Customer Reviews
They Talk Like Real Humans And Give Actionable Advice
I'm just getting into the SEO game and Brett and Nate are great because they not only cover SEO and the constant changes it undergoes, but they discuss broader marketing concepts and how SEO overlaps with these concepts. If you want to stay updated on the SEO world or want to learn how to think like professional marketers that focus on SEO (but not solely on SEO) this is a bomber podcast. Thanks Brett and Nate.
Perfect for Intermediate-Advanced SEOs
Great podcast for working SEOs that want to hear news and opinion from real, in-the-trenches Co-hosts.
Both of these guys are super smart, and they don't just agree with each other, they have a healthy argument.
Only nitpick - would like to see Brett not talk over Nate sometimes, and audio quality could be a bit better, but overall great.
Highly Recommend
I work in SEO and recently started listening to Bamboo Chalupa during my commute. I’ve been very impressed with the quality of the content delivered and find it to be a worthwhile use of my time & a refreshing alternative to all the click-bait SEO content that is far too common in our industry. Brett and Nate are great at breaking down complex topics to make them easy-to-digest, always supporting their thoughts with real world examples.
They address a wide variety of topics and offer a unique perspective. By the end of each podcast, I usually have at least one takeaway that I can apply to my job, so thank you for that! I have recommended this podcast to the other digital marketers I work with, from beginners to experienced SEOs.
