Why podcast marketing?
Podcasting is a powerful tool for brand awareness, thought leadership, and audience engagement. With millions tuning in to podcasts daily, it’s one of the most effective ways to connect with your audience on a deeper level.
However, creating a podcast isn’t enough – it needs to be heard! Our podcast marketing services ensure your podcast reaches the right people, grows its audience, and delivers measurable results.
Performance
Search engines like Google and Bing like a website to be quick to load. They don’t want to send their users to a site which will frustrate them by taking an age to show the information or provide the service they are looking for. In a crowded marketplace, the difference in search engine ranking between you and your competitor may come down to how quickly Google thinks your page loads in comparison.
Hosting
As a foundation for good performance, we have chosen a hosting service that provides a great connection and whose infrastructure gives good response times to page requests, and allows us to compress the images and other assets that are sent to browsers to build the pages that the end user sees.
Caching
When a page and its assets are cached it means that the server doesn’t need to build it from scratch with calls to the database etc every time a visitor wants to see it which makes the response time from when the visitor hits Enter to when they see the page on their screen much quicker.
For sites we host, we use a caching and optimisation service in WordPress that integrates with the server software to produce the best and most customisable results possible.
