Podcast Performance
Attribution to usc.com from podcast releases · GA4 rolling 90-day window
Three views of how podcast episodes drive traffic to usc.com. Each panel below labels its confidence: 🎯 Precise direct GA4 measurement (UTM-tagged clicks), 📊 Estimated inferred from session lift around release dates, 🔍 Audit a scan of episode descriptions for tagging hygiene (not traffic).

Combined sessions
What this measures: of every session that arrived on usc.com from a podcast UTM link, how many landed first on a high-intent page — /frameworks/…, /newsletter/…, /pricing/, or /howwework/. These pages signal a real evaluation step (downloading a lead magnet, checking pricing, exploring services), not casual browsing. Timeframe: trailing 90 days from GA4. Why it matters: raw "sessions from the podcast" only tells you traffic showed up. Intent-page rate tells you whether the listener was a prospect when they arrived — the gap between an interested ear and a qualified lead.

What this measures: for each Spotify episode released inside the last 90 days, compares average daily sessions in the 7 days after release to the 30 days before. Because GTM Science releases roughly weekly, the baseline includes other release weeks — so the metric reads as "did this release outperform a typical release week?" rather than vs a hypothetical no-release baseline. Captures untagged-but-real podcast lift (listeners who typed the URL or searched the brand) that pure UTM tracking misses. Limitation: correlation, not causation — coincident traffic from email, ads, or organic search can be misread as podcast lift. Episodes outside the 90-day window or without 7+ days of baseline data are skipped.

What this measures: hygiene check on episode descriptions — does each episode's show-notes link to usc.com use the expected UTM convention (utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast-shownotes&utm_campaign=<slug>)? Scans YouTube descriptions live and the Spotify-hosted RSS feed (which also serves Apple Podcasts). Drift = both platforms tag the CTA but use different campaign slugs — the worst class of attribution problem because traffic can't be reconciled across platforms.

Legend — status colors and numbers explained
Status
Clean proper UTM convention Legacy non-standard tags Untagged usc.com link without UTM No CTA no usc.com link found Not on YT/RSS episode missing from this platform
Drift
⚠ same episode tagged differently across YouTube vs RSS — attribution can't reconcile across platforms
Match type
No marker = exact title-slug match between YouTube and RSS. ~ = fuzzy match: YouTube and RSS episodes paired by ≥2 meaningful word overlap AND publish dates within 14 days of each other. Used when YT publishes the same content under a different title.
Traffic (90d)
42·18 eng total GA4 sessions for that episode's campaign(s), with engaged count — no campaign attached (untagged or no CTA) — nothing to look up When the episode has Drift, traffic is summed across both YT and RSS campaigns. A small ⚠ appears next to the number.
Per CTA (expand)
N sessions · N engaged exact landing-page match N campaign sessions (any landing) same campaign, different landing path — likely the same visitor already counted in a teal row above 0 sessions no GA4 traffic to this campaign
Session = one visit to usc.com (resets after 30 min idle). Engaged session = visit lasted >10 seconds, viewed 2+ pages, or triggered a conversion event. All counts cover the last 90 days from GA4.
