Delegate + Automate: The Best Time Management Tips for Business Owners

Time is your most limited resource when you're a business owner. It's easy to fall into the trap of doing everything yourself: marketing, analysis, inventory, ordering, communications — the list goes on and on. However, by delegating, automating, and optimizing your website to work more efficiently, you can manage your time more effectively, reducing overwhelm.

We help small businesses, nonprofits, and startups streamline their digital workflows so they can spend more time growing. Here are some tips:

Outsource Tech So You Can Focus on Strategy

If you feel you're spending too much time updating your website, troubleshooting plugins, or figuring out how to fix a mobile formatting issue, reach out to someone for help. As a business owner, you shouldn't be bogged down by technology.

Save time by hiring a web partner to manage your website. Whether it's a complete redesign, ongoing support, or building a fast, conversion-focused site, the right partner can free up your time and give you peace of mind. 

Automate Repetitive Digital Tasks

Keeping up with your social media presence and digital marketing goals, manually sending client follow-ups, or handling form responses one by one can be a huge time suck.

Instead, use automation tools to handle repetitive tasks. Connect your website forms to your CRM, schedule emails using tools like Mailchimp or ConvertKit, and create automated responses for common inquiries. Need help? We can get you set up the right way.

Create Website Templates to Save Time Later

You don't need to reinvent the wheel every time you post a blog or create a new landing page. Instead, build and use page templates for blogs, services, and campaign pages. We help clients set these up inside platforms like Webflow or WordPress, so updates are quick and on-brand.

Prioritize High-Impact Pages for Content Updates

If you're trying to update every page on your site at once, it might seem that nothing is getting done. Focus your efforts where they count. Refresh your homepage, services page, and contact page first, as these are the top entry points for most visitors. Not sure what's outdated? Ask us for a quick website audit.

Create and Use a Content Calendar

Scrambling to post something on Instagram or your blog at the last minute won't do you any favors. Users can tell when content isn't well thought out and authentic.

Instead, plan content a month or more in advance. Map out key dates, campaigns, and blog 

ideas using a simple spreadsheet or your favorite project management tool. Then, block out time every week to manage your content. Write and schedule blog posts, create visuals, and schedule social media, etc. There is peace of mind when you see your scheduled posts go out while you're working on something else.

Get Help Writing Website Copy

You can easily spend days tweaking headlines, wondering if your About Page sounds right, and hoping your website is getting the right message across to the right audience. 

Take this stress off your plate by working with AI, a writer, or a digital strategist who can translate your business goals into clear, engaging copy that speaks to your ideal client or customer. We help clients refine their messaging so it's effective, on-brand, and converts.

Set and Forget With Performance Monitoring

Don't get caught checking Google Analytics every few days and doing nothing with the data. Make it work for you by setting up dashboards that track key performance metrics, like bounce rate, conversions, and traffic sources, so you can make quick, informed decisions. Better yet, let us monitor it for you and flag areas for improvement.

Streamline Client Onboarding With Forms and Automation

Stop manually sending intake emails and tracking down client info. Instead, build a streamlined onboarding flow right into your website. Smart forms + automation = less back and forth. Our team can help you integrate scheduling, questionnaires, payment gateways, and CRMs all in one place.

Batch Your Website Tasks

If you're constantly switching between updating your site, writing emails, and responding to customers throughout the day, there's a better way. Try blocking time once per week or month, whatever works for you, to batch your website updates (much like batching your social media and digital marketing). Schedule that time in your calendar and use it to upload photos, update testimonials, or publish blog posts. Grouping tasks together is way more efficient.
