Understanding Search Results

After applying your search filters, Podseeker presents a comprehensive list of podcasts that match your criteria. The search results are designed to give you quick insight into whether or not a podcast is a good fit for you. Some of the key information includes:

Clicking on the podcast will take you to the podcast's page where you can learn more about the podcast and contact information.

You can add podcasts to your media lists. Your media lists are shared with your team so you can collaborate on your outreach efforts. You can also export your media lists to a CSV file and upload it to your CRM or marketing automation platform (Ex: ActiveCampaign, Hubspot, etc.)

To add a podcast to a media list, simply click the "Add to List" button on any podcasts in the search results.

Create Personalized Pitch

You can create a personalized pitch for a podcast by clicking the "Create Pitch" button on any podcasts in the search results. The AI will analyze the podcast's content combined with your client's profile and generate a customized pitch.

Recommended Filters

When starting your search, if you're looking to find podcasts to get your client booked on, we recommend these 2 filters: Has guest and Active. You can find these filters on the top left side of the search page.

By applying these "recommended settings," you'll cut down the noise and generate a list of potential shows that are more likely to be a good fit.

For more targeted results, consider these additional filters:

• Audience Size: Filter by estimated monthly listeners to target podcasts with your desired reach.
• Has Email: Ensures the podcast has contact information available, making outreach possible.
• Location: Target podcasts in specific regions or countries relevant to your audience.
• Social Media Following: Target podcasts with a sizable social media following.

By applying these filters, you'll significantly improve the quality of your search results and focus on podcasts that are most likely to be receptive to your pitches.

Advanced Search Filters

Podseeker's power lies in its advanced filtering capabilities. These filters help you narrow down search results to find podcasts that are not just relevant, but also a good fit for your outreach strategy.

Exclude Certain Categories

If your initial search results have too many podcasts that are not niche enough, the Exclude Categories feature is your best friend. Here's why and how to use it:

For example, if you search for Spiritual podcasts without any filters, there will be a lot of Christianity podcasts in the results. You can exclude Christianity by using the Exclude Categories filter to narrow down your results to more relevant podcasts.

Example: Spiritual (non-religious)

When searching for podcasts about spirituality, you'll get a lot of results that are a combination of religion and spirituality.

To exclude these religious podcasts, you can use the Exclude Categories filter to narrow down your results to more relevant podcasts. In this example, I excluded Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

By applying these category exclusions, you'll cut down the noise and generate a list of potential shows that are more likely to be a good fit for your specific topic focus.

Sorting Your Results

Once you've filtered your search results, you can sort them using different metrics to prioritize the most relevant podcasts for your outreach strategy. The sort options are located in the top left of the search results.

You can sort your results by:

• Audience Size: Orders podcasts by their estimated monthly listeners, helping you target shows with the largest reach
• Latest Episode: Shows the most recently active podcasts first, ensuring you're reaching out to currently active shows
• YouTube Subscribers: Prioritizes podcasts with strong YouTube presence, perfect for targeting shows with video content
• Instagram Followers: Sorts by Instagram following, useful when social media presence is important for your strategy

Choose the sorting method that aligns with your outreach goals. For example, if you're looking for maximum exposure, sort by audience size. If you want to ensure the podcast is actively publishing, sort by latest episode date.
