When tragedy strikes, most business owners are forced to pause - or even close their doors. But for Janet Camilleri, founder of Front Page SEO, the systems she had built became the lifeline that kept her business running in the midst of grief.

In this powerful conversation, Janet shares her journey from high school teacher to SEO strategist, and how she’s built a business model that’s both sustainable and adaptable. We talk about the moment she lost a key team member to terminal illness, the role her documented processes played in survival, and why diversifying her offerings became essential for resilience.
