Media Bio
As an SEO strategist for female service providers and female-founded small businesses, Laura Jawad helps entrepreneurs attract more clients through the power of their websites.
Laura built two successful businesses through SEO, demonstrating first-hand the transformative power of well-executed SEO in competitive markets. Armed with a PhD and a deep passion for helping women-owned businesses thrive, Laura is the go-to expert if you’re ready to make your website the hardest-working member of your marketing team.
When Laura isn’t creating SEO magic, you can find her working out in her basement gym, crocheting amigurumi or reading books to her kiddos. Connect with her on her website at www.laurajawadmarketing.com or on LinkedIn.
Laura Jawad shared her SEO expertise on my podcast. She’s able to take a complex topic and simplify it down into easy steps to inspire action. Laura is easy to talk with, showed up like a professional and is easily one of the Top 5 guests I’ve had on my show. We had a conversation and not an interview where I did all the asking. I can see having her back again to share more with my audience.

- With Amanda Burg
- Aired on February 5, 2025
- Content Creation (Blogging), Website Foundations
I talk about how I built two service businesses on SEO, why multi‑passionate folks often need more than one website, and how I actually use blogging and AI day to day without tanking search or sounding like a robot (yes, it takes editing).

- Aired on May 25, 2025
- Local SEO & Brick-and-Mortar Strategies, Website Foundations

- With Paulina Cosette
- Aired on June 5, 2025

- With Noelle Van
- Aired on June 5, 2025

I talk about leaving oceanography for birth work, why I built my doula and training businesses with SEO instead of Instagram, and how I now help other women diversify their marketing so their websites and Google presence actually earn their keep (quietly).
- Passionate And Prosperous
- With Stacey Brass-Russell
- Aired on July 22, 2025
