Marketing for Entrepreneurs | SEO for small business

by Rachel Lindteigen | Small Business SEO Coach

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.

Rachel knows her stuff! But what I love about her is how she breaks SEO down in simple terms. I found it overwhelming but she makes it accessible so you can take small steps forward.

Efficient, packed with actionable content. I love that she never wastes my time with idle chatter.

Rachel’s show and SEO content are awesome. Very easy to follow and gives you great tools to use. Nothing but value every time I listen. This has helped me grow my SEO knowledge in a huge way.

CPG 476 · Sep 2024

I wanted to love this podcast, and every time I’ve listened to Rachel I am on the edge of my seat for her to tell me something concrete that I can use. Except, it never happens. She is probably a wealth of knowledge, but she is also a strategic gatekeeper, and won’t share even the smallest pieces of actionable information with her audience for free. :( It’s generic. And her tips are things like - “tip 1 - don’t do this yourself. go find someone who is qualified to help you with SEO.” So, her advice leads you right back to buying her program as the solution before you even know if you like and trust her yet. The first time I noticed this was when she was on the Amy Porterfield show, and Amy tried to nail her down to a specific answer about what people should do to improve their SEO right away, and she danced around it in a generic way that eventually lead back to tip similar to the above (find the right person to help with your SEO). Frustrating. She isn’t a generous open book like so many others are, like Amy for example, who is at the top of her game and gives all the goods away for free, in detail. (And I’ve still purchased her offers because I always want more!) Bottom line, it’s hard to get to the point of falling in love with Rachel and deeply believing she has the answers I need when she hasn’t been generous enough to show me anything yet, you know? I will say, I haven’t listened to more than 3-4 episodes, but I think that’s more than enough to know if I’ve learned something new that I can apply and see a small result.
