The core of Linkfire for Podcasts lies in our smart links. These are more than just URLs; they're customizable, eye-catching landing pages that serve as a central hub for your content.
Imagine a page that's not only linked to your shows and episodes but also captures emails, showcases merch, and highlights your social media channels or live events.
Industry leading podcast analytics
As listeners navigate these pages to reach their preferred podcast platforms, we collect and map valuable data, including:
- Podcast marketing channels
