About the Founder
Kate Maclaurin — Founder of Clicks Count
Kate Maclaurin is a digital strategist, designer, and the driving force behind Clicks Count. With over 15 years of experience in web design, content, and online marketing, Kate has built her career around one core belief:
“If your site can’t be found, it won’t convert. Google comes first—then your customers.”
Kate has flipped the traditional web design process on its head. While most designers start with how a site looks, she starts with how it performs—specifically, how it performs for Google. Her strategy is simple and effective: if your website isn’t built to be crawlable, indexable, and SEO-optimized from the ground up, your customers won’t even get the chance to see it.
That’s why every Clicks Count website is crafted with a “Google-first” mindset—technically sound, SEO-ready, and fast-loading. Only once the foundation is right does she turn to design, UX, and content that engages human visitors and turns clicks into conversions.
Kate’s background in corporate communications gives her an edge in understanding business goals and customer psychology. Whether she’s building for a startup, nonprofit, or established brand, she brings clarity, structure, and a strategic eye to every project.
She’s also the co-founder of SpeedCounts.io, a high-performance WordPress hosting platform built specifically to support fast, SEO-friendly sites.
At Clicks Count, Kate leads with empathy, insight, and a no-nonsense approach to digital growth. If you're looking for a website that actually delivers results—not just pixels—Kate is the expert you want.
“Clicks count. But only if they can find you first.”
