  5. Check your email for the code and paste it back into Google Podcasts Manager.
  6. Click Submit.
  7. Google Podcasts will confirm your submission, and take up to 24 hours to process your podcast distribution request.

Podcast not appearing on Google after two weeks?

If you still can't find your podcast on Google Podcasts two weeks after submitting it, you can check its status and generate a listing link by using Google’s Podcast Publisher:

  1. Get your RSS feed from your Podcast Availability page.
  2. Head to Google's Podcast Publisher, paste your RSS feed, and click Generate.
  3. Your listing link should appear. Add it to your Podcast Availability page.

Episode not publishing to Google Podcasts?

Google Podcasts uses bots to automatically check for podcast updates. To trigger a manual update:

  1. Head to this Google page
  2. Paste your RSS feed into the Publisher Diagnostics field and click Get Info.
  3. This pulls the most recent information Google has read from your RSS feed. If it's not up-to-date, you can trigger a feed refresh.
  4. Return to the same Google page, paste your RSS feed into the Publish field, and click Publish.
  5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 again to confirm the update was successful.
