Quick Start Guide
This guide walks you through the entire process of getting set up with BuzzyPod, from creating your account to seeing your first analytics.
1. Create your account
Head to BuzzyPod and sign up with your email and password.
2. Create your team
After signing in, you'll be prompted to create a team. Give it a name (e.g., your podcast network or show name). You can invite team members later from the Team settings page.
3. Add your podcast
Navigate to your dashboard and add your podcast's RSS feed URL. BuzzyPod will validate the feed and pull in your show details automatically.
4. Set up analytics tracking
To track downloads, you need to add a tracking prefix to your podcast host. This is a one-time setup that takes just a few minutes.
We have a dedicated guide for this: Setting Up Tracking Quick Start
If you need platform-specific instructions, see our Host Setup Guides.
5. See your analytics
Once the prefix is active, downloads will start flowing into your BuzzyPod dashboard. Depending on your host, this can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours.
You'll be able to see:
- Daily download trends on the Overview Dashboard
- Per-episode performance on the Episodes page
- Side-by-side comparisons on the Compare page
