SEO Terms Policy

As of June 26, 2025, we have updated our policy to prohibit the use of generic terms (SEO) as release titles, track titles, or artist names. Each DSP operates under its own set of Content Style Guidelines, and Symphonic must therefore adhere to a broad range of content regulations to ensure compliance across all platforms. The inclusion of SEO terms in metadata is against many DSP guidelines.

Generic Terms as Names or Titles

Do not use generic names or SEO terms as artist names, album titles, or track titles.  Product titles or versions that appear to be intended to mislead or confuse listeners or are designed solely to rank for search terms or algorithms are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:

Genres or descriptors such as: White Noise, Yoga, Music for Dogs, Lo-Fi, Speed Up, Workout, Meditation, Baby, Christmas, Top Hits, Chorus, Orchestra, Singer, Rock, Hip Hop, Smooth Jazz, etc.

Search terms such as: Sleep Music, Music for Concentration, Chill, Chillout, Lullabies, Speed Music, Lo-Fi Beats, etc.

Specific, creative, or branded names that differentiate the product or artist are allowed.

Examples:

❌ Incorrect: Workout 

✅ Correct:  Cardio Rhythm Project

❌ Incorrect: Music for Dogs    

✅ Correct: Pet Care Therapy Players

❌ Incorrect: Baby Music

 ✅ Correct: Baby Lullaby Academy

Multiple Artists Used to Increase the Visibility of Products

Do not use multiple artist names on a single product solely to boost discoverability or visibility. Artist collaborations should be genuine and accurately credited.

Example:

❌ Incorrect: Primary Artists: Cardio Rhythm Project, Pet Care Therapy Players, Baby Lullaby Academy

 ✅ Correct: Primary Artists: Cardio Rhythm Project

No SEO-Driven Titles

Avoid using product titles or track versions that are designed solely to exploit common search engine keywords. These reduce content quality, confuse listeners, and clutter digital service provider platforms.

Examples:

❌ Incorrect:

• Sleep Music for Deep Rest
• Music for Concentration and Focus
• Chillout Vibes
• Best Baby Music
• Relaxing Meditation Sounds
• Lofi Hip Hop Beats to Relax/Study To
• Chill Sleep Playlist
• Workout Hits 2025

✅ Correct:

• Dream Echoes: Music for Nightfall
• Lucid Waves
• The Focus Suite, Vol. 1
• Cradle Songs
• Calming Pulse
• Fireside Reverie
• Beneath Still Waters

If you've previously distributed content using such terms via Symphonic and can no longer find it on a DSP, it may have been removed due to these policy updates.
