When I started out, I was one of the few women in the SEO trenches. I remember joining an SEO Group on Google and realising I was literally the only female in there. I’m beyond chuffed to see that that’s no longer the case. At a recent SEO event in Newcastle over half of the audience were women. It’s great to see the SEO world and events trying to aim for more balanced, diverse speaker lineups. But we still have a long way to go. I still see articles featuring the top 100 SEOS and nearly all of them are middle-aged white men. (Usually with beards). Today’s guest is passionate about amplifying women’s voices in SEO, and even has an upcoming event I’ll be speaking at. Let’s get into it. Tune in to learn: When Georgia got started in SEO What made Georgia want to focus on building a strong SEO community for women What has changed over the last few years in the SEO industry How men can help support women in SEO Who will be speaking at the Breaking Barriers IWD event What Georgia’s community do to support each other and make online marketing life easier What one area you should pay more attention to in your SEO Useful resources: Breaking Barriers Event: IWD Women in Digital Marketing Head to episode notes Freebies: Free webinar: Increase your website traffic (and sales) The Ultimate SEO Checklist Free SEO Nibbles Course Sign up for the Recipe for SEO Success Course…

Hey, we're back. It's 2025 and the Recipe for SEO Success podcast is back on the airwaves (or the earwaves or whatever podcasts are). For those of you who have been following my story online, you'll know that 2024 wasn't my best year. Very sadly, my dad passed away, and that caused obviously a lot of upset and changes. But never fear, we are back and I will be launching a series of episodes over the coming weeks and for the first part of this year, I really want to focus on Australian SEO talent. There are now dozens of SEO podcasts. When I started, there were very few. Now there are hundreds. Every software seems to have an SEO podcast, every publication. But we seem to see the same guests appearing again and again, and they're often the celebrity guests who are also on the speaker circuit. And since my audience is primarily real people, small business owners, ecommerce store owners, marketing managers, often who are trying to do SEO themselves with a very tight budget, I feel often these tips from the glamorous superstar SEOs aren't quite as relevant. We'll also continue our reality SEO episodes where we talk to people who are doing the do who aren't necessarily getting paid as SEO experts. And also I will continue to do my tips,I really want to go back to the basics, what is happening in 2025? How is SEO going to change? And of course it's always changing as it always has, we can't ignore the rise of ChatGTP and AI. So of course we'll be covering those in the episodes, but still core principles stay the same. So that's going to be the focus. Aussie Experts for now, more tips and advice, more reality, and a real focus on getting back to basics. So if that sounds good to you, put this in your favourite, listen in and welcome back. I'm so glad to be back in my little seat in my little hut in my back garden talking SEO again.

Hello, I just want to explain that we're going to be taking a little bit of a break on the podcast, probably about a month or so.

We will be back later in the year with more great episodes. Thanks for listening. I wish you all well. Thank you.

Setting up a website is not a one-off process. In many ways, it’s like having a plant. Building your website and optimising it to be found is like setting up the nutrient-rich soil. Hitting publish for the first time is like planting a seed. Now you just sit back and see what happens right? No, much like that little seed, if you ignore it, it will wither away, much like your website traffic. You have to monitor it, remove any bugs, and give it plenty of water and sunshine. I’ll leave the plant metaphor there. So how do we keep it healthy and thriving? The answer? Well, one answer is Google Search Console. I often describe it as Google Analytics ugly cousin, but in fact, it’s a rich source of website nutrients, helping you diagnose, and understand your website, and if necessary bring it back to life. Today we’ll look at the benefits of using Google’s Search Console as a tool in your SEO garden shed to keep traffic high and problems low.
