    5 Podcast SEO Fixes for Discoverability w/ Jennifer Dent Brown - Live Coaching

    📲 Have a question or win to share? Text me! You could hear it on the podcast. If your podcast feels like it’s working against you instead of growing with you, this episode is going to land. In this live coaching session, I walk Jennifer Dent Brown (host of Stop Dieting Forever) through the exact shifts that make a show more discoverable and easier to run. We refine her positioning, strengthen her podcast SEO, update her keywords, and simplify her podcast workflow, so her content becomes easier for the right listeners to find. You'll hear the small strategy tweaks Jennifer made in real time... the same changes that can unlock growth for your own show without adding more to your plate. Perfect if you want clearer messaging, stronger podcast SEO, and a podcast workflow that supports your business instead of draining your energy. **SEO Note: I mention ChatGPT can pull keyword ideas in this episode, but don't rely on AI for SEO data.
