Fill the matching form
For a series, enter title, description, genre, language, RSS feed URL, and publisher. For an episode, add the audio URL, episode number, duration, and the date, time, and timezone.
03
Copy the script
Check the ISO 8601 preview for the publish datetime, wait for the required-field warnings to clear, then press Copy script and embed the output on the matching page.
Why Podcast Schema Generator
- Two modes: PodcastSeries for the show itself, PodcastEpisode for individual episodes.
- Episode mode auto-detects the audio MIME from the file URL extension.
- Series mode emits ListenAction pointing at your RSS feed or website.
- ISO 8601 datetime preview as you pick date / time / timezone.
Common questions
Should I use PodcastSeries or PodcastEpisode schema?
Both, on different pages. Put PodcastSeries markup on your show's homepage and a PodcastEpisode block on each episode page, with the episode's partOfSeries pointing back at the show. That mirrors how listeners and crawlers actually navigate a podcast site.
Does podcast schema replace my RSS feed?
No, they serve different readers. RSS is how Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other directories ingest your show. Schema markup is how search engines understand the pages on your own domain. Keep the feed exactly as it is and add markup on top.
How does the podcast schema generator detect the audio format?
It reads the file extension of your audio URL and maps it to a MIME type: .mp3 becomes audio/mpeg, .m4a becomes audio/aac, .ogg becomes audio/ogg, and so on. The result lands in the encodingFormat of the episode's MediaObject without you touching it.
What is webFeed in podcast series json ld?
It's the property that carries your RSS feed URL inside the PodcastSeries block, telling crawlers where the canonical feed lives. The tool also uses it as the target of a ListenAction, falling back to your website URL when no feed is provided.
Can podcast episode schema link an episode to the show?
Yes. Fill in the series name and series URL in episode mode and the output gains a partOfSeries node typed as PodcastSeries. That link is what lets search engines group forty scattered episode pages into one coherent show entity.
Is datePublished required in PodcastEpisode markup?
This tool requires the date, since an episode without a publish date is nearly useless to crawlers. Time and timezone are optional refinements; the preview shows the exact ISO 8601 string, like 2026-06-12T07:00:00+00:00, before you copy anything.
Why add podcast schema when directories already have my RSS?
Because Google ranks your web pages, not your feed. Markup on episode pages makes titles, dates, durations, and the audio file itself machine-readable where the ranking happens, and it ties episodes to your publisher entity in ways RSS never communicates to a search engine.
