PODCAST TRACKING LINKS

See which channels actually drive listeners

"Where did that listener come from?" should not be a guess. Create tracking links to measure click-to-download attribution by source and campaign, A/B test your promotions, then double down on what works and cut what doesn't.

Identify the source. Test the promotion. Grow the audience.

See which promotions actually earn downloads

A tracking link wraps your show's URL with a source tag, so every click and download maps back to where it came from. See which channels drive listeners, prove which promotions pay off, and put your budget behind the campaigns that actually grow your audience.

Listener attribution

Connect every download to the channel that drove it

Tag a unique link for LinkedIn, your newsletter, paid social, and your website, then watch clicks turn into downloads by source. Close the attribution gap that podcast apps leave open and name the channels actually growing your audience.

Promotion testing

A/B test promotions and double down on what works

Run two versions of a promotion, give each its own tracking link, and compare clicks and downloads side by side. Keep the variant that wins, cut the one that doesn't, and bring a real cost-per-listener to your next budget review.

Campaign tracking

Find the campaign types that grow your audience

Group links by campaign-type to see total performance across a launch, a sponsorship, or a season push. Compare campaigns against each other to learn which marketing plays reliably bring in listeners, then repeat the ones that do.

01 What is a podcast tracking link?
A tracking link wraps your show's URL with a source tag. Share a different link in each place you promote, on LinkedIn, in your newsletter, in a paid social ad, on your website, and every click and download maps back to where it came from. You see which channels drive listeners instead of guessing.
02 How does click-to-download attribution work?
Most podcast analytics stop at the click. CoHost follows the listener from the click on your tracking link through to the actual download, then attributes that download to the source or campaign that earned it. You get clicks and downloads by channel.
03 Which channels and campaigns can I track?
Any place you can paste a link. Teams commonly track LinkedIn, newsletters, paid social, their website, and team or guest promotions, with a separate tracking link per source or campaign. Create an unlimited number of links. Run two versions of a promotion on the same channel and you can A/B test which one drives more downloads.
04 Can I see how many listeners each guest brought in?
Yes. Give each guest their own tracking link to share with their audience, then measure how many downloads every guest drove. It turns guest booking into a measurable channel instead of a hunch.
05 Does this solve the social media measurement gap for podcasts?
Yes. Podcast apps strip most referral data, so social and newsletter promotion usually looks like it drove nothing. Click-to-download attribution closes that gap by tracking the click, so you can finally credit the channel that brought the listener.
06 Can tracking links show me a cost-per-listener?
Yes. You can view all tracking links related to paid campaigns and see how many downloads they brought in. From there, measure cost-per-download against the amount you spent on those campaigns.
