Best Tips for Naming Your Crime Podcast

Keep it short: Aim for a concise name that’s easy to remember and won’t be truncated in podcast directories.

Use 1-3 keywords max: Make your podcast searchable/SEO-rich by adding 1-3 keywords in the name, but avoid keyword stuffing it.

Keep it relevant: Make sure your podcast name reflects your show’s topic or theme.

Say it out loud: Test your podcast name by saying it aloud to make sure it sounds good and rolls off the tongue.

Make it easy to say/spell: Avoid complicated or obscure words and spellings that might confuse potential listeners.

Avoid the word ‘podcast’: Your show is already listed in podcast directories, so you don’t need to include the word ‘podcast’ in the name.

Avoid existing show names: Research similar podcast names and avoid using one that’s already taken to prevent confusion.

Get feedback from peers: Ask for honest feedback from friends or colleagues to gauge their thoughts and impressions of your podcast name.

Use name generators: Utilize podcast name generators to help brainstorm ideas and generate unique and creative names.
