Score breakdown

Show Title & SEO 6.0 / 20
  • Title is only 10 chars — add a specific, keyword-rich descriptor.
  • Title is generic ('The Podcast', 'My Show') — Apple penalizes generic, similar names.
  • No title keywords appear in the description — align them for search.
  • No emojis or symbols in the title (Apple-compliant).
Subtitle 6.0 / 10
  • Subtitle present (17 chars).
  • Subtitle has no obvious topic keyword — include your main search term.
Description 5.0 / 20
  • Description is 105 chars — aim for 200+ with your topic keywords.
  • No obvious topic keywords in the description.
  • Description doesn't repeat any title keywords — include your show's core terms.

Artwork 7.0 / 10
  • Artwork URL present in the feed.
  • Artwork is a standard image file (PNG/JPG).
  • Pixel dimensions can't be verified offline — Apple requires 1400x1400 min, 3000x3000 recommended.
Episode Titles 9.0 / 15

  • Episode titles are unique (no repeated titles).
