Written by Sarah

☑️ Make sure the name isn't already in use

A name already being used for a different show could greatly compromise your podcast's SEO 🤓

☑️ Set yourself apart from other podcasts

Your name should distill the essence of your podcast, communicating not only the

subject matter but also the unique value it will bring 💜

☑️ Choose a name that's easy to remember and repeat

A name that's easy to remember and repeat will encourage more sharing and recommendation of your podcast. Plus, a short title is more punchy and easy to remember 📏

☑️ Avoid using the term "Podcast" in the name

Listening platforms tend to regard the word "Podcast" as superfluous information, and this can be to the detriment of your show's SEO 🙅

☑️ Create an immediate connection with my audience

A podcast name should instantly establish a connection with its target audience, giving them a clear idea of what your podcast will deliver 🤝

☑️ Avoid confusing puns

Although creative, puns can sometimes cause confusion or escape your target audience 🎲

☑️ Test the name with people I know

Don't hesitate to gather feedback from friends and potential listeners to test its impact 🗣️

☑️ Integrate strategic keywords into the name

Including strategic keywords in your content can greatly improve your ranking on listening platforms 🏷️

☑️ Make sure the name is consistent with the language of your content

Make sure your podcast name matches the language of your content 🇬🇧

☑️ Take the time you need to choose

Finally, don't hesitate to take all the time you need to choose the name of your podcast: once launched, it will be more complicated to change it and get your audience used to your new name 🙏
