Podcasts about podcast seo

#280: Ist dein Audiopodcast 2026 überhaupt noch sichtbar – oder führt kein Weg mehr an Video vorbei? In dieser Episode schaue ich mir an, warum jetzt auch Apple Podcasts auf Video setzt und was das für Spotify, YouTube und deine Sichtbarkeit bedeutet. Ich zeige dir aktuelle Zahlen dazu, wie Menschen Podcasts wirklich konsumieren, warum YouTube inzwischen die zweitwichtigste Podcast-Plattform ist und welche Vor- und Nachteile ein Videopodcast wirklich hat. Außerdem verrate ich dir meine Tool- und Hoster-Tipps, falls du den Schritt gehen willst. Am Ende bekommst du eine ehrliche Antwort auf die Frage: Musst du wirklich auf Video umsteigen?Viel Spaß bei Hören und beim Schauen,deine Anika

If you've optimized your show name and assumed your podcast seo was handled, you may be missing a much bigger opportunity.Getting found in 2026 isn't about putting one keyword in your title and calling it a strategy. It's about giving podcast platforms a clear, consistent picture of what your show is about—and letting listener behaviour reinforce it. That's how podcast discoverability becomes part of your podcast business, rather than something you have to manufacture every week.You'll learn why show-level and episode-level optimization do different jobs, how podcast keyword research helps you choose opportunities worth targeting, and why your episode titles and show notes matter. I'm also breaking down the three questions I use to evaluate a keyword before I build it into my podcast seo strategy.Because the goal isn't to chase the biggest keyword. It's to find the best opportunity. A strong podcast marketing strategy connects relevance, search activity, competition, and the larger territory you want your show to own. That's where podcast discoverability tips become useful—and where podcast keyword tips become part of a real strategy.This is also why podcast seo can keep working when you aren't publishing. My show climbed to #11 on the Canadian charts while I took the summer off. For anyone podcasting for business, that's the bigger goal: building an asset that can continue bringing new listeners into your world, even when you aren't constantly feeding it new content.If you're ready to see how I build this from the ground up, join me September 28–30 for The Canadian Entrepreneur Podcast Experience. I'll walk you through my process live, including keyword weight, show-level strategy, episode-level strategy, and the decisions behind choosing keywords worth pursuing. Grab your free spot at janditchfield.co/summit and come learn with me.Ready to grow your podcast alongside Canadian women who get it?The Show is Canada's podcast business mastermind for women entrepreneurs who want to build a podcast that gets found, grows their business and climbs the Canadian charts.Inside, we're working on the things that actually move a show forward: podcast business growth strategy, discoverability and SEO, audience growth, analytics, content, authority, Canadian chart strategy and turning your podcast into a business asset.You'll also be part of a room full of Canadian women podcasters to connect and collaborate with, plus access to Canadian guest opportunities, Sponsor Match, podcast growth resources and The Show LIVE—our monthly mastermind where we dig into what's working, what's not and what to do next.The Show is free to join.If you're a Canadian woman entrepreneur building a podcast to grow your business, come find your people—and let's put more Canadian women on the podcast charts.Join The Show → janditchfield.co/theshow

What if growing your business didn't require more content, more platforms, or more hours?In this episode, Holly is welcoming Stephanie Gass back to the podcast to talk about how she's built a multi-seven-figure business with podcasting at the center—without relying on social media or ads.And now that AI is changing the way people search for and discover content, podcasting may be becoming even MORE powerful.They are digging into how to make your podcast more searchable in the AI era, why clear titles and keywords matter, and how to decide whether repurposing your content is actually worth your time.Stephanie also shares what her life-first business looks like behind the scenes, including how she plans 12 months ahead while working just 15–20 hours a week.One of Holly's favorite parts of this conversation is Stephanie's reminder that you don't constantly need to create a new “fire” in your business.

