Backtracks helps audio publishers, advertisers, and platforms better understand their audiences, optimize their content, and maximize their revenue.
Before Backtracks
Historically podcasters and advertisers could not tell if someone that downloaded a podcast actually played it. Data was not verified. Spreadsheets were mailed around with people adding zeros to the end of cells. It was the dark ages.
With Backtracks
Not only can Backtracks Audio & Podcast Analytics tell you if a download resulted in a play, we collect an extraordinary depth of audio and listener data. Track listener engagement like how long a listener listened, not just simple counts. Learn what's working and what's not in your podcast content and ads. Get an unfair advantage with the ultimate in podcast analytics. Data can be a beautiful thing.
Our Platform Works Anywhere.
Any Podcast.
Any Host. Any Device.
Backtracks Podcast Analytics works on any device, any host, and any podcast. Powered by the open source podcast analytics standard Open Podcast Analytics (OPA), our tools, SDKs, and APIs add advanced capabilities yet are simple and easy to use.
Just like podcast analytics, podcast advertising has fallen behind other forms of marketing. Podcasts can provide a perfect platform for many companies to raise brand awareness and increase customer engagement, but only when you’re advertising on the right podcasts. With Backtracks, we can take the guesswork out of your podcast advertising campaign.
