How to Pick the Right Podcast Promotion Service for You
We have given you quite an extensive list of agencies that offer a podcast promotion service. But don’t be overwhelmed! In this section, we are going to help you identify the ones that should be at the top of your individual list. 👩🎤
B2B vs Indie
First, you can narrow down the list by deciding if you want a marketing agency that specializes in B2B (business to business) podcasts or works more with indie podcasters. Some work with both, of course, but many specialize in one or the other.
If you do want to go with a B2B specialist, take a look at the agencies’ client lists. If they primarily work with huge, global brands, they may not be the best fit for smaller business podcasts. Not only might they charge a lot more money, but they may not know what works best for entrepreneurs, consultants, etc. 🍎🍊
Also, ask B2B marketing agencies for concrete examples of how they have achieved high podcast ROI for branded podcasts.
Specific Services
Next, look at what specific services they provide. Do you just need help repurposing your podcast as marketing “snacks” to share on social media, etc? Or do you need more comprehensive help in building your podcast brand?
Remember, now more than ever, there are automated tools that can really help you produce marketing content and maximize search engine optimization (SEO). For example, Ausha has these tools:
- Social Media Manager with integrated ChatGPT to automatically create posts.
- Video clip generator that makes social media posts the algorithms love.
- Audio-to-video episode converter tool and distributes episodes automatically to YouTube
- A podcast website created specifically to grow your SEO
- Specialized listen links (Smartlink, Deeplink) that drive higher listener conversion
- Newsletter tool that can automatically send emails when you publish a new episode
Personal Fit
Liking who you work with matters. Don’t be afraid to set up calls with a few of the agencies just to see how the conversation goes. Of course make sure to ask exactly who you will be working with if you do sign on as a client. You probably won’t be working with the same person who you initially talk to. 📞
As always, this list is just meant to give you an idea of what agencies are out there. We encourage you to do your research and find the perfect podcast agency for you and your podcast. 💜