Every episode is someone's first episode, and that changes everything about how you should structure your show. I break down the essentials of episode architecture: what a master intro is and why you need one, why pre-recording multiple outros will save you in a pinch, and how to build an audiogram that hooks listeners in the first 30 seconds. I walk through the ideal flow for your episodes, why asking for ratings and reviews in your outro matters more than you think (plus a real client example that worked), and why you don't need sponsors on day one to have something valuable to offer your audience. I also cover the difference between pre-roll and mid-roll ads, a smarter way to pitch sponsors, and why recording your intros and offers on video gives you reusable content for your PR package down the road.Key TopicsWhat a master intro is and why every show needs oneWhy you should pre-record several outro optionsBuilding an audiogram that hooks listeners in 30 secondsStructuring your episode flow for first-time listenersAsking for ratings and reviews the right way (with a client example)Why you have something to offer even without sponsorsA smarter strategy for pitching sponsors and landing brand dealsRecording intros, outros, and offers on video for future PR usePre-roll vs. mid-roll ads: where to place your offersLet's Connect!Book Your Podcast Consultation Today: https://www.pivotballchange.com/servicesLaunch Your Podcast with Pivot Ball Change: https://www.pivotballchange.com/servicesFollow Pivot Ball Change on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotballchange/Visit Pivot Ball Change's Website: https://www.pivotballchange.com/Riverside: https://riverside.sjv.io/c/6950782/2183832/28064

We'll discuss why these stories continue to dominate public conversation, explore the political and geopolitical questions people are asking, and examine why these events should be viewed together rather than in isolation.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Growing a podcast audience has never been easy, and today's creators face more competition and more choices than ever before. In this episode, the morning show cast and crew sit down with Rob Walch to talk about audience growth, discoverability, monetization, AI, video podcasting, and the lessons learned from more than two decades in the industry.

What if the reason your podcast isn't generating more leads, clients, or sales has nothing to do with visibility?Right now, there's a lot of conversation around podcast seo. And while discoverability absolutely matters, I think many coaches, consultants, and course creators have been led to believe that getting found is the ultimate goal. It's not.Because getting found and getting clients are two very different things.If you've been spending hours researching keywords, optimizing titles, and trying to grow podcast downloads, but you're not seeing meaningful business growth, this conversation may completely change how you think about your strategy.The first shift is understanding that podcast seo is about much more than keywords. Keywords can help people discover your content, but they don't guarantee those people are aligned with the services, programs, or offers you sell. The most effective podcast seo strategy starts with understanding who you want to attract and what problems they're actively trying to solve.We also dive into one of the biggest misconceptions in online business: the belief that more downloads automatically lead to more revenue. While it's tempting to focus on podcast growth, the real opportunity lies in podcast listener conversion. A smaller audience filled with potential buyers will almost always outperform a larger audience of casual listeners.And this is where many business owners get stuck.They're focused on how to increase downloads when they should be focused on how to convert podcast listeners into subscribers, email list members, consultation bookings, and clients.Finally, we're talking about something that rarely gets discussed in conversations about podcast seo strategies: connection. Getting someone to press play is only the beginning. The content itself is what builds trust. It's what keeps people coming back. And it's what ultimately supports podcast monetization and long-term business growth.If you're building a podcast business, growing a coaching brand, or looking for a smarter way to promote a podcast, this conversation will help you shift your focus from vanity metrics to the strategies that actually move the needle.Because the goal isn't simply to be discovered. The goal is to attract the right people, earn their trust, and create content that makes them want to take the next step.Ready to build a podcast that supports your business goals and attracts listeners who are more likely to become clients?

