Podcast Network Websites

One of the best things about having your own website is letting Google know that this is THE official place to learn about your podcast. And the best way to make it official is to associate it at your own domain name. Simply register a domain anywhere, and we'll provide the details to point it to your Podpage website.

The best part about a Podpage website is, for the most part, it's totally automated. New episodes from your feed will automatically be added, new reviews from Apple podcasts are imported, and overall, the page just takes care of itself. You'll receive alerts when there's something to do, but it's rare. You can set it, and forget it.

This is the most foundational element of your whole website: the episode. Every episode you create gets its own page with all relevant information, including title, duration, summary, show notes, episode images, and most importantly a player. These pages have customizable, human readable URLs, and are automatically indexed in Google.

Podpage puts a player on every page, so when someone lands on your website, they can immediately listen to your podcast. On your homepage, there's a player at the top to start streaming your most recent episode, and on each episode page, there's a player for that episode. We support a standard player, as well as players from some media hosts such as Simplecast and Art19.

We automatically add follow badges and graphics to all the top players you want to add to your website, giving your listeners the ability to listen to your podcast wherever they prefer. We'll also do our best to only show a user players supported by their device, so someone on Android wont see Apple Podcasts as an option.

URLs are more memorable when they're readable, and search engines prefer URLs to mean something, so every URL on your website is human readable (/disney-interview) instead of a random number (/9n292na). You can customize these URLs as well, so if you want to say the memorable URL during the episode ("Get the show notes at mywebsite.com/podcast-tips"), that's easy.

Every episode on your website will have prominant links to share to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and a large list of other social networks. Additionally, every page has been optimized with the right open graph metatags so when it is shared, it looks gorgeous on every playform and stands up in the timeline for better visibility.

The about page is one of the most visited pages on a website, because it's a place for listeners to find out what your podcast is about and what your goals are with it. Take time to give listeners a glimpse behind the curatin and tell them a bit more details about the show.

Once you've created a lot of episodes, having a giant list isn't a great listener discovery experience. Podpage lets you organize your shows into categories, so listeners can see related episodes easily. We pull your initial category list from your feed, but you can edit it however you'd like. Get creative!

Every Podpage comes with several convenient baked in links making it easy to share and find your content. • /latest brings up your most recent episode. • /follow shows a page with listen/subscribe badges. • /rate directs someone to rate you. There are more, and more to come!

Your website has a number of different settings you can change to customize the page to feel more like you. You can change colors, fonts, layouts, and more, and we're adding new customization options all the time.

Podpage comes with a voicemail system fully baked in. Listeners can leave voicemails for you directly from your website and you can download the audio to use in your podcast.

You are the one creating great content, but you're letting the podcast players own your relationship with your listener. Instead, get your listeners on a mailing list and periodically reach out with things of interest. Podpage makes it easy to prompt someone to sign up for your email list, and you can export the info anytime to Mailchimp or other newsletter service.

Want to create a page that's not currently included as a Podpage feature, such as sponsorship information or team biographies? No problem. You can create a new page for anything you want, at whatever URL you want. It's simple.

You should brag about all the nice things people say about your podcast, and Podpage makes that easy. Reviews from your chosen Apple Podcasts country are imported and the 4-star and above ones are displayed on your website. You can also feature your best reviews on your homepage! We check for new ones daily, and alert you when a new one is found.

If you'd like to create written content as well as your podcast episodes, we make it easy to publish your own simple blog on your podcast website. Your blog can have unlimited posts and will be linked to in the navigation of your website.

If you've created a bunch of shows, and a new listener shows up for the first time, it can be overwhelming. To make their initial experience easier, you can feature some of your best episodes to show up at the top of your homepage. Curating a first listener experience is a great way to turn an interested person into a subscriber.

Guests can fill out a form on your website to create a guest profile and sign a release agreement.

Every guest you have on your show will have their own page on your website, with their bio, links, and all the episodes they've been on. This is a great way to show off your guests and give them a place to send their fans.

