However we can make some educated guesses based on multiple podcasters that have experimented and shared their success stories online. The following tips will help boost your by helping audiences find your podcast content on iTunes, increase your podcast ranking and create additional opportunities for discovery, downloads and subscriptions. 01) Research Your SEO Keywords iTunes allows 12 keywords per podcast episode. Take advantage of this SEO opportunity. Research important keywords and phrases that you should be using in the metadata for both your podcast show description and for each episode. Sites like and are great places to start. Don’t worry about long-tail keywords. ITunes users don’t enter lengthy searches into the program when searching for podcasts. Think about one or two word phrases and include keywords like famous names, movie titles, characters, companies, associated projects, etc.

Taking the time to add a few keywords will quickly boost your podcast SEO. 02) Great Artwork Spend some extra time on the album artwork for your podcast. Not only will it help attract users, but rumor has it, they contributes to your podcast ranking. Allegedly one of the factors that iTunes uses to determine if a podcast is popular is clicks. So the more clicks your podcast gets, the better. If you have the time, it’s a great idea to create specific artwork for each episode.

This will really help your content get noticed. You don’t even need a large budget.

Services like Fiverr even have designers that can. 03) Short Descriptive Episode Titles. Keep your episode titles short and sweet. Often times, only the first 4-5 words will be shown in previews and search results. Limit the characters in your titles and try to be descriptive. Don’t waste your title field characters with episode numbers and dates. If you insist on including episode numbers and recording dates in your metadata, then add them at the end of your title or descriptions, not at the beginning. Otherwise you’re wasting the few characters that iTunes users will see when they search for your content.

04) Individual Episode Descriptions Don’t use your generic show description as your episode descriptions. Instead, describe in detail each episode, the participants and what was discussed. Remember the famous line from the movie Field of Dreams “If you build it, they will come”? If you record a podcast will your audience find it? Not necessarily. Use your researched target keywords (see above) to help you with your description. The better your description, the more likely your content will be found.

I always feel sorry for podcasters when I only see the same generic show descriptions for each episode. They are spending countless hours creating episodes that are basically invisible to search engines and potential audiences. 05) Single Topic Shows Don’t cram too many topics into one show. The days of the rambling podcaster are over. Modern audiences prefer their content short and sweet. Sure there’s room for long-form podcast content, but instead of making one big show with lots of topics, consider covering the same amount of material but cutting it up into creating 2-3 episodes. Here’s why • Gives you more room to write your metadata (keywords, titles and descriptions). • Makes your show easier to listen to.

Try to fit your show in that window. • Makes your show more active and popular. The more episode downloads you get, the more popular iTunes will rank your show. • Helps you understand better the types of content your audience enjoys. 06) Promote Podcast Subscriptions Ask your audience to subscribe to your podcast. Once someone finds your podcast in iTunes, there are two ways for them to enjoy your show: download a single episode or subscribe. You want subscribers. ITunes places more value on subscribers and the better your ratio of subscribers vs episode sampling is, the better your show will rank.