Have you ever looked at a podcast that seemed to take off overnight and assumed it was luck?A few weeks ago, I launched a brand-new show that landed in the Top 30 charts in Canada within days. While the rankings were exciting, they weren't the biggest takeaway. What surprised me most was what happened after people started listening. And that experience reinforced some powerful lessons about podcasting for business that every entrepreneur should hear.One of the biggest misconceptions in podcast growth is that you need a massive audience to succeed. But what this launch reminded me is that niche doesn't mean small—it means specific. When your message is clear, your content becomes more memorable, creating deeper audience growth and stronger connection. That's one of the foundations of successful podcasting for business.Another lesson? Being discovered and being remembered are two very different things. Yes, podcast SEO, positioning, and launch strategy helped people find the show. But listeners shared it because they connected with the stories. The emotions felt familiar. The experiences felt relatable. That's where real podcast growth begins.You'll also hear why the most effective business growth strategy isn't chasing a single tactic. Sustainable podcast business growth happens when trust, visibility, and connection work together. Whether you're focused on podcast marketing for business, podcast monetization, or trying to grow podcast downloads, momentum comes from creating conversations people want to continue long after the episode ends.This conversation explores what it really takes to grow your podcast, why specificity creates stronger results than broad appeal, and how podcasting for business can become one of the most powerful tools for building authority, relationships, and long-term business growth.Because it's not about reaching everyone. It's about reaching the right people. And this is where podcasting for business becomes far more effective than most creators realize.If you've ever wondered how to create a podcast that people genuinely care about, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on what drives podcast download growth, audience loyalty, and meaningful business growth.Enjoyed this conversation?

Brigitte Sachse of Bee Video Productions returns for her third visit to talk shop with Dario and Kyrill. We get into how Bee Video landed a documentary series on TVO ("The Nature of Design"), why animation became their secret weapon, and the recurring theme of the whole episode: diversifying your work, your income, and even your project timelines so you never have all your eggs in one basket. We also dig into whether AI video is actually a threat (spoiler: not yet), the great raw-footage-and-project-files debate, the pain of government RFPs, public pricing, SEO, and a couple of brutal "client didn't pay us" war stories — plus the copyright-strike trick that gets you paid.

If you've been pouring time into your podcast but still feel invisible online, there's a good chance the problem isn't your content — it's your podcast SEO strategy.Because here's the truth: creating great episodes is only part of the equation. If platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify don't fully understand what your show is about, who it serves, and how it fits into listener search behavior, your podcast becomes much harder to discover.And honestly? Most podcasters are getting oversimplified advice.Things like “just use keywords in your titles” barely scratch the surface of how podcast SEO actually works.Inside this conversation, we're breaking down the real mechanics behind podcast seo strategies that help grow your podcast sustainably over time.

It's about building clarity.You'll also hear how podcast promotion strategies and podcast keyword tips work together to support marketing your podcast in a way that feels intentional instead of overwhelming. And this is where so many podcasters miss opportunities for podcast client conversion and long-term podcast monetization.The best part? Once your podcast SEO foundation is working, your content starts building momentum for you. Your show becomes easier to find, easier to recommend, and easier to trust.Whether you're trying to grow your show, promote a podcast strategically, or build a stronger podcast business that supports your larger goals, this conversation will help you approach podcast SEO with a smarter, more sustainable strategy.If you're ready to build a podcast that creates authority, visibility, and real business growth, come join me inside Podcasts That Convert at janditchfield.co/join.

These podcast marketing strategies might completely change the way you think about consistency.Because here's the truth no one really talks about: summer changes the way people consume content. Routines shift. Downloads fluctuate. Energy looks different. And for a lot of coaches and consultants, trying to maintain the exact same pace all year long is what leads to burnout — not growth.This conversation is all about creating a smarter strategy for your podcasting business without disappearing completely. Instead of putting pressure on yourself to constantly produce more content, you'll hear a different approach to podcast growth that feels lighter, more sustainable, and honestly… a lot more effective.We're talking about podcast marketing strategies on how to use shorter episodes to support discoverability, why bingeable micro-content works so well during slower seasons, and how to revisit older episodes using a stronger podcast SEO strategy.

In fact, your back catalogue could become one of your biggest visibility assets when used intentionally.You'll also learn how to grow podcast downloads without creating brand-new long-form content every single week, how to use evergreen marketing strategy principles to strengthen your visibility, and why strategic consistency matters so much more than constant output.

