The Creative Biz Owner’s SEO Dilemma

You’re curled up with your favorite tea, ideas flowing beautifully as you write content that feels so authentically *you*.

Then you remember someone mentioned SEO, and suddenly your creative flow screeches to a halt. You start second-guessing every word, wondering if it’s “optimized” enough, if Google will like it, if you’re doing it all wrong.

This is the creative business owner’s SEO dilemma — a constant tug-of-war between creating from your heart and creating for search engines.

The problem is, without proper search engine optimization basics, it’s easy to feel lost. But with them, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with analysis paralysis.

It’s why so many magical biz owners either:

• Avoid blogging altogether (despite knowing it could help their business)
• Create content sporadically without any strategy (and see minimal results)
• Hire expensive SEO experts who don’t understand your soulful voice and approach
• Try to follow generic SEO advice that leaves their content feeling flat and lifeless

This tension exists because most SEO advice simply wasn’t created for heart-centered, intuitive biz owners like you. We’re not here for the hustle bro advice — we want to support the business that’s an extension of your heartbeat.

Why Does SEO Feel Like It’s Stealing Your Soul?

The Pressure to Sound Profesh

Let’s talk about what happens when soulful business owners try to sound “professional” for SEO.

Suddenly, the healer who speaks in beautiful metaphors about energy and transformation is writing stilted sentences about “utilizing holistic methodologies to facilitate optimal wellness outcomes.” 🤢

The intuitive coach who naturally uses words like “magical,” “aligned,” and “soul-stirring” starts writing about “implementing strategic mindset optimization techniques.” 😭

It feels terrible to write this way. We did it before we knew better. It disconnects us from our natural voice. And most importantly – it disconnects us from the very people searching for exactly *our* approach to what we do.

The truth?

Your ideal clients are typing their questions into Google using the same language they’d use in conversation. They’re not searching for “optimal wellness facilitation” – they’re searching for “how to feel like myself again” or “spiritual practice for busy moms.”

This is the foundation of effective blog keyword research — understanding the human language of your audience.

Allllll the Scary SEO Terms (Meta Descriptions, Alt Text, Secondary Keywords?!)

All you need to know is that Google wants your content to be helpful and valuable and that it’s getting smarter and smarter. There are a few terms to know but once you know them, SEO becomes really easy and you can focus on your creativity. That’s the goal.

Let’s take a deep breath and simplify this for a moment. 🧘‍♀️

At its core, SEO is about helping Google understand what your content is about so it can show it to people searching for that topic. That’s it.

Yes, there are technical terms like meta descriptions (the little preview snippet that shows up in search results) and alt text (descriptions of images for accessibility).

But these aren’t complicated concepts – they’re just places where you get to further infuse your unique voice.

(And you can ask your cute little Claude AI assistant what they are and she’ll help you a ton.)

The beautiful truth is that Google’s AI is becoming increasingly sophisticated at recognizing helpful, valuable content. This means the old tricks of keyword stuffing and technical manipulation are becoming less effective, while authentic, comprehensive content is being rewarded!

You don’t need to master every SEO term or technique. 👏 We promise, friend.

You just need to focus on creating genuinely helpful content that incorporates the language your ideal clients are already using.

This approach to SEO friendly writing feels more natural and creates better results — yay for you!

Wanting to Please Google More Than ACTUAL PEOPLE

Perhaps the biggest soul-stealer in SEO is forgetting who you’re really writing for.

When we focus on “pleasing the algorithm” instead of connecting with the humans on the other side of the screen, our content loses its magic. It becomes a technical exercise rather than a heartfelt conversation. And that’s probably why we legit cringe every time we think about blogging.

But here’s that beautiful paradox yet again: Google’s ultimate goal is to deliver content that real people find valuable.

This means that by focusing first on creating content that genuinely helps your ideal clients, you’re actually aligning with what Google wants too! You guys are in synchronization with each other, whether you’ve known it or not. 🥹

This is also why the most sustainable blog content strategy isn’t about outsmarting algorithms (even though we hear that language all the time and it makes us a little cray!). It’s all about creating content so helpful and aligned that both humans and search engines recognize its value.

We’re all about being in service — just like we are in our biz, too.

Okay — so let’s keep it super simple. Here are 3 ways to transform blogs with SEO to create that foundation for truthful connection.

3 Ways to Transform Blogs with SEO Without Losing Your Magic

Way #1: Find Keywords From Your Natural Conversations

What if the perfect keywords for your business are already flowing naturally in your conversations?

Here’s a cozy approach to keyword research that starts with your authentic voice:

1. Open Claude (or any AI assistant) on your phone and use the voice feature to simply talk for 5 minutes about what you love about your work, the questions clients often ask you, or the transformations you help create. Brain dump here! Don’t edit yourself. Just keep talking just like you’d be sending a voice memo of your thoughts to your friend.
2. Once you’ve finished your natural conversation, ask Claude: “What keywords or phrases did I use that might be valuable for SEO?” She (Claude) will identify patterns in your natural language that could serve as potential keywords.
3. Take those extracted keywords and check them on SEMRush (or any keyword research tool) to identify which ones have decent search volume and lower competition, if you’re familiar with how that works (if you’re not, totally fine. We’ll get into 2 more techniques that doesn’t require any SEO tools).

