Hi, I'm Vicky Sidler
A StoryBrand Certified Guide & Fellow Entrepreneur
And believe me, I GET IT! I understand the frustration of marketing that just doesn't seem to work. I know what it's like to feel lost in a sea of tactics and strategies. When I started my agency in 2020, I was just a small fish in a big pond, trying to stand out from whale-sized competitors. (I’m also a qualified scuba diver, in case you’re wondering about these metaphors…)
Since then, we developed a proven, data-driven marketing strategy (powered by StoryBrand) that has helped both us and countless clients get noticed, attract the right customers, grow their ideal client base, and make an impact with their marketing and their businesses.
We boast a proven track record of transforming marketing messages to resonate with target audiences.
As StoryBrand Certified Guides, we apply the renowned StoryBrand Framework to everything we do with impressive results!
And as a Duct Tape Certified Agency, we’ve gone through an extensive certification process to offer you a holistic, systematic approach to marketing – a system that truly works.
You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we'll take your marketing from confusing to crystal clear. Let's make your brand's message stand out and connect with the people who matter most to your business.
I used the StoryBrand ‘one-liner’ yesterday for the first time to create some awareness on my various social media platforms. I have never had so many likes and interest on one of my coaching ads before. I am booking some consultations as we speak. You guys are amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are our answers to the most frequently asked questions about marketing and lead generation.
What is StoryBrand?
StoryBrand is a marketing framework developed by Donald Miller that helps businesses clarify their message so it resonates with their target audience. It centres around creating a story for your brand where the customer is the hero, and your business is the guide that helps them overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.
How can StoryBrand help my business?
Implementing the StoryBrand framework can transform how you communicate with your customers. It simplifies your message, making it easier for customers to understand how your products or services can solve their problems. This clear communication helps increase engagement, conversions, and customer loyalty, ultimately driving growth for your business.
What does the process of creating a StoryBrand BrandScript involve?
Creating a StoryBrand BrandScript involves identifying key elements of your brand's story, such as defining your customer's problem, positioning your brand as the guide with a solution, and outlining a plan that leads the customer to success. This script serves as the foundation for all your marketing materials, ensuring a consistent and compelling message across all platforms.
How do I choose the right StoryBrand guide for my business?
Be sure to choose a StoryBrand guide who prioritizes strategy over tactics. A strategic-first approach ensures your marketing is built on a solid foundation, preventing wasted time and resources in the long run. Look for a guide focused on aligning your core message and goals before diving into marketing actions, ensuring your efforts attract the right leads and drive meaningful results.

Google Indexes Instagram: What It Means for SEO
Google Indexes Instagram: What It Means for SEO
By Vicky Sidler | Published 19 July 2025 at 12:00 GMT
You know that Instagram video you posted while drunk at a beach party in 2015?
Congratulations. It now might now show up on Google when someone searches your name.
Yes, seriously.
According to a recent Forbes report, Instagram has begun allowing its public content to be indexed by search engines like Google. For small business owners, that’s either terrifying or terrific—depending on how cringe your captions were in 2019.
TL;DR
Public Instagram posts and profiles can now appear in Google search results
SEO isn’t just for blogs anymore—Instagram is now part of the mix
This update benefits visibility, especially if you don’t have a website
You need to start writing captions like they matter (because they now do)
Update your old posts—or hide the ones you wish you hadn’t written
Need help getting your message right? Grab my free 5-Minute Marketing Fix. It’s a quick and easy tool to help you get clear and build trust fast.
Why Google Indexing Instagram Is a Big Deal:
Previously, Instagram content was mostly walled off from search engines. If someone Googled your business, they might find your website or LinkedIn page—but not your fire “How it started vs. how it’s going” reel from last summer.
Now? That reel might show up in search results alongside your homepage. For small businesses without a full website, this is a huge visibility win.
Let’s be blunt: most small businesses are posting more often to Instagram than updating their websites. So if that content can now work double-time—feeding both your followers and your SEO—why wouldn’t you optimize it?
What You Should Do (Besides Panic-Delete):
Here’s how to make sure your posts help, not hurt, your search visibility:
1. Go public:
This only works if your account is public and professional. If you’re still using a private account where you once tagged your ex in memes… maybe start fresh.
2. Treat captions like blog intros:
Think: “What would my customer search for?” Then write like a human, not a keyword robot. For example:
Instead of: “So excited about our new workshop! 😍”
Try: “Free business planning workshop for Cape Town entrepreneurs this Saturday.”
Google understands that. Your emoji salad? Not so much.
3. Think about what you say out loud:
Here’s something I’ve personally noticed: Google is picking up keywords not just from text in captions—but from the audio in Reels too. Even though Instagram doesn’t let you upload transcripts like YouTube, it’s clear the spoken content is being indexed.
That means what you say in your videos might show up in search results.
So speak clearly. Use real words your customers are searching for—not just jargon or filler. Think of it as a casual podcast episode with SEO benefits.
4. Update your bio:
Think of your bio as your homepage headline. Keep it sharp and keyword-friendly:
Bad: “Just vibing and doing my thing.”
Better: “Pretoria-based copywriter helping coaches grow with StoryBrand messaging.”
What This Means Long-Term:
The line between social media and search engines isn’t blurry anymore—it’s gone.
A Sprout Social study found that 41% of Gen Z already use social media as their main search engine. Only 31% still use Google.
So if you’re not showing up where your customers are looking, you’re invisible. This update gives you a backdoor onto page one—without needing to blog weekly or hire an SEO firm.
And yes, this means every Instagram post is now a potential micro-landing page.
What If You Don’t Want This?
You can opt out in your settings. But for most businesses, opting out means opting out of being found.
Unless you’ve got a steady stream of clients coming from somewhere else (referrals, networking, a unicorn’s rainbow, etc.), visibility is the name of the game. And if Google’s offering you free exposure via Instagram, take it.
Just clean up your captions first.
Bonus Tip from a Marketing Strategist Who’s Seen Too Many Vague Bios:
One of the fastest ways to make your Instagram work harder is to get your one-liner right. Not “Helping humans live their best lives through empowerment and vibes.”
Not “We exist to shift paradigms and inspire the soul.”
I mean clear, customer-focused messaging that explains what you do in under 10 seconds.
Start by downloading the 5-Minute Marketing Fix. It’s a free tool that helps you write a one-liner that works across Instagram bios, Google results, and your next pitch.

Because visibility without clarity is just noise.
