Measurable Marketing Links
Your Marketing Links library is a convenient place to store all of your podcast-related marketing links, such as social media, monetization or podcast directory links, for easy access and also to help "feed" other parts of Captivate such as your podcast player, free Captivate Site, and Single Promotional Link.
IAB-Certified Podcast Analytics
As the podcast industry continues to develop and evolve, the one thing that we are dedicated to as a podcast hosting platform is of course, the accuracy of your podcast analytics.
We are passionate about getting closer to the people listening, not just the number of file downloads that your podcast receives and that’s why, Captivate, is proud to say that we are IAB-certified as a podcast analytics provider.
Measurable Short Links
Turn long external URLs from sponsors or your own marketing strategy into short, branded and memorable links.
Visits to these links are fully tracked, giving you an insight into how your promotions, affiliate traffic and other important links are performing.
