Keyword Coverage

Analyze Your Keyword Usage Across All Podcast Content

Keyword Coverage provides a comprehensive analysis of how effectively your tracked keywords are used throughout your podcast's metadata and episode content. This powerful feature helps you optimize your podcast's discoverability by showing exactly where and how often your target keywords appear.

How Keyword Coverage Works

Keyword Impact Hierarchy

Understanding where keywords have the most impact helps prioritize your optimization efforts:

  1. Podcast Title (Highest Impact) - Your podcast name carries the most SEO weight
  2. Author Name - Creator names with keywords enhance discoverability
  3. Podcast Description - Main description text for search and discovery
  4. Episode Titles - Recent episode titles have significant search impact
  5. Episode Descriptions - Episode-level content expands keyword coverage

Advanced SEO Strategy: Focus on placing your most important keywords in higher-impact areas first. A keyword in your podcast title is worth significantly more than the same keyword buried in an episode description.
