Operations Dashboard — Pod Consulting Group
Your Podcast Operation, Tracked from Concept to Audience
We run podcast consulting like a production studio runs a control room. Every engagement is a live project with milestones, deliverables, and measurable audience outcomes — not vague advice.
Production Pipeline
Every podcast engagement follows a transparent pipeline. You always know where your project stands.
Discovery Audit
We audit your goals, audience, competitive landscape, and brand voice. Deliverable: a 12-page Strategy Brief.
Format & Identity Design
Episode structure, intro/outro scripting, cover art direction, music licensing guidance, and RSS configuration.
Pilot Production
We produce three pilot episodes with full editing, mixing, show-notes, and transcript. Internal review before public launch.
Launch & Growth Ops
Distribution to Apple, Spotify, Google, and niche directories. Ongoing audience analytics, guest booking support, and monetisation roadmap.
"We came to Pod Consulting Group with a rough concept and zero technical knowledge. Fourteen weeks later we had a top-50 business podcast in Northern Ireland. The pipeline approach meant we never felt lost."

Common Questions
Not necessarily. For remote recordings we guide you through a minimal setup (often just a USB microphone and quiet room). For in-person sessions, our studio in Northern Ireland is fully equipped. Enterprise clients sometimes receive a loaner kit during the pilot phase.
Most Launchpad engagements go live within 10–16 weeks from the first Discovery call. This includes strategy, branding, pilot production, and platform submission. Growth and Enterprise tiers may move faster because of dedicated resources.
Absolutely. We run a standalone Growth Audit for existing shows. It covers analytics review, format critique, distribution gaps, and an actionable 90-day improvement plan. Many of our Growth-tier clients started this way.
At the Growth tier, we build a monetisation roadmap — identifying realistic revenue streams (sponsorship, premium content, live events, merchandise). At Enterprise, we actively match you with sponsors, negotiate rates, and manage insertion logistics.
Launchpad is a one-off project engagement (typically 3–4 months). Growth and Enterprise are ongoing retainers with a 6-month initial commitment, reviewable quarterly after that. We don't lock anyone in — results keep clients here.
