Podcast Overview

This podcast exists because you deserve better than the SEO bollocks currently being sold to you. Every week, I'll give you 10-15 minutes of straight talk about SEO. Practical advice that actually works for B2B websites trying to get found on Google/search and make money. The kind of stuff that's been proven over years, not dreamed up last Tuesday by some LinkedIn tosspot. Real SEO from someone who's been doing this since dial-up was considered fast. I'll tell you what works, what's complete nonsense, and which tactics will get your website buried faster than you can say "guaranteed first page rankings." I'm calling out the bullshitters. The agencies promising the world and delivering fuck all. The LinkedIn gooroos flogging courses about things that don't actually exist. The AI SEO "hacks" destroying perfectly good websites. The expensive tools you don't need. The "experts" who learned SEO from a YouTube video three months ago. If someone's talking bollocks about SEO, you'll hear about it here. More importantly, I'm telling you what to do instead. Every rant comes with actual, practical steps you can take. Real actions that get results, not theory that sounds clever but does bugger all for your rankings. "Do this, then do that, and you'll see movement." That's it. That's the format. You're running a B2B business or managing a B2B website. You've probably been burned by an SEO agency before. Maybe they took your money and delivered a fancy report full of words that meant absolutely nothing. Or they promised first page rankings and disappeared after six months of bugger all results. You're sick of reading blog posts that say nothing in 2000 words. You're tired of SEO "tips" that are either blindingly obvious or completely bizarre. You want someone to cut through the crap and tell you what actually matters for your business, not what works for some massive ecommerce site with a budget the size of a small country. You don't need a PhD in technical SEO. You need to know what's worth your time and what's complete bollocks. You need to know which tactics will actually bring in leads and which ones are just expensive ways to make yourself feel busy. That's what I'm here for. This isn't some sanitised, corporate-approved SEO podcast where everyone's lovely and we pretend all tactics are equally valid. They're not. Some are brilliant. Most are pointless. And some will actively fuck up your website while the "expert" who recommended them is off selling the same dodgy advice to the next poor sod. I swear. A lot. If that bothers you, there are plenty of other podcasts out there with hosts who never offend anyone. Go find them. They're very nice. They're also very boring. This also isn't a podcast that assumes you're stupid. You're not. You're just busy running a business and don't have time to decode the latest algorithm update or work out which SEO tactic is legitimate and which one's complete fantasy. Fifteen minutes. One topic. I'll tell you what's pissing me off this week in the SEO industry, why it matters to your website, and what you should actually do about it. Then I'm done. You can get back to running your business. New episodes drop weekly, because the SEO industry creates fresh bullshit faster than I can rant about it. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts so you don't miss the next time some gooroo invents a new problem to sell you the solution to. Welcome to SEO F**king What? Let's fix your website.

"Dangerous Dave" and the SEO Insights Trap

<blockquote>“Dave has half a story, no context, and excellent confidence. That’s what makes him dangerous.”</blockquote><p></p><p>Hi, I’m <a href="https://linkedin.com/in/nikkipilkington" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nikki Pilkington</a>. My site is <a href="https://nikki-pilkington.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nikki-pilkington.com/</a> and in this episode of “SEO F**king What”, I’m talking about one of the most common and most exhausting problems in SEO — and it’s not algorithm updates, and it’s not technical debt. It’s Dave.</p><p>Dave means well. That’s the thing. He just went to a two-day digital marketing conference in Birmingham, sat through a keynote about AI search, and now he’s forwarding you articles at 9:00 PM on a Tuesday with a subject line, “Have you seen this?” You have. You saw it six months ago.</p><p>Here’s what I’m covering:</p><ul><li>Who Dave is — and why he takes so many different forms in your business</li><li>Why Dave usually gets it wrong, and why that’s not entirely his fault</li><li>The problem with conference keynotes, cheap SEO tools, and LinkedIn engagement bait</li><li>Why dismissing Dave outright is the worst possible strategy</li><li>How to create a process for handling Dave that actually protects your SEO strategy</li><li>When to take Dave seriously — because sometimes, he’s onto something</li></ul><br/><p>If you’ve got a Dave in your orbit right now — a sceptical stakeholder, a conflicting tool, a partner’s contact with strong opinions — send them this episode. It might save everyone a pointless meeting.</p><p>Get found. Make money. Stop stressing. Get yourself a Nikki, not a Dave.</p><p><strong>Links mentioned:</strong></p><p>Non-Wanky SEO Courses: <a href="https://nonwankyseo.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nonwankyseo.com</a></p><p><strong>Follow Nikki:</strong></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikkipilkington/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikkipilkington/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikkipilkington/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/nikkipilkington/</a></p><p>Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/nikkipilkington.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/nikkipilkington.bsky.social</a></p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Join our blogging masterclass</strong></p><p><a href="https://seofuckingwhatpodcast.co.uk/masterclass">Blogging Masterclass</a></p>
