A heads-up before your card expires#

Your dashboard now gives you an early warning about billing. If your card on file is expiring soon, you'll see a yellow banner; if a payment didn't go through, you'll see a red one. Both link straight to updating your payment method, so keeping your site running takes a click or two.

Your sitemap now covers your whole site#

Your site's sitemap — the file that tells Google what to index — now automatically includes your videos, store, events, memberships, newsletter signup, podcast roll, and more, so every page you've built has a chance to show up in search.

Nothing to turn on — this updates automatically for every podcast site.

Learn podcasting from Dave Jackson, right inside your dashboard#

Podpage has partnered with the School of Podcasting, run by Dave Jackson — a Podcast Hall of Fame member with over 20 years of experience — to bring structured, step-by-step courses on launching, growing, and monetizing a podcast straight into your account.

Find it under Learn → School of Podcasting. If you're already a School of Podcasting member, your courses show up automatically; if not, you'll see how to join, including a discount for Podpage customers.

Mobile polish for your site and your dashboard#

A few small improvements that add up:

  • Your site's mobile menu is cleaner — the hamburger menu now slides over your page as a crisp, high-contrast overlay.
  • The podcast cards in your Podpage dashboard have a roomier layout on phones.
  • On the Episode Optimization panel, Elite users can now see at a glance whether guests have been emailed about an episode, and send those alerts directly from the panel.

A rebuilt help center, right on podpage.com#

Podpage's help center now lives at podpage.com/support — searchable, organized by category, and built to actually find the article you need instead of guessing at keywords. It replaces the old third-party help widget.

Get there from Help in the dashboard or the "Support" link in your site's footer. Answers you find there link straight back to the exact dashboard page they're describing, so you don't have to go hunting for the setting yourself.

See which broken links are costing you traffic#

The 404 Error Report shows the pages visitors are trying to reach on your site that don't exist — sorted by how often they're hit, with the sites sending that traffic listed underneath. Old backlinks, directory listings and years-old bookmarks all show up here.

From the report you can create a redirect on the spot — Podpage suggests where the old link probably should have gone — or mark a path as handled so it stops showing up. Find it under Power Features → 404 Error Report. Available on Elite.
