Prompt 01
01 · Apple + Spotify Algorithm Audit
Act as a podcast SEO + platform algorithm specialist. My show: [NAME + NICHE]. Current downloads/episode: [N]. Apple category: [CATEGORY]. Current subscriber count: [SUBS].
Run a full audit: (1) my Apple Podcasts show-page — every field ranked by algorithm impact (title tag, subtitle, description, category, sub-category, keywords baked into title vs. subtitle, cover-art clarity at thumbnail size), (2) my Spotify show-page — key differences from Apple (Spotify weights recency, listen-through-rate, playlist adds), (3) the ONE misconfigured field most likely to be costing me discovery, (4) which of my past 10 episode titles would out-rank if renamed with search intent — write the 10 renamed titles, (5) the 3 platform-specific ranking signals I should optimise for weekly (episode drop consistency, listen-through completion, subscriber conversion rate). Include the realistic ranking timeline for a show at my current scale.
Prompt 02
02 · Subscriber Drop-Off Diagnostic
Act as a podcast retention analyst. Here are my last 10 episodes' analytics: [PASTE — episode name, avg listen-through %, download count, subscriber-add count, subscriber-lost count].
Produce: (1) my drop-off pattern — where in an episode listeners bail (first 30s? mid-way? during ads?), and what the industry benchmark is for my format, (2) the top 3 episodes that OUTPERFORMED — what specifically made listeners stay, (3) the top 3 UNDER-performers — the 5-minute mark I should re-listen to and diagnose, (4) 3 structural changes I should make to episode 1-2 minutes to lift listen-through by 10-15%, (5) the ONE metric I should track weekly to catch subscriber churn early. End with the specific 60-second intro rewrite that would move the needle for my next episode.
