Configure your Buzzsprout account and podcast settings from scratch
If you are launching a new show, we handle the full account setup: podcast artwork uploads, category selection, language settings, and connecting your custom domain to your Buzzsprout podcast website. We verify your RSS feed validates correctly before you submit to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other directories. You get a clean, correctly configured foundation before your first episode goes live.
Publish episodes with accurate metadata and chapter markers
We upload your audio files, write or format your episode titles and descriptions using your brand voice, and fill in all episode-level fields including season and episode numbers, content type, and explicit ratings. Where applicable, we add chapter markers using Buzzsprout's chapter feature so listeners can navigate long-form episodes. Every episode is scheduled or published to match your release calendar.
Write and format show notes that drive listener action
We produce structured show notes inside each episode's description field, including guest bios, topic summaries, timestamps, and calls to action with relevant links. These are written to serve both the listener and search indexing, using the episode content you provide (transcript, outline, or recording). The result is a polished, consistent description on every episode page of your Buzzsprout podcast website.
Audit your back catalog for consistency and missing metadata
For established shows, we conduct a full audit of your existing episode library, checking for missing artwork, incomplete descriptions, incorrect episode types, and broken links in show notes. We produce a prioritized fix list and work through corrections episode by episode. This is especially useful before pitching your show to sponsors or submitting to podcast networks that review your feed quality.
Connect Buzzsprout to your broader marketing and distribution stack
We set up Buzzsprout's native integrations and configure third-party connections using Zapier or Make to push new episode data into your email platform, social scheduler, or CRM. Common setups include triggering a Mailchimp campaign when a new episode publishes, posting episode links to a Buffer queue, or logging new subscriber milestones to a Slack channel. Each integration is documented so you understand what fires and when.
Monitor episode performance and compile listener analytics reports
We pull data from Buzzsprout's analytics dashboard, tracking plays by episode, listening app breakdown, and geographic distribution over your reporting period. We compile this into a simple recurring report (weekly or monthly) that surfaces trends without requiring you to log in and interpret the data yourself. If you are using Buzzsprout's Magic Mastering or dynamic content features, we track their impact on listen-through rates as well.
