That Tuesday my client asked me to 'ask anything' and I took it way too literally
I was doing a website review for a bakery in Austin, and the owner said 'just ask anything you need to know.' I spent 45 minutes asking about their grandma's sourdough starter, the local flour mill, and if the cinnamon rolls had a secret ingredient. We never got to the SEO part. Has a simple phrase ever sent you completely off track with a client?

Honestly, I see that as a win... that's how you find the real story for a brand. Those details about the starter and the local flour are the good stuff, the things that make people actually care about that bakery. You can fix SEO later, but you can't fake that kind of real heart. My best work always starts when a client says something open like that and I just dive into the weird specifics.

But can't you fix the SEO and still have the real heart? It's not like one kills the other.
