If you have setup a website, or at least a web page for your podcast, you’re probably aware that podcast players are not the best when it comes to search engine optimization. These players are small bits of code that lack headers and text, which are the primary things being looked for as search engines crawl your site to categorize the content. Adding transcripts to your podcast website can be beneficial in helping search engines more accurately define and rank your page. On top of this, if someone decides they’d like to quote you or write an article with a reference to your show, a transcript makes it much easier to ensure they are getting the language correct, rather than trying to transcribe directly from an episode.
