Analyze podcasts: Identify optimization potential

[nishat@264]

Paid media ads on Google or Facebook further increase the advertising effect for your podcast and help companies with a smaller reach in particular to make the medium and the associated brand better known. You can also achieve a lot with search engine optimization (SEO). Use meaningful keywords in the descriptions of the podcast and its episodes and thematically appropriate keywords - ideally also directly in the title. The same applies, of course, to the associated landing page. In order to stand out in the variety of podcasts, a distinctive cover is also crucial. Depending on the topic, it should offer a mixture of creativity and seriousness and at the same time fit the content.

Another key factor for success is where the podcast itself can be heard. Common podcast platforms are Spotify or iTunes. Unfortunately, there is no rule of thumb as to which platform is best for your company. Here, too, it is important to know the target group exactly and take them into account.

After all, just because your podcast has a lot of downloads does not mean that it leads to new customers or improves customer loyalty. The number of downloads says nothing about whether a listener has become a qualified prospect who subsequently found out more about your company. So how can the performance of the podcast be measured in this respect?

One indication is the development of subscriber numbers. If many new subscribers are added, this indicates a large reach, which can help achieve the goal of brand awareness.

Another relevant indicator is the length of time spent listening. Which episodes were listened to to the end and which were abandoned prematurely? Also pay attention to your listeners' feedback and enable customer ratings for individual episodes or the entire podcast. If some listeners abandon a particular episode, you should take a close look at the content of the episode and find out what the reason might be.

Last but not least, it is crucial for the overall picture of lead generation to record who clicked on the corresponding landing page after the podcast. The consumer's customer journey may continue here, for example by subscribing to a newsletter. This information can be checked as part of the website analysis.
