Podcast Ratings and Reviews Won't Help You Hit The Charts Directly But....It Can Help You Do This [114]

Have you ever found yourself wondering if leaving a review or giving a rating to a podcast could propel it to the top of the charts? In today's episode, our host, Kristin, is unraveling this common misconception and shedding light on the true impact of podcast ratings and reviews.

In today’s episode, Kristin:

• Walks listeners through the process of leaving a rating and review on Apple and Spotify.
• Shares how podcast ratings alone do not determine a podcast's chart success. While they certainly provide valuable feedback for podcast creators and serve as a measure of audience satisfaction, they don't directly impact a podcast's ranking on the charts.
• Unpacks the value behind leaving ratings and reviews and their ability to help other listeners discover and engage with new podcasts.
• Provides podcasters with specific questions they can use to encourage their audience to leave reviews.

While podcast ratings and reviews may not directly impact a podcast's chart position, they are still valuable tools for engaging with your audience, building social proof, and improving your podcast over time. So, the next time you enjoy an episode of your favorite podcast, don't hesitate to leave a review or rating.
