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

Podcast SEO and Strategy for Entrepreneurs Ready to Book Clients: Podcasting Problem Solver

You've shown up every week, shared every episode, and done everything the podcasting playbooks told you to do. Your downloads are fine. The right listeners can't find you, and the ones who do aren't converting.

Podcasting Problem Solver goes underneath that.

Questions this show answers:

What is my podcast supposed to do for my business?

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

How do I figure out what's missing with my podcast?

How does podcast SEO work in the podcast players?

Which podcast categories should I choose to improve discoverability?

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

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

Why aren't my podcast listeners booking discovery calls?

How do I connect podcast episodes to my offers without sounding sales-y?

Can I fix a podcast that's been running for years without starting over?

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

What metrics should I track besides download numbers?

Is my podcast worth continuing?

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.