When linking to a sponsor or giving out your affiliate code, make it simple for your listener by creating an easy to remember, simple link at your domain. You can create as many sponsor links as you'd like.

As your podcast grows, so does your archive of excellent content. To make sure new listeners can easily access and find old content, every Podpage site comes with full episode search. Search will look at episode titles, summaries, show notes, and other metadata you've added.

It's important to understand your website traffic, and instead of reinventing the wheel, Podpage supports Google Analytics. Set up a free Analytics account and add your GA ID to your website, and you'll see complete visitor data within Google Analytics.

Apple makes it exceptionally easy for listeners to jump directly into Apple Podcasts if they're on a compatible phone by letting you display a native banner at the top of the screen. With Podpage, turning this banner on is effortless.

Transcripts are a great way to make your content more accessible. They're great for Google to get additional context about what's in the episode, and even more useful for people with a disability who can't listen to your episode.

One of the best things about having a website is being able to have a direct connection with your users, and one of the best ways to do that is through comments. Podpage makes that easy.

Podpage integrates popular commenting systems, making it easy for you to choose your preference and get the conversation started.

Podpage integrates with all leading donation platforms, including Paypal, GoFundMe, Glow, Buy Me a Coffee, Ko-Fi, and more.

Advertise and drive traffic to your premium membership opportunity through Patreon, Supercast or other platforms.

You have the option to show a contact form so people can get in touch with you over email. It adds a simple contact form to your page, letting the user send a quick message. You can also show different places they can find you online, such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and even LinkedIn.

Instead of telling listeners to "Go to Apple Podcasts and rate the show", you can just tell them to "Click rate on our website" or "Go to mydomain.com/rate" and they'll be forwarded along to the place of your choosing. You can forward them automatically depending on their platform, or have them choose on their own.

We make it very easy to insert your Facebook Pixel, Twitter Tag, LinkedIn Tag, and more.

Add your mailing list signup form from Aweber, ConvertKit, Constant Contact, or Mailchimp to collect emails directly into your mailing list service.

We make it very easy for you to share every new episode. With a small social sharing tool, we generate a post that can link to individual players or the episode page on your website. It's available for every episode in your catalog.

If you film a version of your episodes, you can include this on your episode page, making it easy for your audience to see your show.

You build a beautiful grid of products you have for sale elsewhere directly on your Podpage, or you can just redirect to your external store.

On the Elite plan, we will import reviews from ALL Apple Podcast countries. This is over 175+ countries, covering listeners and fans all over the world.

When the episode is released, guests are sent an email with a link to their episode page, and a link to share the episode on social media.

Export your full guest data at any time to use in your own guest workflow. You can import it into any of your preferred data and spreadsheet tools.

Podpage has a built in SEO Tool similar to Yoast SEO, the #1 plugin on Wordpress. This tool will look at each page and suggest changes to make it as powerful as possible for your search engine goals.

Set a focus keyphrase for each page, which is the main search phrase you want to optimize the page for. Podpage uses that with the SEO Analysis Tool to help you make sure your page ranks well on Google and other search engines for the keyphrase you’re targeting.

If you want to run automations on Zapier, you can now connect your Podpage account and whenever an episode, blog post, review, email subscriber and more is created, it will automatically be sent over to Zapier for you to use however you’d like.

When Podpage imports an episode, it will try to get the deep link to that episode in the popular podcast players. This way, when someone clicks that link on an episode page, it will go directly to the episode.

If you have your podcast content behind a paywall and users need to subscribe in order to listen, you can still use your feed on Podpage. Just enter your subscription URL into Podpage and your media players will be replaced with a call to action to go subscribe to your content.

Podpage will log and display data on the number of clicks you’ve received for your pretty links.

Whether it’s an ebook, artwork, guide, or more, you might have a file or two you’d like to make available to your listeners to download. Now, directly within Podpage, you can host files for listeners to download.
