What Is a Podcast Growth Score?

A podcast growth score is an AI-generated rating (0–100) that measures how well a show is optimized for listener discovery, algorithmic recommendation, and audience retention. PodSignal AI analyzes your RSS feed and Apple Podcasts data to score four key signals: title clarity, publishing cadence, description hooks, and category positioning.

How to Grow a Podcast
