A hands-on business visibility retreat for women in business

Friday 2 April – Sunday 4 April 2027
Heartland Meadows Retreat, Queensland
Investment: $1,500 AUD

You’ve built the business. You’ve put in the hours. You know you offer something valuable.

But when someone searches for what you do – on Google, through AI, or online more broadly – are they actually finding you?

And perhaps even more importantly… when they do find you, are they choosing you?

Be the Business They Find … Then Choose is a practical, hands-on weekend retreat created specifically for established women business owners who are tired of watching less experienced, less established or simply more digitally visible businesses become the obvious online choice.

This is not about becoming louder on social media.

It’s not about creating more content for the sake of creating content.

And it certainly isn’t about spending a weekend taking pages of notes, feeling inspired for a few days, and then going home with another enormous list of things you don’t have time to do.

This weekend is about working on your actual business.

Bring your laptop, bring the business you have already built, and together we will start uncovering the digital dots that Google and AI are using to find, understand and recommend businesses like yours.

Then we start connecting them.

Why I invited Gillian to Heartland Meadows

This retreat came about for a very personal reason.

I have had the opportunity to meet Gillian and work with her within my own business, Heartland Meadows, and I have been incredibly impressed by both her knowledge and the way she approaches this work.

Like so many small business owners, I know how frustrating it can be to pour enormous amounts of time, energy and heart into creating something wonderful, only to discover that the online world doesn’t necessarily recognise what you have built.

You can be excellent at what you do and still not appear where people are looking.

You can have years of experience and still be outranked by a newer business.

And increasingly, it isn’t only Google we need to think about. People are now asking AI platforms where to go, who to use, what to buy and which businesses they can trust.

Gillian understands this world extraordinarily well.

More importantly, she has a wonderful ability to take something that can feel technical, complicated and overwhelming and make it practical and understandable.

Having worked with her myself and seen the value of what she offers, I knew this was something I wanted to bring to Heartland Meadows.

So I invited her to create something special for women in small business – not another business conference, but a small, supported retreat where there is actually time to sit down together and do the work.

What will we actually be doing?

Over the weekend, Gillian will help you uncover the digital footprint your business is leaving behind.

You’ll look at the different pieces of information – the “digital dots” – that help search engines and AI platforms understand:

• who you are
• what your business does
• who you help
• where you operate
• what you are known for
• whether the information about your business is clear and consistent
• and whether the online pieces of your business are properly connected

But this is not simply about learning how it works.

You will be working on your own business throughout the weekend.

You’ll identify gaps, strengthen what is already there, make practical changes and begin connecting the pieces that may currently be working against you – or simply not working together at all.

You will not completely rebuild your digital presence in one weekend, and Gillian won’t pretend that you will.

Building strong online visibility is an ongoing process.

What you will do is make a substantial start.

You’ll leave having completed real work, with stronger foundations in place and a much clearer understanding of what needs your attention next.

Your Before & After Digital Dot Map

One of the most valuable things you will take home is your own Before & After Digital Dot Map.

This will give you a visual picture of what you discovered about your business during the weekend, what you changed, what you connected and what still requires attention.

Rather than leaving with a vague sense that you “need to work on your SEO” or “should probably do something about AI”, you will have a far clearer picture of where your business currently stands and what your next priorities should be.

Some simple measurements will also be put in place so you can begin tracking the impact of the work you’ve done.

Who is this retreat for?

This weekend has been designed for women who already have a genuine business, service or professional offering and want more of the right people to find it.

It may be perfect for you if:

• you have been in business for some time but feel strangely invisible online
• you know your experience and expertise should be positioning you more strongly than it currently is
• competitors seem to appear before you in Google searches
• you are wondering what AI means for the future visibility of your business
• you know your website, Google presence and other online information could be working harder for you
• you feel overwhelmed by SEO, Google, websites, AI and all the advice telling you what you “should” be doing
• you want someone knowledgeable beside you while you actually work through it
• you are simply ready for your online presence to better reflect the quality of the business you have already created

You do not need to be technically minded.

You just need to bring your laptop, your business and a willingness to work on it.

And because this is a retreat…

We also believe business owners do some of their best thinking when they have the opportunity to get away from the constant demands of everyday life.

You’ll be staying at beautiful Heartland Meadows Retreat, where Dave and Jenny will take care of you throughout the weekend.

Between sessions there will be time to step away from the laptop, breathe, reset and enjoy the property – including our magnesium pool and far-infrared sauna.

There is something quite different about being able to work intensively on your business while someone else takes care of the meals, the environment and all those little everyday responsibilities.

This is time set aside specifically for you and your business.

A weekend designed around a small group – not a crowd

This retreat has been deliberately designed for a small number of women.

That matters.

Because this isn’t a conference where you sit in a room listening to someone speak and then go home to figure everything out for yourself.

You’ll be working on your business, with Gillian there to help you look at what you’re finding, make sense of it and work out what needs your attention.

Keeping the group small means there is time for questions.

Time to look at individual businesses.

Time to get help when you get stuck.

And time for Gillian to work personally with the women in the room rather than simply teach from the front of it.

Your weekend also includes your accommodation at Heartland Meadows, nourishing vegetarian meals prepared for you, access to our retreat facilities, and something that can be surprisingly difficult to give yourself as a business owner – an entire weekend set aside to work on your business without the usual distractions and responsibilities competing for your attention.

Put all of that together – Gillian’s specialist knowledge, hands-on personalised help, a deliberately small group, accommodation, meals, the retreat experience and dedicated time to actually do the work … and this is far more than a weekend business workshop.

And for this first retreat, your investment is just $1,500 AUD

We have made a very deliberate decision to offer this first Be the Business They Find … Then Choose Retreat at a price that will never be repeated.

Future retreats will be priced differently.

And because keeping the group small is part of what makes this weekend valuable, places are strictly limited.

This will remain a genuinely small-group retreat so Gillian can work personally with the women in the room.

Once those places are gone, they’re gone.

So if you’ve known for a while that your business deserves to be more visible – but you haven’t known where to begin, who to trust or how to find the time to actually do something about it – this may be your opportunity.

Come for the space to think.

Come for the opportunity to finally do the work.

Come for the personalised help when you need it.

And come while this first retreat is available for $1,500 AUD – a price we won’t offer again.

What Our Guests Say

WOOAA! — 15/04/26 — ★★★★★

I recently stayed at Heartland Meadows Retreat – focusing on Gut Health and had a really lovely experience.  Jenny and her husband Dave are genuinely warm and welcoming people, and I felt comfortable from the moment I arrived.  Jenny has a great way of teaching gut health – she makes it easy to understand and even adds a bit of fun to it, which made everything feel really approachable rather than overwhelming.  The accommodation is modest, very clean, comfortable, and well cared for. It suited the experience perfectly – more about slowing down, resetting, and connecting with like-minded people, which ended up being a really special part of the stay.  The food was tasty and surprisingly filling. I’ll admit I went in a little worried I might be hungry but that definitely wasn’t the case. The surroundings are peaceful, and if you think it might be too quiet, you’ll quickly realise how much life and “noise” nature actually brings :)I felt the retreat was well priced for what was offered. The only thing I would have loved is an extra night – it went too quickly!  Lol I’m already counting down the days and look forward to going back and earning my badge as a “repeat offender”

“Amazing, beautiful energetic space to relieve the stress and worries of life and bring back some peace, harmony and much self love.”
