Without keyword data, podcast SEO is just guesswork

Most podcast creators update titles, descriptions, and episode names without knowing whether those changes help or hurt. They are optimizing blind.

Podcast keyword tracking changes that. When you can see your actual search positions on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, every metadata decision becomes evidence-based. You stop guessing and start growing.

Apple Podcasts + Spotify in one view

Track podcast search rankings on both major platforms from a single dashboard. No switching between tools or manually checking search results.

Country-level keyword positions

Your podcast may rank differently in the US, UK, Mexico, or Germany. Compare keyword positions across every supported country to find where you are gaining or losing ground.

Daily updates with full history

Positions are refreshed every day, and all historical ranking data is stored. Measure how a title change, a new episode, or a description update affects your search visibility over weeks and months.

How it works

Add keywords. Get daily podcast search rankings.

Choose the search terms that matter to your show. Podstatus automatically checks your position on Apple Podcasts and Spotify for each keyword, in every country you select, once per day.
