Every podcast hosted using Captivate can enjoy a completely free podcast website that is easy to use, looks stunning on any device, and is fully setup for search engine optimization (SEO).
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.
Create Your Podcast Network
Create your podcast network, invite your team, cross-promote your episodes, and analyze your entire network's performance and analytics in one place, and in just a few clicks.
Captivate powers some of the biggest networks in the world and gives the same tools to you, the serious indie podcaster.
Network Podcast Feed
By creating a network-level feed for your podcasts, you can submit the whole network to podcast apps, or share it with advertising partners, etc.
Additionally, any podcast on your network feed will automatically have new episodes published to your feed.
Granular Podcast Team Access
You can add unlimited team members to your podcasting team at no charge with Captivate and grant each team member the specific permissions that they need, and only those.
When you create a podcast with Captivate, you automatically become the owner of that show. You are then able to add additional team members giving them their own unique permission and access levels at no extra cost.
Ad Painter
Replace old baked-in content with new, dynamic content using Captivate's bulk ad painter technology.
Simply paint over your old audio and either upload replacement snippets or ask Captivate to dynamically insert something - perfect for getting rid of old adverts or out-of-date content without re-editing your episode!
Bulk Ad Editor
For the busy, serious podcaster and producer, Captivate has four innovative bulk editing tools making it super easy to manage pre, post and mid-roll content across your entire podcast library!
Dynamic Ad Marketplace Powered by DAX
DAX is a powerful ad platform from Global that can help you monetize your podcast by connecting you with top advertisers and sponsors. With access to a global network of brands, DAX can help you maximize your revenue potential while maintaining control over the ads that appear on your show.
