How to use transcripts for growth

A transcript is more than text—it is an SEO asset and a repurposing engine. Here is how to get the most from it.

1. SEO & Accessibility

Search engines cannot listen to audio. Posting a podcast transcript helps Google index your topics. It also makes your show accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.

2. The Repurposing Workflow

Don't just post it. Copy quotes for social media. Summarize sections for your newsletter. Use the text to write a blog post that drives traffic back to the audio.

3. Accuracy & Editing

We provide a clean .txt file. It is perfect for search and summary. If you need a word-perfect legal record, use the text as a starting point and do a quick pass for proper nouns.
