Schema Markup for a Podcast Listing Page

Podcasting is booming! Whether you’re a creator or a publisher, having your podcast appear with rich results in Google Search can help you gain more visibility and attract new listeners. By using Schema Markup, you’re giving search engines the structured data they need to better understand and promote your content.

Note: The actual appearance of podcast snippets in search results may vary. For the latest preview, test your page using Schema Validator.

You’ll find the Schema Pro meta box in the WordPress editor for supported post types.
