My Podcast Is Not Showing Up When I Search

artprospodcast — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 16:53:06 GMT

Greetings!

I am concerned that my podcast is not showing up when I search for it via search bar on my computer or phone. I'd really like for it to be easier for our new listeners to find us if they decide to use the search function.

Is it just a matter of time for it to appear, or is it a different parameter that we need to meet so that it can be easier to find?

Hello, I'm having the same issue. It showed up only the day of release (5 days ago) and the next day disappeared. Here's the link https://open.spotify.com/show/1ZQDIoDwNFMPd7MwDEEKBc?si=lDtuzRDBQOGgGceMM_0xqw

If you wait a few days, it will appear, how high it appears depends on your
engagement relative to the other search results. From what I can tell the
search is not as focused on returning results based on its exact
relationship to your search query, but instead it accounts for query
relevance x seo x popularity.

For example, when I type in the name of my podcast exactly, the art of
manliness will pop up first because it is more popular, and possibly it has
an episode description with pros in the description.

Try and SEO the F*ck out of your descriptions when it does begin to appear
to give it a leg up

I hope they don't pay you people to say the exact same thing on every single forum request. "Check the FAQ." How about you ACTUALLY help me?

If your podcast is new then you wait a few days it will appear. If you’ve
had it out for a while the algorithm will prioritize more popular podcasts
and their episodes that have SEO copy that has the same terms even if you
type in your exact podcast name, chill out it just a podcast. If you
checked the FAQ you might know to at least wait. If you’ve had your pod out
for a while then sorry to say that your pod is just harder to find because
of how Spotify search works.

Hi Spotify Team,

I can't find my podcast when I searched it although it has been up for 24 hours. The link has been generated as well from anchor.fm. Could you please help? Here is the link: https://open.spotify.com/show/4iS3wq8cm5tmbH6OyGw1z2
Thank you.

Best,
Oh I see Podcast Owner

Hey folks,

Thank you for posting here in the Community!

Note that new shows can sometimes take a little time to appear in search results, but they usually do after a few hours or so. Search results are often impacted by a show's play count, so newer shows may be lower down in results while they're building an audience.

If you're a creator and you'd like more information on the matter (or podcasts in general), the folks over Spotify for Creators specialize in the subject and can assist you further. You can reach out by heading here and selecting 'Contact Us', located at the very bottom of the webpage.

The Community is just a post away should you need help with anything else.

Cheers!

my podcast appears on my search history, but when i click it, it redirects me to this page. i'm unsure why? my page also shows people are still listening to my episodes as well.

when i go to my podcasts editing page, and click the link from my profile there, it takes me to this page:

Hey I’m kinda just wondering the same thing my episode has been up for a few hours

episode not showing up on spotify

hmfriendly — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 07:30:28 GMT

I have one specific episode that I have put on Spotify, but it doesn't show up on Spotify. You can see it on my creator page here:

The episode "ready player one" (which I tried to upload twice) shows up on here. However if you look at my public page:

https://open.spotify.com/show/64H2ENJkB80ZgD5NEASpSA

It is not there.

More strangely, if you look at any of the several third party platforms following the RSS:

https://www.deezer.com/en/show/3681787

This is really frustrating, and it's stopping me from sharing my spotify because I am concerned that spotify will not be consistent in showing my content. Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks!

I cannot find my podcast named *MentifyTz*. I use Spotify for Creators, and my podcast can't be seen. I have, however, distributed the RSS feed to Apple Podcasts, and it is visible there. What should I do?

Hello,

I'm having the same issue with my podcast that we published just last week. The podcast is called "The Urban Experience Radio" in the US and it's recorded in the US and I'm unable to view it
