Coverage extends to as many as 175 country markets, depending on the charts published by each source platform. Useful for: - detecting short-lived chart movements; - comparing countries, categories, and platforms; - preserving history after a podcast is added; - associating a movement with a release, promotion, or guest appearance; - producing chart evidence for a report. An hourly check is a Podstatus collection cadence. Upstream charts can update on their own schedules, and a chart rank is not the same as verified audience size.

Users can filter and receive notifications instead of visiting each country storefront manually. Reviews are useful as listener feedback and social proof. Apple states that ratings and reviews do not directly influence Apple Podcasts Charts or Search, so Podstatus does not treat reviews as a guaranteed ranking lever. Canonical page: [Podcast Review Monitoring](https://podstatus.com/features/reviews) ## Podcast Keyword Tracking Keyword Tracking checks daily search positions for selected phrases on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. It helps measure whether a podcast is visible for the queries its intended listeners might use. - Professional: up to 50 tracked keywords. - Network: up to 100 tracked keywords. - Solo: not included. Search results can differ by platform and country. A position change is evidence of visibility changing, not proof that a specific metadata edit caused it. Canonical page: [Podcast Keyword Tracking](https://podstatus.com/features/keywords) ## Podcast SEO Analyzer The SEO Analyzer audits: - podcast title and description; - categories; - artwork requirements; - RSS channel fields; - Apple-specific RSS tags such as `itunes:category` and `itunes:author`; - recent episode information; - alignment with tracked keywords when keywords are available. Checks are labeled pass, warning, or fail and include impact and effort guidance. The analyzer works without tracked keywords for metadata and feed checks; tracked keywords make recommendations more specific. Available on Professional and Network.

A weighted similarity score considers overlap frequency and chart proximity. This is a performance-based competitor signal, not a claim that two shows share the same audience or business model. It is included on all plans.

Reports can also be shared with configured recipients so stakeholders do not need to sign in for every update. Canonical page: [Podcast Email Reports](https://podstatus.com/features/email-reports) ## Document Studio Document Studio creates downloadable, shareable PDF reports from Podstatus data. Published report types include: 1. performance overview; 2. competitive analysis; 3. sentiment analysis; 4. seasonality analysis. Professional includes 5 reports per month. Network includes 10. Solo does not include Document Studio. Canonical page: [Podcast PDF Reports](https://podstatus.com/features/document-studio) ## Image Studio Image Studio converts selected reviews, chart positions, and episode information into visual assets intended for social sharing. It is a publishing aid, not an image-performance analytics product. Canonical page: [Podcast Image Studio](https://podstatus.com/features/image-studio) ## Podcast Page Builder The page builder creates a public page for a podcast with artwork, show information, and links to listening platforms. It is a lightweight promotional landing page, not full podcast hosting or a general-purpose website builder. Canonical page: [Podcast Page Builder](https://podstatus.com/features/podcast-page) ## YouTube Podcast Analytics Podstatus matches podcast episodes to public YouTube videos and displays video performance beside audio-focused data. It uses public YouTube API data and does not require access to private YouTube account analytics. Available on Professional and Network. Canonical page: [YouTube Podcast Analytics](https://podstatus.com/features/youtube) ## OP3 Download Analytics Podstatus displays downloads, geography, listening apps, referrers, operating systems, time zones, and episode trends from OP3-compatible data. The podcast must be configured for OP3; Podstatus is a viewer and workflow layer for this data, not the source of unconnected download counts.
