In the ever-expanding universe of podcasting, creating content that resonates with listeners is only half the battle. The real challenge? Ensuring your podcast doesn’t get lost in the sea of options available on platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. This is the dilemma facing podcasters today—how to stand out when quality alone isn’t enough to guarantee visibility.
This is where Podcast Search Optimization (PSO) comes into play, a strategy as crucial as it is often overlooked.
Why Podcast Search Optimization (PSO) is the New Frontier in SEO for Podcast
You might be a pro at SEO for websites, but have you considered the untapped potential of SEO for podcasts ? We call it Podcast Search Optimization.
According to The Podcast Host, 40% of podcast listeners are searching for shows directly on their listening apps. A whopping 58% of these users type in a topic and choose from the search results. 🔍
Much like SEO for websites, PSO is all about optimizing your metadata to boost your podcast’s visibility in search results. It’s not just about using keywords but knowing how to strategically integrate them to enhance your show’s discoverability and reach a larger audience.
This makes PSO (Podcast Search Optimization) an indispensable skill for anyone serious about Podcasting.
