Search engines only process text. Search engines are the only method Prospective Listeners will use to decide if they listen to your podcast. And most show notes are something that b graduates skim or more likely just write at the last minute, usually in four minutes.
We take care of the mundane tasks. Someone listens to the episode and jots down the timestamp of notable moments, as well as if and where each mentioned link points to. This process takes about an hour, exactly why it’s skipped at most other places.
Notes are rarely performed, but are read by someone who has just spent 40 minutes with your voice in their ears. They are written in press-release format and break that spell. Maintaining the voice of the episode that the listener imagines came from a person who actually listened to the episode makes the listener believe the summary and links are the chosen selections from that person as well.
Notes based on transcripts typically include every topic mentioned once in the transcript, but miss the episode’s main point, far more spoken information, and timestamps are frequently fake. As for guest names that are strange, the summary spells the name incorrectly three times, all tucked neatly within one summary paragraph.
The writer chose to listen at normal speed over double listening because timestamps from a sped-up listen have been known to lag by a few seconds. Notes are then constructed in the order a reader would need them: episode description and summary, cast members, the start time of each topic, and where the show mentions links and terms.
Since all notes are drafted post-recording, they can be used as edit maps. Your editor knows where the good sections begin with the timestamp. Marking pull quotes signals that the editor should post that clip to social media. Any promise a host makes to provide a link gets captured before the episode goes live without providing the promised link.

Yes. Send the template, a previous example, or the structure you are required to use, and the writer works inside it. If a required section does not fit the material honestly, they will flag it rather than pad it out.
Ask on the contact page and a person will answer, usually the same working day. For a live order, reply to your confirmation email and it reaches whoever is handling it.
Audio and a transcript if you have one. A transcript isn’t able to show who said what or what the person’s name was, it can be difficult to find that good part from that one conversation you were having. Upload the finished audio rather than the original recording so that timestamps line up.
Yes, it is a standard request. Older episodes with thin notes are the least expensive traffic you have. We go through back catalogs of five in one batch, which means you can take a look at the format before committing to the entire batch.

Reviews from completed, paid orders in this category.
Our audience left before 40 seconds because it was too slow. The section after the two minute mark is very good. A colder open was requested and we delivered and the drop off on the retention graph finally flattened where it use to be a steady decline.
I described my vision of a happy ending. Now, I have their version in return which is quieter and more sad. They included an explanation, a reasoning behind their choice, and a way for me to have it my way by writing a different (happy ending) version if I prefer. I kept their original.
My novel took four years, and the back cover took three sentences and had me stumped for six weeks. The writer must have read the full manuscript (instead of the synopsis) which I know because the copy references a scene from chapter fourteen.
