Today, Louie talks through creating show notes and descriptions - what they are, what you need to include, how long they should be and more. He shares some of the insider tips and tricks podcast agencies use when writing show notes for their clients.

When written well, show notes are a powerful SEO tool that feeds the algorithm with keywords and relevant information, helping your podcast get discovered by new listeners. Well-crafted show notes not only tempt your audience to tune in but also drive engagement and make it easy for people to connect with and learn to trust you, so you can turn them into fans, subscribers, and buyers.
