Are You Maximizing the Power of Your Podcast Analytics?
Podcast analytics aren’t just the number of downloads—they’re insights that can transform your strategy. Watch for the full episode tomorrow to learn more ways to use analytics to boost your podcast and business.
In the short video, Philippa Games shares how to:
1️⃣ Track Listener Habits: Understand how much of your content people consume and where they drop off. This shows what’s working and what needs improvement.
2️⃣ Optimize Your Podcast Website Content: Don't let great episodes fade into obscurity as they move down your site. Analytics can reveal how far users scroll and help you keep valuable content visible.
3️⃣ Leverage Old Content: Your older episodes are gold! Promote and repurpose them strategically instead of focusing only on new releases. So if you're stuck on what to publish next, maybe revisit an old episode and see how you can repurpose it to create new content.
Don’t let your hard work go to waste. Use analytics to make smarter decisions and keep your audience engaged.

0:00 Okay, so can you give us three examples where analytics can help someone to boost their sale or increase their influence? So I think one we've already discussed, which is how much of what you're producing to people consume and where do they fall off so that you can see... what's potentially not working about your content. Another one that's an absolute goldmine, if you have a ton of content on your website, so I'm assuming that since your audience are podcasters, content's important. Yes. Okay, so a couple of things about that. One, I see a lot of podcast websites where basically you upload the latest episode.
0:46 So the latest episode is at the top of the page. And then all the other episodes from last week and the week before and the week before that start moving down the page. So in analytics, we can measure how far down a page people scroll. Because one of the things that really bothers me about this that I see a lot is, you know, a podcast that you recorded maybe a month ago, six weeks ago, right? That's not very long ago. Probably it's still really good content. But as it moves down the page, Fewer and fewer people see it. So most podcast site owners, in my opinion, don't continue to leverage the content that they had before.
1:28 It's always about the latest, newest podcast, which is a real shame.
