    Search and Sustain: What Earns the Click? Headline and Subject Line Tips for Modern Marketers

    Search and Sustain is built for marketers trying to figure out what actually earns attention today — in search, in inboxes, on LinkedIn, and now inside AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT, where apparently everyone is suddenly an SEO expert. Hosted by Seth Hastings and Erin Hallstrom, the podcast blends audience marketing, SEO/AEO, editorial strategy, and real-world marketing psychology into conversations that feel less like a lecture and more like the discussions marketers are already having behind the scenes… usually while staring at declining open rates and asking, “Wait, why did that post go viral?” Every episode breaks down the why behind clicks, engagement, visibility, and retention. The goal isn’t just to help you get traffic. It’s to help you earn attention — and keep it. Or, as Seth likes to put it: make your secret sauce sticky. Expect real examples, honest reactions, marketing debates, practical takeaways, and conversations about the strategies shaping how brands get discovered in an increasingly crowded digital world where everyone wants clicks, algorithms change weekly, and somehow we’re all still pretending we understand LinkedIn. No overcomplicated jargon. No recycled “10 tips” content written by someone who’s never opened Omeda or HubSpot. Just smart conversations about search, content, visibility, and the challenge of staying relevant when attention spans are now roughly the length of a TikTok scroll. And because this isn’t supposed to be one of those “talk at you for 20 minutes and disappear” podcasts, we want to hear from you, too. Got a headline you’d click instantly? A subject line you absolutely hated? A LinkedIn post that somehow stopped your scroll? Send it our way. We’ll probably talk about it in a future episode. Follow along, connect with us, argue with us respectfully in the comments, and help shape where Search and Sustain goes next. Because honestly, marketers are figuring this stuff out in real time together.
