Listen "How to Simplify Your SEO Approach for Real Results — Melanie Gorman | Ep 72"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I sat down with the amazing Melanie Gorman, an SEO strategist with a massive heart and over 20 years’ experience. We dove into the reality behind online visibility—why posting everywhere isn’t enough, and how common sense SEO really creates trust and connection. Melanie explained how defining clear content pillars and clusters can guide your content strategy, and how AI is both a game changer and a tool you need to use wisely. If you’ve ever felt lost about what to post, how to stand out, or wondered if robots are taking over marketing—this is for you! My hope is you walk away with practical ideas and renewed belief that real, human-centered content will always matter. Remember: be consistent, be yourself, and let data lead the way.
