The podcast plateau

Most podcasts never find their audience.

The average podcast reaches episode 7 before it stops. Not because the host runs out of ideas — because the fundamentals are wrong from the start.

Publishing irregularly. Episode titles no one searches for. Show notes that are two lines long. No reviews to signal quality to new listeners. These are fixable problems. Most hosts never know they have them.

This audit scores your show on the 6 dimensions our production team has used to produce 3,000+ podcasts since 2014.

What we measure

Six dimensions. One clear score.

Every question maps to a scored dimension. Your report shows exactly where you rank, why it matters, and what to fix first.

01 — Publishing frequency

How often you publish

Weekly publishers grow 3× faster than monthly ones. Frequency is the single biggest driver of algorithm ranking and listener retention.

02 — Publishing consistency

Schedule gap variance

Inconsistency breaks the listening habit. Even one unexplained gap can cost you 15–30% of your regular audience.

03 — Show notes quality

Depth of descriptions

Your audio is invisible to Google. Your show notes are your only SEO asset. Most podcasters write two sentences. The ones that rank write 500 words.

04 — Episode title SEO

Search discoverability

Keyword-rich titles outperform generic titles by 4× in search. “Episode 42” ranks for nothing. “5 Ways to Close B2B Deals Faster” ranks for everything.

05 — Audience reception

Ratings and reviews

Apple Podcasts uses ratings to decide which shows to recommend. A show with 50+ reviews at 4.5 stars gets surfaced to new listeners automatically.

06 — Content volume

Total episode count

Catalogue depth signals authority to search algorithms and gives new listeners a reason to subscribe. 50 episodes is the first major trust milestone.

Common questions

Everything you need to know.

Is this audit really free?+
Yes. The audit is completely free with no credit card required. You get an instant score and personalised recommendations. A Podcast Strategy Consultant will also follow up within one business day — that consultation is also free.
How is the score calculated?+
Your answers map to six scored dimensions: publishing frequency, consistency, show notes quality, episode title SEO, audience reception, and content volume. Each dimension scores out of 100. Your overall score is the average of all six. You receive an A–F grade for each dimension and an overall grade for your show.
Do I need to share my podcast URL or login details?+
No. This audit is questionnaire-based. You self-report your current situation in 8 multiple-choice questions. No URL, no RSS feed, no login required.
What happens after I submit?+
You see your full report instantly. Our Podcast Strategy Consultant, Lindsay Krasinski, will also review your results and reach out within one business day. If you prefer not to wait, you can book a call directly using the button in your results.
Is this audit useful for B2B podcasts specifically?+
Yes. Resonate Recordings works primarily with B2B companies — clients include Amazon, Salesforce, and Stanford. The six dimensions we measure are especially relevant to B2B podcasts, where SEO discoverability and audience trust signals matter more than in consumer entertainment shows.
What does Resonate Recordings actually do?+

We have produced 3,000+ podcasts, 50,000+ episodes, and 12 years of production experience. The audit is one way we identify whether a show could benefit from professional support.
