Selecting and Managing Categories for Your Podcast RSS Feed
How can I choose a category for my podcast's RSS feed?
To submit your RSS feed to Apple Podcasts and make your podcast more discoverable, you need to choose a category that best reflects the content of your podcast. Here’s how you can do it:
- Go to your Content Settings page on SoundCloud.
- Select a category that aligns with your podcast’s subject matter.
This will help listeners interested in that subject area to easily find your podcast in Apple Podcasts.
Why is choosing the right category important for my podcast?
Choosing the right category is crucial because it directly impacts how easily listeners can find your podcast in Apple Podcasts and other podcast platforms. By selecting a category that accurately represents your podcast’s content, you improve its searchability and increase the likelihood of reaching your target audience.
Can I choose a subcategory or a second category for my podcast on SoundCloud?
Currently, SoundCloud does not allow you to choose a subcategory or a second category for your podcast. You can only select one primary category for your RSS feed.
What are some examples of popular podcast categories, and how do they impact searchability?
Examples of popular podcast categories include:
- Technology: Ideal for podcasts about the latest in tech, gadgets, and innovation.
- Health & Wellness: Best suited for content focusing on fitness, mental health, and lifestyle.
- True Crime: For podcasts covering criminal cases, investigations, and legal discussions.
