The PSO (Podcast Search Optimization) Control Panel is Ausha’s flagship tool for improving a podcast’s visibility in search results on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Coined and developed by Ausha, PSO applies SEO-style principles specifically to podcast platforms, enabling creators to identify high-impact keywords, track their ranking positions over time, and receive actionable recommendations to optimize episode titles, descriptions, and tags. The tool includes a Global Visibility Score, a Keyword Tracker, a PSO Checker for real-time episode optimization scoring, a Live Search feature to see top-100 results per keyword, and a PSO Category Benchmark to compare a show against top performers in its category.<\/p>\n
Originally available only to Ausha-hosted users on the Boost plan and above, the PSO Control Panel has since been expanded as a standalone add-on compatible with any podcast hosting platform. It is also available as part of Ausha PRO, a higher-tier offering aimed at agencies, media groups, and enterprise podcast networks, which includes expert consulting, a four-workshop PSO training program, and strategic support. The self-serve version offers a 7-day free trial, while the PRO tier starts at $199\/month.<\/p>\n
Reviewers and early adopters have reported meaningful ranking improvements after using the tool, with some podcasts reaching top positions on Apple Podcasts and Spotify within days of optimizing their metadata. The platform is used by major organizations including BBC Studios, Big Pond Podcasts, Resonate Recordings, and BlackRock, and is rated 4.8 on Capterra and 4.9 on G2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
