Why you should have a separate podcast website

It's critical for every podcast to have a real website. Having a website gives you a huge opportunity. Here are some of the benefits:

• You should own your relationship with your listeners
• Websites are universally accessible
• Many new listeners start with Google
• You should own the top spot on Google
• Generate traffic with the best SEO for podcasts practices
• If you own the top spot in Google, you’ll get more listeners through organic searches
• You should control how you introduce your show
• A website makes things simpler for your listeners
• A website gives you a place to post transcripts
• A website allows you to give listeners other ways to interact

The problem is, most podcast hosts (not just Megaphone), don't provide a web experience that accomplishes even half of what's on the list above. Most hosts don't offer the necessary podcast SEO tips that help your show thrive.
