1. Keep an ear on listener data to inform your decisions
Spotify only supplies data in aggregate trends—not for individual users. Here are two types of listener data you should pay close attention to.
2. Revisit your greatest hits to plan future content
Anchor displays your most-played episodes in your selected time range. You should be proud of all the content you create, but knowing which episodes performed particularly well gives you a roadmap to continue producing content that listeners love.
3. Review listening platform data to see how people consume your content
The listening platform section of your analytics tells you which apps and devices people use to play your show. You can use these insights to make more relevant calls to action, or even tailor your show to mobile or desktop. If the majority of your fans use mobile devices, they’re probably listening to your show on the go.
4. Evaluate episode drop-off to increase average listen time
Powered by Spotify’s streaming technology, drop-off data gives you a second-by-second breakdown of how many listeners stay tuned in throughout the duration of an episode.
Know the numbers to grow the numbers
You devote countless hours to creating content that your fans love, so it's important that those hours are spent laying the foundation for growth.
Audience demographics
Now Anchor’s analytics include charts that show the aggregated age and gender of your Spotify listeners. These metrics are a useful approximation of your audience across all listening platforms, and they help you determine at a glance which audiences your podcast is reaching and who has yet to discover your show.