“You always stood out to me because you explain SEO in a very down-to-earth way. You make it so practical & doable.”I'm BACK with another former SEO & Grow grad & another epic case study episode—and this one has me doing a happy dance! Heidi Thompson, wedding industry marketing expert and SEO program grad, is here sharing exactly what's changed in her business since getting her SEO strategy locked in.Spoiler: her average Google position went from 30 to 8.

You can create great content, stay consistent, and still feel like your podcast is barely moving the needle in your business. And honestly? That's the part nobody really talks about when it comes to podcast growth.Because the issue usually is not effort. It's strategy.Today's conversation is such a powerful example of what can happen when you stop treating your podcast like content for the sake of content… and start building it like a business asset with a real Podcast SEO Strategy behind it.I'm joined by Lindsay Smith, host of Market This, who had already published more than 100 episodes before realizing her show was no longer aligned with the audience she actually wanted to attract or the business she wanted the podcast to support. Like so many business owners, she was showing up consistently, but the podcast was not creating the visibility, leads, or momentum she knew it could.So we repositioned the show.Through stronger podcast seo, clearer messaging, better podcast marketing strategies, and a more intentional content plan, Lindsay's podcast started charting in the Top 100 Marketing Podcasts in both Canada and the US. Her show became easier to discover through search and AI recommendations, especially for entrepreneurs searching for podcasting for business support and long-term business growth.But honestly, the biggest shift was not just visibility. It was sustainability.Instead of constantly wondering what to post or how to grow, the podcast finally started functioning like a system inside her business. One that supported podcast monetization, attracted aligned listeners, and made content creation feel lighter again.And this is where so many people get stuck. They focus on podcast promotion strategies without realizing the foundation itself is what needs to change.If your podcast feels invisible, exhausting, or disconnected from your actual business goals, this conversation will help you rethink what's possible with the right Podcast SEO Strategy in place.Doors are officially open for PODCASTS THAT CONVERT — the program designed to help coaches, creators, and online business owners build a podcast that drives trust, sales, and sustainable podcast growth without relying on social media algorithms or exhausting launches.

But your business still feels scattered — and you're not sure why people aren't finding you.Here's the thing: your brand is not your logo. It's how you make people feel.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down the relationship between SEO and PPC advertising. He explains that while PPC provides short-term visibility and acts as a catalyst for brand awareness, SEO builds the long-term foundation that makes ads more cost-effective. Favour emphasizes that these two strategies should not be siloed; instead, they must work together.

The conversation also touches on the importance of content pillars, Google Search Console, and the value of organizing your digital assets to prevent overwhelm.Who is this for?Business owners, digital marketers, and entrepreneurs looking to understand the differences and synergies between Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising.

PPC is a catalyst that drives immediate traffic, but if your website isn't optimized organically, you will end up paying higher costs per click over time.Q: How long does it take for ads to mature?A: Depending on the platform, it typically takes 7 to 28 days for an ad campaign to exit the learning phase and mature based on the target audience.Q: How do SEO and ads work together?A: When you rank organically for a specific keyword (e.g., "real estate planning") on your website, Google recognizes your authority. When you run ads for that same keyword, your cost per click is often lower because the destination link is highly relevant and authoritative.Action StepsBuild Your Foundation: Ensure your website is connected to Google Search Console so search engines can index your pages.Align Your Keywords: Use the same keywords in your organic content (URLs, titles) that you plan to bid on in your PPC campaigns.Set Up Alerts: Use Google Alerts to track when your brand or business is mentioned online to monitor your growing authority.Organize Content Pillars: Structure your website content into clear pillars and clusters to make it easier for both users and search engines to navigate.Book a Consultation: Reach out to Favour at info@playinc.online or favour@playinc.online to hire his SEO agency and streamline your digital marketing strategy.Ready to Rank?
