Episode 23: Our Best SEO Content Writing Strategies

In this episode: We share the SEO content writing plays that worked for us, without pricey tools. You’ll hear how we choose keywords we can win, structure titles/descriptions, tune site speed, and back it all up with clean distribution and tracking.

You’ll learn

• A simple keyword vetting workflow (autocomplete + Trends + difficulty/competition sanity checks)

• How we use Yoast effectively (titles, meta, headings, image alt, readability)

• Why “good volume” isn’t enough, domain authority and competition matter

• Free/low-cost options when you can’t buy Ahrefs/SEMrush (Ubersuggest, manual checks)

• Site speed & sitemap basics that impact discoverability

• How to mirror your article keywords in social posts to reinforce discovery
