There are a lot of SEO podcasts out there, but many of them quietly stop publishing. This list only includes shows that are still releasing new episodes on a regular schedule.
Updated October 2026: I checked every podcast’s recent episodes, removed the ones that went quiet, and added active shows in their place. Here are the 14 best SEO podcasts to listen to right now.
Best SEO Podcasts
SEO is changing faster than ever, with AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI search tools changing how people find information.
Podcasts are an easy way to keep up with the latest SEO trends without spending hours reading.
Every show below published at least one new episode in recent months and sticks to a steady schedule. They cover everything from technical SEO and link building to AI search and SEO careers.
1. Niche Pursuits
Niche Pursuits is still my favorite podcast. Jared Bauman and Spencer Haws publish at least one new episode every week.
The show has broadened from niche sites into online business in general. You get interviews with founders and site owners who share real numbers, plus regular news episodes where the hosts break down what is changing in Google and AI search.
It is a great pick if you run content sites or want to see how SEO fits into a bigger business.
Podcast Frequency: Weekly, sometimes twice a week
Hosts: Jared Bauman & Spencer Haws
2. Authority Hacker
Gael Breton and Mark Webster have run Authority Hacker since 2016. It started as an SEO and affiliate marketing show, and today it focuses on how to use AI and automation to grow an online business.
They test new tools and workflows themselves and show you exactly what worked, which makes it easy to copy their experiments.
If you want to keep up with how AI is changing marketing work, this is one of the most practical shows around.
Podcast Frequency: Weekly
Hosts: Gael Breton & Mark Webster
3. Search Off the Record (Editor's Choice)
Search Off the Record is Google’s own podcast, made by the Search Relations team. It takes you behind the scenes of Google Search: how decisions get made, why features launch, and how Google thinks about topics like crawling, sitemaps and structured data.
Because it comes straight from Google, it is the best way to hear how Search works in the words of the people who build and explain it.
Episodes don’t come out on a fixed schedule. Google often releases a few at once and then goes quiet for a few weeks, so subscribe to catch new ones.
Podcast Frequency: About once a month, often in batches
Hosts: Google’s Search Relations team, including John Mueller, Martin Splitt and Gary Illyes
4. Voices of Search
Voices of Search publishes short episodes almost every weekday, so there is always something new to listen to.
Each episode tackles one focused question about SEO, content marketing or AI search. Many episodes are under 15 minutes, which makes them easy to fit into a commute.
It has more than 1,900 episodes, so you can also dig into the archive for almost any search topic.
Podcast Frequency: Almost every weekday

Podcast Frequency: Weekly (Mondays)
Hosts: Jack Chambers-Ward
6. The SEO Mindset Podcast
The SEO Mindset is different from every other show on this list. Instead of algorithms, Sarah and Tazmin focus on the people doing SEO.
They cover topics that rarely get airtime in our industry, like imposter syndrome, burnout, setting goals and building resilience, with tips you can actually use.
If you want to grow your SEO career and not only your rankings, give it a listen.
Podcast Frequency: Weekly
Hosts: Sarah & Tazmin
7. The Page 2 Podcast
The Page 2 Podcast is a weekly interview show about SEO, AEO and GEO, hosted by Jon Clark and Joe DeVita.

Podcast Frequency: Weekly
Hosts: Jon Clark & Joe DeVita
8. Marketing O'Clock
Marketing O’Clock is the show to follow for digital marketing news. Every week, the Cypress North team goes through the biggest updates in SEO, PPC and social media.
They don’t just read the headlines. They explain what each change means for your campaigns and your KPIs.
It covers more than SEO, which helps if you work alongside paid search or social teams.
Podcast Frequency: Weekly
Hosts: The Cypress North team
9. The Search Session
The Search Session is a weekly interview show from Advanced Web Ranking, hosted by international SEO consultant Gianluca Fiorelli.

Crawling Mondays is the show from Aleyda Solis, one of the best-known international SEO consultants and founder of Orainti.

11. SEO 101
SEO 101 has been running since 2009, which makes it one of the longest-running SEO podcasts out there.
Hosts Ross Dunn and Scott Van Achte go through the latest search news and explain it without drowning you in technical detail.
It’s the best starting point on this list if you’re new to SEO.
Podcast Frequency: Every two weeks
Hosts: Ross Dunn & Scott Van Achte
12. The Majestic SEO Podcast
The Majestic SEO Podcast is a monthly panel where a group of SEO experts debate the biggest issues in the industry, hosted by David Bain.
Hearing several experienced SEOs disagree with each other is often more useful than a single expert’s opinion. Recent panels covered the state of AI in SEO and how to deal with fake DMCA takedowns.
David also runs one-on-one interviews with SEO experts as part of the series.
Podcast Frequency: Monthly
Hosts: David Bain
13. BuzzStream Digital PR and Link Building Podcast
If link building is part of your job, this is the podcast to follow. Host Vince Nero interviews link builders, SEOs and digital PR experts every week.
You get practical tips for earning coverage and links, from pitching journalists to finding stories worth telling.
It’s one of the few active shows that focuses this closely on links and digital PR.
Podcast Frequency: Weekly
Hosts: Vince Nero
14. Ahrefs Podcast
The Ahrefs Podcast is hosted by Ahrefs CMO Tim Soulo and has unscripted conversations with founders, CMOs and marketers who have built something.
It’s broader than pure SEO: expect topics like positioning, brand, growth and hiring, alongside episodes on search, such as AI search trends.
Pick this one if you want to see how SEO fits into marketing strategy as a whole.
Podcast Frequency: Every two weeks
Hosts: Tim Soulo
How to Choose the Right SEO Podcast
Check that it’s still active. SEO changes quickly, so a show that stopped publishing a year ago is mostly giving you outdated advice. Look at the date of the latest episode before you subscribe.
Match the format to your time. Short daily episodes like Voices of Search fit a commute, while long interviews like Page 2 or Search With Candour are better when you have time to take notes.
Pick for your level and focus. SEO 101 is great for beginners, Search Off the Record suits technical SEOs, and BuzzStream is for link builders.
Mix news and depth. Combine a weekly news show like Marketing O’Clock with one or two interview shows, and you’ll stay up to date while still learning new tactics.
Wrap-Up
There are countless SEO podcasts available, but only some of them are still worth your time.
These 14 are all active, well-known and highly recommended to help you succeed on your SEO journey.
Start with one or two that match your level and focus, and add more once you know what you like.
