What You'll See ​

Platform Editorial Features ​

Track your podcast's appearances in curated editorial content across:

  • Apple Podcasts - New & Noteworthy, editorial collections, category features
  • Spotify - Editorial playlists, featured sections, genre highlights
  • Amazon Music - Curated recommendations and platform features
  • YouTube Music - Featured podcast placements

For each platform, you'll see:

  • Currently Featured - Editorial lists where your podcast appears now
  • Recently Featured - Lists your podcast was on recently but no longer appears on
  • Historical appearances - Your complete editorial history on that platform

Beyond platform editorial, Pro users can track web links - pages across the web where your podcast is recommended on websites, newsletters, blogs, and curated lists.

Web links show:

  • Domain count - How many different websites mention your podcast
  • Page count - Total pages where your podcast appears
  • Domain authority - Quality indicators for each source (Very High, High, Medium)
  • Top domains - Your most authoritative web placements

High-authority web links from reputable sites can influence both listener trust and AI recommendations.

You can also add a link yourself. Use the Submit button on the Web Links card to open a form where you can submit the URL of a page that mentions your podcast, so it can be matched into your web links.

Understanding the Metrics ​

Currently Featured shows editorial placements that are active right now. These represent ongoing visibility that's driving discovery.

Recently Dropped (labeled Recently Featured in the Platform editorial card list) tracks lists your podcast was on recently but no longer appears on. Reviewing these helps you:

  • Understand editorial rotation patterns
  • Measure how long features typically last
  • Identify when to pursue new opportunities

Domain Authority ​

Web links are categorized by domain authority:

  • Very High - Major publications, well-known podcasting sites
  • High - Established blogs, industry newsletters, respected directories
  • Medium - Smaller sites, niche publications, personal recommendations

Higher authority sources carry more weight for discoverability and credibility.

Strategic Applications ​

Measure Editorial Success ​

Track your editorial presence over time to understand:

  • Which platforms feature you most often
  • How long your editorial placements typically last
  • Whether your editorial visibility is growing

Identify Patterns ​

Analyze your editorial history to spot patterns:

  • Content types or themes that attract editorial attention
  • Timing patterns (seasonal trends, launch momentum)
  • Platforms where you have the strongest editorial relationship

Use web link data to:

  • Discover sites that feature podcasts like yours
  • Reach out to publications that already know your show
  • Prioritize outreach to high-authority domains

Requesting Editorial Features ​

If you want to increase your editorial presence, you can use PodSEO's PR Outreach pipeline to manage the process. Click Find Opportunities in PR Outreach to load a curated list of pitch targets — platform editorial submission pages (such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify) along with podcast newsletters, directories, and blogs worth pitching — then add them to your kanban board and track your submissions through the pipeline stages from Identified to Featured.

  1. Visit Apple's feature request form
  2. Follow their optimization guide
