Most of us didn’t start our businesses dreaming about keywords and algorithms — we just wanted to help people and share what we love. But at some point, we realize: if people can’t find us, we can’t help them.

In this episode, we’re talking about when SEO actually matters, when it’s okay to follow your gut instead, and how to make those choices without losing your voice or your sanity.

Listen in to hear:

• What SEO really means (in normal-people language)
• When it’s worth the time and energy — and when it’s not
• How we’ve handled SEO in our own blogs, websites, and podcast titles
• The risks of ignoring search completely (and how to balance strategy with soul)
