I'm a Podcast Growth Strategist for GenX Entrepreneurs
This is exactly what I built my business to solve.
The downloads are stuck, new listeners aren't finding you, and somewhere in the back of your mind you're starting to question whether the problem is something you can identify on your own.
Before I ever touched a podcast, I spent years as a fraud investigator. That work taught me to read past the surface. In podcasting, the surface is usually downloads, consistency, or promotion. The thing actually driving the problem lives one layer deeper, and it's the metadata.
Your show title describes the vibe instead of the topic. Your description reads fine to you and tells the search algorithm nothing. Your episode titles are written for the listener who already found you, not the one still out there searching. Apple, Spotify, and Google search can't recommend what they can't understand, and right now your show probably isn't giving them much to work with.
I've produced over 2,500 episodes and worked with 70+ podcasters. I know what keeps a show invisible, and I know how to fix it.
