82: Why Your Podcast Isn't Getting Found and What to Fix First Artwork

Podcast Growth and SEO Strategies for Entrepreneurs: Podcasting Problem Solver

Your podcast isn't growing because you're solving the wrong problem.

You're posting consistently, sharing clips, showing up everywhere — and your downloads are still stuck. Your show isn't generating leads because you're chasing bad advice instead of investigating the real issue blocking your podcast's growth.

This show does the deep work you haven't had time to do on your own podcast strategy.

We'll cover questions like:

Why isn't my podcast growing even though I'm doing everything "right"?

How does podcast SEO actually work on Apple Podcasts and Spotify?

Which podcast categories should I choose to improve discoverability?

How do I optimize for search without my podcast sounding robotic?

How can I batch record and save 3-5 hours per episode?

What's keeping my podcast from converting listeners into leads?

How do I create content based on what people are actually searching for?

Should I use keywords or my brand name in my podcast title?

How do I know if my podcast strategy is actually working?

Can I grow my podcast without being all over social media?

What metrics should I track besides download numbers?

82: Why Your Podcast Isn't Getting Found and What to Fix First

Your podcast isn't growing, and it's not because your content isn't good. But the name, description, and titles you're using aren't telling the algorithm or a brand-new listener what your show is about. This episode is for podcasters who are tired of being invisible to everyone outside their existing audience.

We're getting into why podcast discoverability is the most underworked lever in podcasting, what signals your show is sending right now, and the story of a client whose downloads had plateaued for 18 months, until we fixed her metadata and she started showing up in search results she'd never seen before.

If you've ever wondered why people aren't finding your show, this episode will show you exactly where to look first.
