How it works
Paste your description
The current Apple Podcasts / Spotify show description, exactly as it appears in your feed. We score the prose, not the cover art.
Pick the category
Apple Podcasts category affects which keywords you should be targeting. Business, Tech, True-crime, Comedy, etc. — we tune the keyword analysis to match.
Get a five-dimension score
Length (rule-based, vs the optimal 220–340 word range), hook strength, entity coverage (topic + audience + format), keyword coverage, and writing quality. Plus a single composite score 0–100.
Why this is different
Five real dimensions, not one vague score
Most SEO scorers give you a single number with no actionable detail. Ours scores five things separately: length, hook strength, entity coverage, keyword coverage, writing quality. Each comes with a one-sentence rationale and (where relevant) a specific suggestion.
Tuned for Apple Podcasts + Spotify search
We score against publicly-documented Apple Podcasts ranking signals — the description's first 280 characters get the most weight, full description gets indexed, and category-specific keyword presence drives long-tail search ranking.
Length analysis is rule-based
The length dimension uses a deterministic algorithm against the 220–340 word optimal range — same number every run for the same input. The other four dimensions need AI judgment, but length is a fact.
Frequently asked
- How is the score calculated?
- Five weighted dimensions: length (25%), hook strength (30%), entity coverage (20%), keyword coverage (15%), and writing quality (10%). Length is rule-based against the 220–340 word optimal range; the other four use AI analysis. Composite score is 0–100.
- Why is hook strength weighted highest?
- The first 1–2 sentences of your description show in Apple Podcasts and Spotify app summaries — visitors decide in those few seconds whether to click "Subscribe." Search ranking weights early text more heavily too. A weak hook caps the impact of everything else.
- What's "entity coverage"?
- Whether your description names three things concretely: topic (what the show is about), audience (who it's for), and format (interview / solo / narrative / panel). Apple Podcasts search rewards descriptions that clearly state all three; vague descriptions rank for nothing.
- Can I run multiple variants and compare?
- Yes. Five free runs per device per day. Run your current description, run a tightened version, run an "audience-first" rewrite, and compare composite scores. Iterating on the description is one of the highest-leverage SEO levers because changes propagate into Apple's search index within days.
- Is this really free?
- Yes. Five runs per device per day. Output is yours to use commercially. Want unlimited plus the recording studio that records and hosts the show? Start a 14-day free trial of EasyCast Studio.
- How does this compare to your description rewriter?
- The rewriter generates three RSS-safe rewrites of your description (Standard / Concise / Rich). The SEO score analyzes a description and tells you what to fix. Use the score first to find the weak dimensions, then use the rewriter to generate variants that address them.
