Embedding a Spotify podcast episode is a fantastic way to enrich your posts, increase engagement, and potentially boost your SEO. Whether you’re looking to add expert commentary, share entertaining content, or simply diversify your media, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of seamlessly integrating Spotify podcasts into your WordPress blog.
Whether you’re sharing an episode where you were featured, or writing about your own podcast episodes, embedding the actual episodes so your readers can listen in directly from your post is always a good idea.
Here’s how to embed the Spotify podcast player on your post:
- Head over to Spotify (on your browser) and copy the share url of the specific episode you want to share. How do you do this? Click on the 3 dots, select Share, then COPY EPISODE LINK
2. On another tab, go to the post editing window (assuming you’ve already started writing your blog post and just need to embed the Spotify player). Click on the + sign that adds a block.
3. The block options open up on the left side, scroll down to embeds, and find Spotify. Click on it to add the block.
4. Click the “Enter URL to embed here…” field. And paste the url you copied from Spotify.
5. Click embed.
6. You should see the episode player on your post. Hit publish when you’re done.
