My Podcast Is Not Showing Up When I Search

My Podcast Is Not Showing Up When I Search

Greetings!

 

I am concerned that my podcast is not showing up when I search for it via search bar on my computer or phone. I'd really like for it to be easier for our new listeners to find us if they decide to use the search function.

 

Is it just a matter of time for it to appear, or is it a different parameter that we need to meet so that it can be easier to find?

Hey there @artprospodcast,

thanks for posting !

 

Please check out this FAQ's page on podcast.

You can also use it to reach the factors who are responsable for the Podcasts on Spotify.

 

Hope this helps 😃

that happens to me when i look up my playlists, i believe you can't look up your own playlists or podcasts.

Hello, I'm having the same issue. It showed up only the day of release (5 days ago) and the next day disappeared. Here's the link https://open.spotify.com/show/1ZQDIoDwNFMPd7MwDEEKBc?si=lDtuzRDBQOGgGceMM_0xqw

hey i just checked your podcast.. now its showing up! am also facing the same problem. Do you have the answer now?

If you wait a few days, it will appear, how high it appears depends on your
engagement relative to the other search results. From what I can tell the
search is not as focused on returning results based on its exact
relationship to your search query, but instead it accounts for query
relevance x seo x popularity.

For example, when I type in the name of my podcast exactly, the art of
manliness will pop up first because it is more popular, and possibly it has
an episode description with pros in the description.

Try and SEO the F*ck out of your descriptions when it does begin to appear
to give it a leg up

I hope they don't pay you people to say the exact same thing on every single forum request. "Check the FAQ." How about you ACTUALLY help me?

If your podcast is new then you wait a few days it will appear. If you’ve
had it out for a while the algorithm will prioritize more popular podcasts
and their episodes that have SEO copy that has the same terms even if you
type in your exact podcast name, chill out it just a podcast. If you
checked the FAQ you might know to at least wait. If you’ve had your pod out
for a while then sorry to say that your pod is just harder to find because
of how Spotify search works.

Hi Spotify Team,

I can't find my podcast when I searched it although it has been up for 24 hours. The link has been generated as well from anchor.fm. Could you please help? Here is the link: https://open.spotify.com/show/4iS3wq8cm5tmbH6OyGw1z2
Thank you.

Best,
Oh I see Podcast Owner

i had the same question currently. i just put up an episode and neither the episode or my account itself isnt possible to look up, so i dont know where the problem is

my podcast appears on my search history, but when i click it, it redirects me to this page. i'm unsure why? my page also shows people are still listening to my episodes as well.

 

when i go to my podcasts editing page, and click the link from my profile there, it takes me to this page:
