In this episode of The Business Gay Podcast, host Calan Breckon speaks with...himself?

Today's episode is going to be a little different. I usually have a guest I'm interviewing but today I wanted to share with you a workshop I recently did on the importance of SEO for small businesses.

This episode is from the live recording of that workshop where I share practical tips about SEO, why SEO is important, and how it can truly benefit your business if you commit to it.

If you want the full picture I suggest you check out the accompanying YouTube video to follow along with the slides I share. You'll still be able to grasp a great understanding through just the audio though so don't worry if you prefer to listen instead of watch.
