Quick Start

Get started by learning how to find podcasts, create campaigns and export data.

How to search for podcasts

Let's imagine that you're trying to find a few promising podcasts in the niche that you're targeting. The home screenarrow-up-right is the first place that you'll land in Rephonic and that's where to begin your search.

Enter a topic and hit enter to begin searching for podcasts. Rephonic looks at podcast titles, descriptions and the show notes of recent episodes to find the most relevant matches. By default, the results are ordered by a combination of relevance and estimated listeners per episode.

Let's see how the results look:

You can also search podcast Titles and Publishers if you already know what you're looking for. Or you can search across Episodes.

You may see the dollar sign icon next to a podcast's name if we think that they accept sponsors or advertisers, and the microphone icon if a podcast is likely to accept guests.

You can also search podcast Titles and Publishers if you already know what you're looking for. Or you can search across Episodes.


Narrow down your search using filters

Rephonic supports a large set of advanced search filters that allow you to narrow down your search results. For example, if you only want to see shows in the Business category, you can click the Categories filter button and select that.

You can also use multiple filters at the same time. For example, if you're looking for podcasts in the Business category that also accept sponsors, simply use both the Category and Sponsored filters together.

Start building a campaign

Campaigns are a convenient way to keep track of podcasts that you've found in the search results. Use them to create media campaigns or to keep tabs on shows that you care about.

The easiest way to start building a campaign is from the search screen. Enter a topic to search for podcasts and then tap the Build a Campaign button.

You'll notice a new Add button that appears next to each podcast in the search results. Click on that to add that show to your new campaign.

The first time you add a podcast you'll be prompted to choose a name for your new campaign.

You can also click on Add to Campaign while viewing any podcast, and you'll be able to add it to an existing campaign or create a brand new one:

You can always access your campaigns by clicking the Campaigns button at the top of any page.

Adding private notes to a podcast

Whether you're working alone or in a team, it can be useful to add private notes to podcasts if, for example, you've contacted the publisher and found out more information.
