Podcast Growth and SEO Strategies for Entrepreneurs: Podcasting Problem Solver
Your podcast isn't growing because you're solving the wrong problem.
You're posting consistently, sharing clips, showing up everywhere — and your downloads are still stuck. Your show isn't generating leads because you're chasing bad advice instead of investigating the real issue blocking your podcast's growth.
This show does the deep work you haven't had time to do on your own podcast strategy.
We'll cover questions like:
Why isn't my podcast growing even though I'm doing everything "right"?
How does podcast SEO actually work on Apple Podcasts and Spotify?
Which podcast categories should I choose to improve discoverability?
How do I optimize for search without my podcast sounding robotic?
How can I batch record and save 3-5 hours per episode?
What's keeping my podcast from converting listeners into leads?
How do I create content based on what people are actually searching for?
Should I use keywords or my brand name in my podcast title?
How do I know if my podcast strategy is actually working?
Can I grow my podcast without being all over social media?
What metrics should I track besides download numbers?
