How to Determine Your Podcast Ranking

I shared two quick ways to determine if your podcast is ranking. The first way is to open the Apple Podcast app on your iPhone or iMac and search for your podcast. If other shows related to your podcast’s topic appear in the “You might also like” section, it means that Apple is ranking and categorizing your podcast correctly.

The second way is to manually search for keywords that your podcast has targeted in the past. By searching for these keywords, you can determine if your podcast is ranking for them. It’s normal not to always rank for every keyword, especially if it’s not the main focus of your podcast. However, I encourage you to get creative and find ways to rank for different keywords.
