Moving your podcast from another host to Captivate is simple, with our automated import tool. Better still, though, is you can upload the analytics from your old host for your show with Captivate’s Analytics Import Tool!
This allows you to access your full historical analytics from within the Captivate dashboard, including podcast app and listener location, letting you see your growth trends and interpret data from your entire podcasting history - not just from the date of your import to Captivate.
You can upload multiple categories from your current host:
user agent/podcast app
episode data
country
date range
This kind of data import is an industry-first when it comes to intuitiveness and flexibility, and we’re super proud to be able to bring this level of analytics breakdown to you!
Note: It’s important to remember that your imported, historical analytics remain separate from your ‘active’ Captivate analytics, which ensures that you retain a comprehensive record of your podcast’s historical performance alongside your current analytics. Your imported analytics are not IAB Certified by Captivate.
Here’s how to move your analytics.
Download a .csv report of your show’s analytics from your current podcast host (if you’re unsure of how to do this with your current host, contact their support team to download the file for you)
Log in to your Captivate account
Click My Podcasts in the left hand menu
Click Add New Podcast
Click Import Your Podcast
Follow the steps to import your show
Click Import my podcast
After you click the Import My Podcast button, you’ll be shown a welcome page to Captivate, with various options to choose from. The final one is Import analytics from your previous host.
Click that link - this will open up the Analytics section on your Captivate dashboard, and automatically select Legacy Analytics.
click the Import Your Legacy Analytics button
drag and drop/upload the .csv file with your current analytics
Captivate will display a snapshot of the imported data
if this looks correct, click Continue
on the next screen, confirm the data you want to import
click Continue
choose a name for your analytics graph
click Continue
run a final check that the data is correct, and check the “I confirm” box to confirm the data has been correctly formatted, and these analytics will be separate from your Captivate analytics
click Accept and Import
That’s it - you’ve imported your old analytics into your new Captivate account, and can access these at any time from the Legacy Analytics tab on your Captivate dashboard!
