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.

Questions this show answers:

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?

You've been showing up as a podcast guest, delivering great interviews, and walking away with almost nothing to show for it. This episode is for podcasters who are done spinning their wheels on guesting and want to know what actually has to be in place before it works.

We're getting into why podcast guesting strategy fails without a solid show foundation, what three things have to be true about your podcast before guesting is worth your time, and how two podcasters with the same guest appearance got wildly different results and why.

If you've been guesting and not converting, this one will show you exactly where the gap is.
