About this episode
Your podcast title is the first thing potential listeners see—so make it count! Here’s how to create a title that’s clear, searchable, and compelling:- Keep It Short – Stay under 40 characters so it doesn’t get cut off in directories.
- Use Keywords – Think about what your audience is searching for and include those words.
- Prioritize Clarity – Avoid overly clever names that don’t immediately explain your show.
- Optimize Episode Titles Too – Every episode title should help listeners (and search engines) find your content. Want the full breakdown? Listen to this week’s episode of Podcasting Tips Weekly!
