Why Your SEO Budget Is Bleeding You Dry (Build for Audiences, Not for Clicks)

Episode notes

We help B2B brands launch shows that turn their point of view into pipeline. If you're launching a podcast (or have one already) and are not sure how it can hit your bottom line, book a meeting with Jason: Most B2B marketing budgets are chasing 5% of buyers whilst the other 95% quietly form opinions about who they'll call when they're ready to buy. This is a reaction episode unpacking a critical shift happening right now in B2B marketing: the rising cost of rented attention and why owned media is no longer a "nice to have" but a structural necessity. With the cost of paid search rising sharply and algorithm updates continuing to reshape organic visibility, the businesses that will win are those building audiences they actually own. The episode draws on a landmark study from the LinkedIn B2B Institute showing that at any given moment, 95% of your target customers are out of market. They are not looking for your solution today, but they could be tomorrow. Yet the vast majority of marketing and sales spend, from you and your competitors alike, is directed at the 5% actively in-market.
