Show Notes · Hook & Guest Bio
Outcome-first opener. Concrete guest bio. Keyword in the first 40 words.
Cold email for small business still converts — if you fix the first line.

Sarah Chen ran a $40k cold email experiment across two product launches and arrived at a counterintuitive result: personalisation doesn't need to be elaborate. It needs to be specific. One sentence changed her reply rate from 1.2% to 11.4%.

About Sarah Chen
Sarah bootstrapped two SaaS products to $1M ARR without VC funding. She now advises early-stage founders on outbound strategy and has spoken at SaaStr, MicroConf, and Indie Hackers Live. Website: [sarahchen.co]
No "In this episode…", no "thought leader", no job titles alone. The bio answers: what did this person build, break, or survive that makes them worth 50 minutes?

Each title is a search phrase, a curiosity hook, or a specific claim — not a segment label. Chapter lists are navigation AND marketing.
SEO Meta · Platform Description
140–155 chars for Google. 200–250 chars for Spotify and Apple. Both platform-ready.
SEO Meta Description (148 chars)
Cold email for small business still converts — Sarah Chen shares the $40k test that moved reply rates 9x. Growth Lab Podcast, Ep. 91.

Spotify / Apple Short Description (237 chars)
Cold email still works if you fix one thing. Sarah Chen ran a $40k experiment and found the exact line that moved reply rates from 1.2% to 11.4%. Hear the framework. New episode every Tuesday. Full notes at growthlab.fm
Primary keyword in the first 60 characters of the meta description. First 120 chars of the platform description contain keyword and listener outcome — both indexed most heavily by Apple and Spotify search.
Newsletter Teaser · 80–120 Words
Curiosity gap closer. Ends on the unresolved question — never a summary.
Subject: She spent $40k on cold email and found one thing

Sarah Chen is not a cold email evangelist. She's someone who nearly gave up on outbound entirely — until one variable changed everything.

Over two product launches, she sent thousands of emails. The difference between a 1.2% reply rate and an 11.4% reply rate came down to a single sentence in the opening line.

The new episode is out now → [link]

The question she couldn't answer until the second experiment: was it the personalisation — or something else entirely?
No "New episode!", no "This week on…". Ends on the unresolved question — the episode resolves it. The teaser does not summarise; it creates the gap.

Who it's for

Built for every show
that deserves
to be found.

✓
Solo hosts who write show notes after midnight and publish whatever comes out.
✓
Podcast producers managing multiple shows who need a repeatable publishing workflow.
✓
Podcast networks standardising SEO and platform metadata across their catalogue.
✓
Guest interview shows where the host doesn't want to write about their own episode.
Not what this is for
✕Episode scripting or interview question writing — that's the Podcast Episode Script skill.
✕Audio editing, mixing, or production — this is a publishing and discoverability tool only.
✕Long-form blog posts based on the episode — that's a different content format with different SEO rules.

The complete guide to podcast show notes covers what makes notes that rank in search versus notes that just recap.

"I produce three shows a week. Before this skill, show notes were the thing I rushed and hated. Now each episode gets a full publishing package in minutes — and our Spotify search traffic is up 34% over the last two months."
