Metrics Used to Measure the Success of Podcasts
- The success of branded podcasts is measured differently than other channels.
Some the metrics used to measure podcast success are:
- Downloads and Total Play: This measurement gives an idea on the progress between each podcast and the potential increase in popularity or listeners.
-
Listen-Through Rate: This measurement reveals whether the content of the podcast is consistent and if listeners are consuming the whole podcast.
-
Total Subscribers: This is equivalent to followers in social media.
- Reviews: This is an important tool to gather feedback about the podcast.
-
Charts: They are a great way to compare success with other branded podcasts.
Difference with Normal Marketing
- Podcasts differ with other marketing tools as it is difficult to track the link between a listen and a future purchase.
- What can be done is measure whether the audio content is successful in itself using metrics such as downloads, chart position, reviews, etc..
