Here are a few tips to help maximize your show’s potential on Apple Podcasts:

  • Choose the category that best reflects the content of your show. If applicable, you may also define a subcategory. This helps us surface your show in relevant sections throughout Apple Podcasts.
  • Attract listeners with a well-written description. The first sentence is a powerful opportunity to connect with your audience.
  • Separate episode numbers from your show title. Instead, use the <itunes:episode> tag to specify episode numbers. Doing so makes it possible for Apple Podcasts to easily index and order content.
