GEO for Podcasters: How to Get Cited by AI Engines
You’ve got great episodes.
A solid niche.
And maybe even a few notable guests.
But when someone asks Claude or ChatGPT:
“What are the top podcasts about indie startups?”
…your show doesn’t get mentioned.
It’s not a quality problem—it’s a visibility problem.
Here’s how to fix that using Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
Why Podcasts Get Skipped
AI models recommend based on:
- Public mention frequency
- Structured summaries
- Contextual clarity (what the show is about)
- Inclusion in roundups, lists, and guides
If your show only lives on podcast platforms and your site, it likely doesn’t appear in enough of the AI’s source material.
