Marketing for Entrepreneurs | SEO for small business
Are you a small business owner who's tired of trying to do everything when it comes to SEO and online marketing, and left wondering what's working? Do you need to be more visible on Google and ChatGPT, but you're not quite sure how to do SEO for your business, let alone answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO)? Are you trying to DIY your SEO and marketing and find yourself wondering what's working and what's simply a waste of time?
Do you fear stopping a marketing channel because you're not sure if it's the one that's driving your revenue? Would you like someone to help you make it make sense and tell you what to focus on to grow and scale your business? Do you want SEO tips and AI SEO strategies you can use to grow your online visibility?
This podcast is for small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to use simple, proven SEO and marketing strategies to grow their business without relying on social media or paid ads.
Each week, I'll show you how to do SEO for your small business and understand the results, so you can focus on what's working and let go of strategies that are just wasting your time and money. Join me and learn how to become a confident marketer.
I'll teach you about SEO for small businesses (for Google, ChatGPT, and AI search tools), content marketing, blogging, sales funnels, and your marketing metrics so you can build a business you love.
I don't believe in hustle culture or burnout. I believe in taking action, getting things done, and making decisions based on the results. I'll show you how to do the same thing.
If you want to build a profitable business with SEO, this is the podcast for you.
I'm Rachel Lindteigen, an MBA, a 25-year marketing pro, and a former agency exec who's led SEO and content marketing strategies for Fortune 500 companies. I worked for an NYC-based ad agency and oversaw teams in 3 states. My team was responsible for millions in client revenue from SEO and content channels. Now I teach the same strategies to small business owners.
This is not a "here's what worked for me once" podcast. It's a practical, professional guide to SEO and marketing that works for real businesses like yours, from an actual SEO expert with over 25 years of experience, not just someone who figured it out on their own.
