Podcasting How To FAQ

Podbean Podcast Geographic statistics are powered by Google Map and make it easy for you to see where your audience is coming from.

Here's how to set up your Podcast Geographic Statistics:

1) Log into your Podbean account.

2) Click 'Statistics', located in your dashboard menu at the top of the page, and then select 'Geographic Statistics' from the sub-menu. Copy the 'Site URL' podbean has allocated to you for future reference (as shown below).

3) Follow the two-step instructions to set up your statistics. First click on www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html, which will take you to a separate Google site (as shown below). This will allow you to create your maps.

Paste the 'Site URL' that Podbean gave you in the 'My web site URL' box (as shown below). Check the 'I have read and agree with the terms and conditions' box (after reading them, of course), and then click on the 'Generate API Key' button to create your Google Map Key.

Copy and paste this Key in to the box provided on your Podbean page, and click 'Submit'.

4) Your geographic Podcast stats will be shown within 2 minutes.

5) Please make sure you correctly copy the Site URL when applying to the Google Map Key or your statistics will not work correctly.
