Boost Your Brand and SEO: Explore Google's AI Podcast Generator for Cutting-Edge Content

You can listlen to this article in the podcast form here:

Google has recently unveiled a groundbreaking AI tool, but it’s not your typical text generator. This new tool is designed to swiftly create podcasts from .md files, PDFs, or even websites, transforming traditional content into engaging auditory experiences.

Impressive Features

The tool operates impressively, simulating a two-person dialogue in its podcasts, which, for now, is only available in English. The scripts are meticulously crafted, making the podcasts a pleasure to listen to. After testing it on various topics, I can confidently say that listening to these podcasts is far more engaging than reading the texts themselves. The high-quality voices come with appropriate intonations, pauses, and expressions, making the overall sound natural and approachable.

Marketing and SEO Benefits

From a marketing and SEO perspective, this tool is a gem. It not only enhances marketing efforts but also contributes to the SEO of your website. Let’s dive deeper into its practical applications and benefits.

Easy Access and Operation

The tool is accessible through Google Scripts and has also been integrated into NotebookLM, facilitating easy and straightforward usage. Users simply need to create a new note, add one or more sources—be it a text document (.md), PDF, or a website link—and let Google’s AI do the rest. Once the content is processed, your note can interactively respond to queries, or even better, convert into a podcast with just a few clicks.

Publishing and Distribution

Once your podcast is ready, publishing it is a breeze. You can choose to manually upload it to platforms such as: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Castbox, Amazon Music, RadioPublic, Pocket Casts, iHeartRadio, Overcast, Goodpods.

Alternatively, tools like Podcastle.AI (free) and Libsyn (paid) offer hosting services that can help distribute your podcast across major platforms such as Google Podcast, Apple, and Spotify.

Here’s how to do it step by step.

1. Log in using your Google account at the NotebookLM website: Google NotebookLM

2. Click on “New Notebook”

3. In this step, you can specify sources for the note. Each note can include several different sources. (1) You can upload a document (txt, PDF, Markdown). (2) You can select a file or files from Google Docs. (3) You can provide a link to a specific website or blog; or you can simply paste in plain text (4).

4. We select the “Website URL” option and enter the blog link.

5. The AI model reads our source and shortly provides a summary along with an option to generate a “deep dive conversation.” Just click “Generate” and within about 2-3 minutes, you’ll have your podcast ready.

6. To download it, click the three dots on the right side and choose “download.”

SEO Enhancement Through Podcasting

Creating a podcast can amplify your marketing efforts and promote your brand, but it also serves as an effective SEO tool. Each link back to your website from podcast platforms counts. In an era where link diversity matters, having a variety of links, including nofollow and noreferer ones, can protect your site from being flagged by Google’s algorithms for potential spammy practices.

The Misconceptions About Link Types

Contrary to outdated views, nofollow and noreferer links are not worthless. Recent leaks from Google’s documentation have shown that these links are indeed valuable, providing a healthy balance to your site’s link profile and indicating to Google that your linking practices are diverse and natural.

Conclusion

Google’s new AI podcast generator opens up new avenues for marketers and small businesses to explore. It’s not just a tool for creating content; it’s a means to enhance your digital presence, engage listeners, and improve your site’s SEO effectively. I highly encourage experimenting with this tool to fully leverage its potential in your marketing strategy.
