When to use it
A podcaster wants to grow their ratings and reviews — the #1 factor for algorithmic recommendation in Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Reviews signal quality to both platforms and potential new listeners who see them before subscribing.
Common triggers:
- Launching a new podcast — start collecting reviews immediately
- Stagnant growth — reviews plateaued
- Post-episode CTA — every episode should mention reviews
- Guest requests — get them to share the show too
- Review campaign — dedicated push to boost ratings
- New season launch — reviews signal momentum
- Competitor analysis — checking what top shows do differently
What this skill does NOT do:
- This is not review monitoring or response (that's community management)
- This is not fake review generation (never buy fake reviews)
- This is not Apple/Spotify account setup
- This is not incentive programs for reviews (legal concerns)
Mistakes to avoid
- Asking too early — Before listeners know if they like you
- Asking too aggressively — Sounds desperate, not genuine
- Not providing direct links — Make it easy — friction = no reviews
- Ignoring negative reviews — Signals you don't care
- Only asking once — Mention it regularly but lightly
- Buying reviews — Violates ToS and destroys credibility
- Responding defensively to negatives — Never fight with reviewers
- Asking for 5 stars without reading — Undermines trust
