Announcing The Podscribe Podcast Ranker
The podcast industry has been asking for a complete picture of show data for years. Today, we're excited to announce the Podscribe Ranker - a tool that delivers comprehensive podcast and publisher rankings.
Why Another Ranker?
Traditional podcast rankings have significant blind spots:
Missing Shows
They miss many of the biggest shows and don't account for the full scope of how audiences consume content today. When you can't see The Joe Rogan Experience in your rankings, you know something's off.
Isolated to RSS Growth
The biggest podcasts now live on both audio and video platforms. With millions of views happening on YouTube, why not track both getting an accurate picture of show outcomes means tracking both RSS and YouTube metrics?
Static Snapshot
Traditional podcast rankers show you a static snapshot of show ranking analytics. This does not provide enough insight to understand if a show's audience is actively growing month-over-month.
Introducing Podscribe’s Ranker
Comprehensive Ranking
We don't just track shows with our prefix, we include data from shows where we track DAI campaigns using our pixel. This means we can provide accurate data for major shows even without direct prefix integration. The result? A much more accurate picture of the rankings.
RSS and Youtube Tracking
The Podscribe Ranker also includes YouTube data alongside podcast downloads, offering a view of each show's reach across platforms. For example, while a show might rank 100th in pure audio reach, it could be in the top 10 for total monthly downloads.
Growth Insights Over Static Lists
We built trend indicators into every show's data, giving you signals about audience growth patterns before you make investment decisions. This helps buyers spot emerging hits before they peak.
3 Ways to View Rankings
The Podscribe Ranker offers three distinct views, including audio reach, downloads per episode, and downloads per month. Take a look at this week’s ranking to see how each view impacts the shows listed.
Benefits for both buyers and sellers
Publishers: With customizable ranking views, publishers can highlight the metrics that matter most to their business.
