Pre-Production Checklist

4. Prepare tracking links/UTM parameters for CTA.

Production

Podcast Maker Workflow

1. Analysis
   • Identify audience problem, funnel stage, and conversion target.
   • Confirm narrative consistency with current campaign brief.
2. Research
   • Source current market signals and competitor references.
   • Prioritize proof points that support differentiation.
3. Script
   • Build structure: pain → insight → product fit → CTA.
   • Include one data point per major section.
4. Render
   • Review speed, clarity, and brand-safe claims.
   • Validate mention timing for campaign CTA.
5. Export
   • Export final audio, show notes, and tracked links.
   • Distribute through campaign channels and reporting dashboards.

Optimization

Success Criteria

• Script contains campaign-approved positioning and compliance-safe claims.
• CTA tracking is operational before publishing.
• Episode is repurposed into at least one nurture asset.
• Post-launch KPI review scheduled within 7 days.

Checkpoints

• Before render: Validate legal/brand language for product statements.
• After render: Confirm numeric data and URLs are accurate.
• After publish: Compare KPI lift against non-podcast campaign assets.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Fixes

• Weak KPI movement: Reposition CTA and tighten audience targeting.
• Message drift: Anchor every section to the campaign brief.
• Overly dense script: Simplify to one claim + one proof per segment.
• Slow approval cycles: Pre-approve reusable product messaging blocks.
• Attribution gaps: Standardize UTM + dashboard tagging before launch.
