How often do top-performing podcasts publish new episodes? How many characters do they use in their titles? How long are their episodes on average? How many reviews do they receive?
For the first time, podcasters can finally see what makes the best shows stand out and compare their own practices with the leaders in every category.
The PSO Category Benchmark analyzes multiple key indicators
How often do the top podcasts release new episodes? And where do you stand?
What’s the average title and description length among the top podcasts in your category? And are yours optimized enough for PSO?
Are your episodes shorter or longer than what listeners expect in your category?
How many reviews do top-performing podcasts receive, and how does your average rating compare?
See which color tones dominate your category and whether your visual identity aligns with the trend or stands out.
The PSO Category Benchmark adjusts its insights based on the platform, country, and category you choose, ensuring you get truly relevant, actionable data.
With this level of precision, creators can:
⭐ Understand what top shows do to grow and stay visible
🚀 Spot new optimization opportunities tailored to their own podcast
💜 Turn raw data into smarter editorial and creative decisions
Whether you want to align with the leaders or set yourself apart, the PSO Category Benchmark gives you the clarity you need. Use it to pinpoint your improvement areas and identify the trends you can adapt to your show.
