So you’re thinking of setting up a Podcast to boost your brand’s awareness, but you aren’t quite sure whether it will make an impact for your business – or whether it’ll just be you talking to yourself for an hour every week.

Don’t worry! Here are some compelling benefits of starting a podcast that might inspire you to take the leap and shape the future of your business.

Humanising the brand and the company

Having a Podcast gives you the opportunity to humanise your business in a way that few other mediums can. A warm, welcoming voice doesn’t just make your brand more relatable; it adds a personal touch that draws listeners in. A likeable personality on the mic can intrigue your audience, building a connection that ultimately leads to more customers.

In other words, your podcast can help you create a positive relationship with your listeners and give you an edge above the competition!

Engaging the target audience

What better way is there to engage with your target audience than with a weekly episode answering their most pressing questions and featuring exciting guest speakers?

A podcast gives you the opportunity to keep your listeners wanting more.

You can cater to niche audiences, allowing your brand to reach listeners who are genuinely interested in specific topics. So having expert speakers on your episode will draw back listeners and turn them into loyal customers.

When a Podcast aligns with a brand’s target market, it can deliver brand messages to the right people and keep them hooked.

Authority and leadership

Hosting a Podcast gives you a platform to share valuable insights, expertise and trends, and more importantly it builds credibility and trust. This positions you as a leader in your industry, someone that is knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Overtime, this not only boots your reputation, but it sets you apart from competitors, making your familiar brand the go-to choice for consumers seeking reliable knowledge.

Let’s circle back to having influential guest speakers. By inviting a speaker who is already perceived as an industry expert come on to  YOUR show, you are telling your audience that you are worth listening to and they will keep coming back to learn more.

By educating, engaging and inspiring your listeners, your Podcast becomes a resource people look to for guidance.

Searchable content- optimises SEO

If optimising your brand’s Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a priority, then having a Podcast is worth considering. Regularly generating fresh, relevant content that search engines love can greatly enhance your businesses discoverability.

 Each episode gives you the opportunity to show notes, descriptions, and transcripts – all of which can be optimised with targeted keywords. When these key words align with what your target audience is searching for, your chances of ranking higher on search engine results pages significantly increase, driving more visibility and traffic to your brand.

Your Podcast can also be featured on other platforms (apple Podcasts Spotify, Google Podcasts, etc) each providing links back to your website, increasing your digital footprint and boosting SEO. This cross-platform exposure amplifies your brand’s visibility and drives more traffic to your website. The more connections you create, the more authority and credibility your company has in the eyes of search engines like Google.
