SEO/SEM discussion and analysis podcast from BlackTruck Media + Marketing

Testing. Testing. Is this thing on?

A post shared by BlackTruck Media + Marketing (@blacktruck.media) on

If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you might have seen some photos teasing a project we’ve been working on for a couple months: The Redirect Podcast.

The Redirect is a weekly podcast of search industry research, discussion, and analysis, featuring the BlackTruck Media + Marketing team and an occasional guest.

Why record a podcast?

Earlier this year, our Friday morning team meetings included each of us sharing what we’d been reading in industry news throughout the week. We thought, hey, our discussion could also help people interested in SEO keep up with what’s happening in the search engine marketing, search engine optimization, and digital marketing world. Now, we gather around a microphone at our conference table and record the conversation.

The podcast began as Friday morning meetings with coffee, but has shifted into Friday afternoon meetings with beer (you might even notice this change somewhere along your listening journey…). We’re having a lot of fun with The Redirect, and we’re excited to continue sharing our discoveries and thoughts with you every Friday with a new show.

Our first seven episodes are described and embedded below.
