E875: Everyone says "just make good content" - but what does that actually mean?

I break down the uncomfortable but insanely effective method for creating SEO content that gets clicked, consumed, and converts. The key: go back to content you created over four months ago and review it with fresh eyes. It's not easy, but it's one of the most reliable ways to find gaps, improve engagement, and outperform competitors.

You'll learn:
- How to evaluate old content using a simple checklist
- Why giving the answer immediately beats writing a "hook"
- The dangers of generic writing, long paragraphs, and awkward keyword targeting
- How real experience, social proof, and cited sources drive EEAT
- A practical example of someone ranking #1 by simply realizing their content "wasn't very good" - and fixing it

Plus, I share quick tactical tips to avoid common SEO writing mistakes and how to predict what visitors want next so they don't bounce.

If you want content that ranks and leads to conversions, this episode is a must-listen.
