Consumer and audience opinions are everywhere. From online shopping to social media comments to podcast reviews, regular folks are leaving feedback on products and media all day, every day. And we’ve all listened to at least one podcast based on reading the reviews, right? So, are reviews integral to the success of a podcast? My answer is “Yes, and…” and we’re exploring that on today’s show. This week, episode 124 of Listeners to Leads is about whether or not podcast reviews are important! 

In this episode of Listeners to Leads, I’m sharing the importance of reviews as one method of gauging your podcast’s success and actionable steps you can take right now to receive valuable reviews and feedback from your listeners. 

I also chat about the following: 

  • Why more information is better for understanding podcast ranking.
  • Apple Podcasts is NOT the global top podcast platform and why that matters for reviews.
  • Two effective ways to ask your audience for ratings and reviews.
  • How different podcast listening platforms approach ratings and reviews.
