You’ve heard of Podcast SEO. You’ve probably even tried using AI to “optimize” your podcast. But if your show still isn’t showing up for the right keywords when listeners for search your topic, you don’t need more episodes or more downloads to get found. You need to know how to get Apple and Spotify to match you with the right people.
