Podbean's team members, Roni and John, share invaluable insights on how to leverage text elements like descriptions, timestamps, and transcripts to ensure your content is picked up by algorithms on Google, TikTok, Instagram, and more.

"Text is still king. When all of the algorithms and search engines are crawling through the content, they can't crawl through audio and video. What they're crawling through is the descriptions on the video, the timestamps on the video, and any other text like your transcripts. - Roni Gosch, Podcast Specialist
