## Resource

What if a potential client landed on your homepage right now… and still couldn’t tell what you actually do? In this episode of The Travel Advisor Website Show , Justin Hinkle breaks down the “5-Second Homepage Test” — a simple way to find out whether your website is clearly communicating who you help, what you offer, and why someone should book with you. You’ll learn the biggest mistakes travel advisors make on their homepage, how vague messaging quietly drives people away, and the small changes that can make your site dramatically more effective. If your website feels busy, unclear, or just isn’t converting the way you hoped, this episode will help you see it through the eyes of a stranger — and fix what’s not working.
