How Might We Design Podcast Interviews For Seo Success?

That was the central question we inquired into was around whether it is feasible to use SEO based preparation and research to create better and more in-depth podcast interviews.

Content Briefs and Content Grading / Optimization Special Feature: Ryo Chiba from “Topic”

The Co-Founder of the content optimization tool Topic, Ryo Chiba, was our special co-host. He personally walked us through a demo of his brilliant tool. This tool helps content creators design and produce quality content that uses are looking for, using content briefs. Topic enables a step by step approach to identify the content that is most relevant to readers or listeners. It facilitates a content planning process based on comprehensive coverage of a subject, including the most relevant questions being asked on-line.

Topic “Content Briefs” suggest how to cover a topic in a way that is likely to appear near the top of the search results. The built in “Content Grading” tool evaluates your draft show notes or blog articles against these briefs for instant feedback and suggestions.

We are incorporating the regular use of “Topic” as a content planning and content grading tool in all our podcasting processes.

We recently posted our own case study on how we increased Website Traffic by 351% with this method. Just google “podcast website traffic” – or click here for the case study.
