SEO is crucial for boosting your podcast's visibility, and in this episode we will look at how effective keyword strategies can lead to increased both your podcast's downloads and your audience engagement. I'll share my surprising experience of gaining nearly 2,000 downloads during a hiatus from new content, attributing this success to a strong focus on podcasting SEO. We will discuss the importance of crafting clear, keyword-rich episode titles and show notes that resonate with what listeners are actively searching for. By identifying evergreen content topics and utilising tools like Google and YouTube for keyword research, podcasters can enhance their discoverability.

This episode will give you clear, actionable tips for helping you to rank your podcast on Google, YouTube, and other search engines. We'll discuss how to figure out the keywords that your audience are using to search for your content, how to make your podcast episodes searchable, and how you can optimise your podcast assets to get your podcast found on search engines such as YouTube and Google, and podcast directories such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
