Episode notes
Titles Are The Primary Click Driver
- Titles are the single biggest lever for content performance because listeners and searchers scan and choose primarily by the first few words.
- Kieran notes podcast downloads varied hugely by title, with some episodes getting 10k vs 50k downloads purely from stronger titles.
Avoid Generic Keyword Titles
- Do not rely solely on generic keyword tools for titles because they surface what everyone else uses and won't hook readers.
- Kieran recommends getting inspiration from live examples rather than only Keywords Everywhere or Google Trends.
Hook Specific Audiences With Niche Language
- Target audience clarity lets you craft titles that stand out by using phrases only that audience uses or cares about.
- Louise explains niche phrasing (e.g., dentistry-focused SEO) reduces competition and attracts qualified visitors.