I love this approach so much because it helps make sure your SEO strategy is pulling from what’s inside your soul, not outside. It’s using language and topics that already feel natural to you rather than forcing you to adopt awkward phrasing that doesn’t really align with your brand voice.

These cute little SEO writing tips to use with Claude create content that both ranks and resonates — a true dream team, am I right?! ✨

For instance, if you offer intuitive business coaching and naturally used phrases like “business decisions that feel good” and “intuitive business planning” in your conversations, these phrases (or ones pretty close to it) might become amazing keywords for your content because they reflect both your authentic approach and what your ideal clients were already searching for!

Because we’re all human, and chances are the things we’re saying are also things other people are saying, too!

Way #2: Literally Just Answer Questions

One of the simplest yet most powerful approaches to SEO-friendly content is to directly answer the questions your ideal clients are actually asking!

This approach so works wonderfully if you:

• Don’t have budget for fancy SEO tools
• Feel overwhelmed by technical keyword research
• Want to ensure your content is genuinely helpful

Here’s how to make it work. Collect real questions from any of the following spots:

• Comments on your SM posts
• Emails or DMs from past clients
• Facebook groups where your ideal clients hangs out
• The “People Also Ask” section on Google when you search for topics in your niche

Then, just choose one question that lights you up that you have some great insight on. Ask Claude to help you write a blog post around it — specifically, ask her to help you with the outline, first, to make sure you have enough content about it.

Then, once you’ve outlined it, just plug in your answers thoroughly and truthfully as if you were literally typing back a text to a friend. Simply use the question itself as your blog title or H1 (with minor adjustments for clarity if needed) and voila!

What makes this approach so effective is that it naturally aligns with how people search.

When someone types a question into Google, they’re looking for content that directly addresses that question.

Structuring your content around real questions will help you automatically optimize for the way people actually search. This cute, simple little blog post optimization technique can deliver amazing organic blog growth without any of the complicated systems or tools that overwhelm you.

Plus, question-based content tends to perform well for voice search and featured snippets (those answer boxes at the top of Google search results), giving you even more visibility.

Way #3: Ask AI for Some MOFU, BOFU and TOFU Ideas and Run With It

If you’re feeling stuck on what topics might attract your ideal clients at different stages of their journey, you probably know at this point how amazing Claude can be as your creative partner in crime when it comes to blogging.

First, let’s quickly demystify these marketing terms if you don’t know them —

• TOFU = Top of Funnel (people just becoming aware of the problem you solve)
• MOFU = Middle of Funnel (people exploring solutions to their problem)
• BOFU = Bottom of Funnel (people ready to invest in a specific solution)

Now, here’s how to use AI to generate content ideas for each stage:

1. Ask Claude (or your preferred AI tool): “Based on my business helping [your ideal client] with [your service/expertise], can you suggest 5 TOFU content ideas that would attract people just becoming aware of this need?”
2. Repeat for MOFU and BOFU content ideas.
3. Review the suggestions and identify which ones spark joy or inspiration for you.
4. Take that suggested topic and infuse it with your unique perspective, examples, and voice. If you need, voice memo Claude into that same chat, and ask it to integrate some of what you said into the blog post.

What makes this approach powerful is that it gives you strategic direction while still leaving plenty of room for your authentic expression. The AI provides the structure, but your unique magic brings it to life!

It’s truly an amazing blog traffic strategy because it combines efficiency with truth — something we’re really leaning in on through all 3 of these examples.

How to Make SEO Feel Cozy

Now that we have our content strategies, let’s talk about how to make the actual process of creating SEO-friendly content feel delightful rather than draining.

Theme Your Google Docs With Your Brand Colors

One of the simplest ways to make SEO feel more aligned is to create a beautiful environment for your content creation!

We’re talking beautifully-colored and branded Google Docs with your brand colors and fonts to add some extra beauty to the process. Bring in your logo or a pretty brand element at the top (I love how Google Docs let you have cover photos now!)

Here’s what ours looks like right now 👇

Staying connected to your brand essence even when working on more technical content can really help make the process a little more romantic and delightful.

We feel like when we’re working in a doc that feels like us, our writing naturally sounds more like us, too. It’s funny how it works like that. 😌

Reward Yourself with Takeout, Candles or Little Prizes Every Time You Blog

We do this thing where the work we dread the most is the work we do when we go to a food hall and eat sushi. It helps me make it more manageable and makes it something we look forward to.

Creating positive associations with your content creation can actually transform it from a dreaded task into something you actually look forward to!

Maybe for you this is lighting your favorite candle or incense, ordering your fav takeout as a treat, making a cozy drink in a mug you just got, or playing a special playlist.

These sensory pleasures create new neural pathways that associate SEO content with positive feelings rather than resistance or overwhelm.

Literally, imaging a blogging day basket filled with your favorite tea, mugs, chocolate, and a Thai food gift card? Count us IN.

Remember, consistent content is so important for SEO success – and creating enjoyable rituals makes consistency so much easier.
