Hello. Hello and welcome back to The Basics with B! It has been a minute since I have talked with you one on one, but I was just asked a really, really great question and I felt like the best way to respond was with this podcast. In the last year, I've realized that I love talking things out.So I'm going to answer these questions and then get into a deeper tour of the SEO sprint. So the questions, one was, what do you hope people will gain by joining the SEO sprint with you? And the other was, what do you want business owners to achieve?Through the SEO sprint, I want to show business owners how doable and intuitive SEO can be and also have fun. I want you to boost your confidence about getting more visible online using SEO. I want to be a resource personally for whatever SEO questions or needs you have.And actually I'll be creating and or selecting resources to share with everyone so you can actually go do SEO while we're together and beyond.As far as what I want you to be able to do, I want you to learn to do keyword research on your own. That is something that trips up so many of us, and frankly, it tripped me up in the beginning, too. I want you to know what quote unquote good keywords are and how to use them on your website and everywhere else online, like in podcasts and on Instagram profiles. And I want you to understand how to use SEO to get more clients to find you online.Because if we're not doing it for that, I don't know what we're doing it for, haha!Since I first decided to walk down this SEO path, I've discovered that SEO sounds complicated, complicated as crap, but it's actually quite intuitive.At its core, SEO is really just intention, investigation and implementation.Intention meaning what's my vision? Who do I help and how? What do I want to be known for?Investigation being how do people describe what I do? What are they typing into Google in the first place?Implementation being where can I add things like links or keywords so people can easily find me?With SEO, you decide what you want to be found for. You do a little research to figure out what people are typing into Google to try to find that thing, and you start adding those words or phrases to your website, social media profiles, your podcast, etc.If you're liking what you're hearing, keep listening. I'm going to share more about what the SEO sprint looks like!The SEO sprint is my four week group mentorship experience that I am opening. We are starting it on September 11, this Wednesday. It's very soon!I created it for anyone who wants to stop avoiding SEO and really get confident with it. This could be entrepreneurs, business besties, or even team members or assistants.What you can expect is that we are going to be working through the three big things that I like to talk about with SEO, which are creating content, finding and fixing errors, and getting backlinks.And you don't have to know what any of that means in order to join us!The process we're going to work through is that each week I'm going to be diving into a topic on a live call with you. And here's the weekly breakdown.We are talking keywords on week one, content on week two, link building on week three, finding and fixing errors on week four. And because I can't help myself, we're going to have a week five. And that's going to be all about optimization.The bulk of the time on those calls is for you. For you to ask your questions. You can either do that live on the call or you can do that via email. Before the call and after each call, I'll email out the replay and any resources to help you take next steps to improve your SEO. And I'll be around via Voxer and email to support you as you work.And just to get your brain noodling on some stuff, these are some questions you may want to ask on the call. Is it worth it to optimize old podcasts for SEO? How long does keyword research take? And how do I use keywords? How long do blog posts need to be? And how often should I be blogging? How can I get more backlinks? Is SEO even a thing on Instagram?These are just some, just some of the questions that you might want to ask me.With SEO, you get more traffic to your site, more people spending more time on your site, more podcast listeners, increased name recognition, and more confidence. You become confident blogging. You become confident inserting SEO into your website, into your Instagram profile, into posts that you're making on Instagram and elsewhere. It's really pretty cool.Also, if you want to look at some of the visuals of what can happen once you improve your SEO, I'm going to link a recent Instagram post I did. It's a carousel. You can flip through all the screenshots. It's really kind of fun.Zoom calls

begin on September 11. Like I mentioned, they're held every Wednesday at 02:

00 p.m. eastern and they run for five weeks.The calls are recorded and you will get access to the replays for life!So if you're over there nodding along and feeling like this is the place you need to be, there will be a link below for you to join us inside the SEO sprint. You can join all the way up until September 11.And if you have any any questions prior to joining the SEO sprint. I love handling questions. You guys know this. Click the button in the show notes to text me or you can email me at hello@brittanyherzberg.co, or you can find me on Instagram Brittany_herzberg and send me a DM. I hope to see you in there. I am so excited to launch this group mentorship experience! I can't even tell you! So I'll see you in there.
