 steps below. For each step, I explain:

  • What it means
  • How do you do it
  • What do you do with it afterwards
  • Examples to copy

1) The “customer dictionary” (15 minutes)

What it means:
You collect the real language of your customers. Don't write beautifully. The way you type it quickly into your mobile phone.

How do you do it:

  • Pick up paper or a blank file. Set a 15-minute timer
  • Write 20 real search phrases On. Briefly. Small Without a Comma
    • Situation: “open today”, “no appointment”, “nearby”
    • Produkt: “T shirt black M”, “tire change”, “cut short”
    • Worry: “price”, “duration”, “warranty”, “return”
    • Urgent: “now”, “until tomorrow”, “quickly”

Exemples:

  • Hairdresser: “Haircut Open Today [City],” “Cut Price Ladies,” “Without Appointment”
  • Workshop: “Tire Change Price,” “Inspection Duration,” “Emergency Service”
  • Café: “Coffee to go fast”, “open today [city]”
  • Online Shop: “Hoodie Black XL Warehouse”, “Delivery Tomorrow”, “Free Returns”

What you do with it afterwards:

  • Page title build from this (e.g. “Tire Change Price — Date Available Today”).
  • Section headings build from it (“Price & Duration”, “Date today? ”, “In stock? “).
  • Knobs in customer language (“Make an appointment today”, “Check warehouse”, “Call now”).
  • Quick questions & answers build from it (“How long does... take? ”, “What does... cost? “).

2) Plain language above: price, time, procedure, contact (10 minutes per page)

What it means:
At the top of every page are the 4 things that everyone wants to know. Not novels.

How do you do it:

  • prize: “from 39€” (in the shop: product price + shipping visible).
  • time: “15—30 min,” “Ordered today — there tomorrow.”
  • Process in 3 steps: “1st quick call • 2nd appointment today/tomorrow • 3rd done.”
  • Knob: “Call now,” “Make an appointment today,” “Add to basket.”
  • Little proof Right next to it: ⭐ 4.8/5 • ⏱️ Recall 30 mins • 📦 In stock.

Example header (to copy):

Tire Change Price — Appointment Available Today
from 59€ • 30—45 min • 1) make a quick call 2) today appointment 3) done
⭐ 4.9/5 • Call back in 30 mins
[Save an appointment today]

What you do with it afterwards:
You build this plain text header On every important page. This is how you understand in 5 seconds: What does it cost? How long does it take? What am I doing now?

3) One Page per search request (not per department)

What it means:
People search for One Objective: Know the price, date today, specific size, fast delivery. In return, gets Every wish has its own page.

How do you do it:

  • Select 3-5 common requests from the dictionary.
  • Create a separate page for each request with this structure:
    1. Page title = search set (made legible)
    2. plain text header (step 2)
    3. 3 short pointsThat help immediately
    4. Real photo
    5. proofs (reviews, mini case)
    6. Quick questions & answers (3-5)
    7. Big button (call, appointment, purchase)

Page ideas:

  • “Haircut open today | Price & Duration”
  • “Tire Change Price | Appointment Today”
  • “Black M T-shirt | delivered tomorrow”
  • “Tax return help | plain language & AB price”

What you do with it afterwards:
You link to these pages visibly from the homepage, navigation and from short posts (“This week: free appointments”).

4) Evidence first: Show that it's real

What it means:
Before someone compares prices, they want to know: Can I trust them?

How do you do it:

  • Valuations: real stars + 1-2 short quotes.
  • Real photo: you/team/store/product, not perfect but true.
  • Mini-Fall: “10:15 in — 11:05 done.” /“Ordered today — there tomorrow.”
  • Service notes (Shop): “Shipped today,” “Free returns.”

Example block:

⭐ 4.8/5 “Quick, fair, friendly.”
🧾 Today: 30 minute tire change, 59€ — 16:00 on the road again.
[Save an appointment today]

What you do with it afterwards:
You Place This Block of Evidence directly under the plain text header On every page.

5) Weekly 10-minute check (without social stress)

What it means:
Small routine, big impact. You stay visible without much time.

How do you do it (every week, timer on):

  • 1 photo Post (today's offer/product/team, real).
  • 1 set Post: “Quick appointment this week/ delivered tomorrow.”
  • 1 Check performance: Name clear? AB price visible?
  • Get 1 review: Ask regular customer briefly.

12 ideas for rotating:
“Appointment available today (2-4 p.m.) — Give us a quick call.”
“New: Hoodie black XL — in stock, shipping today.”
“Short cut — 30-45 minutes, from 39€.”
“Tire change — appointment today, 59€.”
... (just repeat)

What you do with it afterwards:
The posts always link to The Right Page (from step 3). In this way, every small impulse leads to a clear answer page.

6) Recognition: Sign, sentence, ritual

What it means:
Small, consistent things stay in your mind.

How do you do it:

  • token: e.g. pink cups, yellow tools, special packaging
  • Short sentence: “Appointment available today.”, “Ready in 2 coffees.”, “There tomorrow.”
  • ritual: “Monday Mini Extra,” “Friday Wheel of Fortune,” “Thank you card in package.”

What you do with it afterwards:
Sign, sentence and ritual The same everywhere Show: at the door, on the website, in emails, in the package, in the profile picture. It makes you look familiar.

7) Write how to search — Not how you advertise

What it means:
Your words sound like your customer's search, not an advertising brochure.

How do you do it:

  • Page title In customer language:
    • “Haircut Open Today [City] — Price & Duration”
    • “Tire Change Price — Appointment Available Today”
    • “T shirt black M — delivered tomorrow”
  • Short paragraphs, clear subheadings: prize, Perpetuity, Expiry, proofs, Questions & answers, Call/buy.
  • Knobs with clear action: “Call Now,” “Make an Appointment Today,” “Add to Shopping Cart.”
  • Image captions (short, honest): “black t-shirt M — in stock.”

Before/after (workshop example):

  • Before: “Our premium service offers tailor-made solutions.”
  • After: “Tire changes possible today. 30-45 minutes from 59€. Give us a quick call — appointment today.”

What you do with it afterwards:
Check every text: Does that sound like a real search? If not: abbreviate, simplify, plain language.

8) Request chain without gaps (This is where you lose the most)

What it means:
Many Jump upon The click off: no call button, too long form, no one answers.

How do you do it:

  • Large call button Clearly visible on every page.
  • Short form: only 3 fields (name, contact, request).
  • Instant response After sending: “Thank you! We'll get back to you today.”
  • SMS template (copy-paste):

“Hi [name], thanks for your request. Is a recall appropriate today between 4 and 6 PM? — [Your name]”

  • Notes next to the phone: Who will call back when?
  • If a call is missed: Call back or send an SMS within 30 minutes.

What you do with it afterwards:
Check once a week: Do the button, form, recall work? If so → stay tuned. If no → repair immediately.

9) On site & in a package: visible, not embarrassing

What it means:
You can also draw friendly attention to yourself offline.

How do you do it:

  • Door sign: “Quick date today/ open today.”
  • Little goodie With a short sentence. Small logo.
  • online store: Thank you card + “Tomorrow there” sticker

  • Day 3: Collect evidence + make it visible (reviews, photo, mini-case).
