Podcast SEO and Strategy for Entrepreneurs Ready to Book Clients: Podcasting Problem Solver
You've shown up every week, shared every episode, and done everything the podcasting playbooks told you to do. Your downloads are fine. The right listeners can't find you, and the ones who do aren't converting.
Podcasting Problem Solver goes underneath that.

What is my podcast supposed to do for my business?
Why isn't my podcast growing even though I'm doing everything "right"?
How do I figure out what's missing with my podcast?
How does podcast SEO work in the podcast players?
Which podcast categories should I choose to improve discoverability?
How do I optimize for search without my podcast sounding robotic?
Should I use keywords or my brand name in my podcast title?
Why aren't my podcast listeners booking discovery calls?
How do I connect podcast episodes to my offers without sounding sales-y?
Can I fix a podcast that's been running for years without starting over?
Can I grow my podcast without being all over social media?
What metrics should I track besides download numbers?
Is my podcast worth continuing?
Leah Bryant is a former fraud investigator who now applies that pattern recognition to podcast strategy.

The show has no defined function in the business, and the standard advice never touches that.

The show mixes solo strategy episodes with live coaching breakdowns and guest conversations. All of it is built for entrepreneurs and small business owners whose podcasts need to pull their weight.
