Want More Listeners? Start With the Right Keywords

Paid content

Half of all podcast listeners discover new shows directly on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and 70% of them start by typing a keyword in the search bar. If your metadata doesn’t include the same words your audience is searching for, your podcast simply won’t appear in their results.

The key is to target keywords that are both searched often and possible to rank for. That means balancing Search Volume and Difficulty Score to find the sweet spot where your podcast can actually stand out.
