Podcast Website — Show Notes, SEO & Sponsor Inquiries
Spotify and YouTube are rented audience. A podcast website on your domain ranks episode show notes on Google, hosts your media kit for sponsors, and owns the email list.
Each episode gets a permanent URL with transcript, timestamps, and guest bios — compounding SEO while feeds stay on anchor platforms.
Whether you are fixing an existing site or planning a new build, these practices apply across WordPress, Next.js, and hybrid stacks. TechBisht ships them on low-budget landings from ₹1,000 through full-stack SaaS projects.
Small fixes (meta titles, broken links) are free wins you can do this week. Structural changes — new checkout, CRM wiring, migration off hacked WordPress — need a developer with written scope so timelines stay predictable.
Essential pages and sections
| Section | Why it matters | | ------- | -------------- | | Episode archive | One URL per episode — shareable, indexable | | Transcripts | Long-tail SEO; accessibility win | | Subscribe links | Apple, Spotify, YouTube — don't host audio only here | | Sponsorship page | Downloads, demographics, CPM expectations | | About host | Credibility for guests and brands | | Contact | Guest booking + sponsor form |
SEO keywords worth targeting
Target episode topic + guest name, [niche] podcast India, and question-style titles matching how listeners search. Link new episodes from a business blog hub page.

Common mistakes to avoid

When to DIY vs hire help
