How to get a backlink from Audioboom?
The clean method is the podcast-level Website URL, not a promotional URL dropped into every episode description. Audioboom documents this field in Podcast Settings and displays it on the show’s public channel page.
Steps
- Review Audioboom’s hosting plans and create an account. Active publishing currently starts with the Standard plan.
- Set up a genuine show with a title, concise description, category, and square artwork. Audioboom’s Podcast Settings guide says artwork must be a 1400–3000 px square JPEG or PNG under 512 KB.
- In the dashboard, open Podcast Settings and enter your canonical site in Website URL.
- Upload and publish at least one legitimate episode so the channel is useful to listeners rather than an empty link shell.
- Open the public
audioboom.com/channels/...page while logged out. Confirm that the website link is visible and points directly to the intended URL.
The inspected Audio Academy Podcast channel shows its website directly beneath the podcast description:
Link behavior and value
On the inspected channel, the server-delivered and rendered anchor points directly to http://www.audioacademy.org.uk/podcast and uses only rel="noopener". It does not include nofollow, ugc, or sponsored, which supports the dofollow label for the podcast website field as currently rendered.
Do not assume every Audioboom link behaves the same way. A separately inspected external link inside an episode description used rel="nofollow noopener". Use the dedicated podcast website field for the canonical site, then inspect your own public page because Audioboom can change its templates.
A new channel page starts with modest authority despite Audioboom’s strong root domain. Its practical value comes from supporting a real show, giving listeners a trusted route to the publisher’s website, and gaining internal discovery as episodes are published—not from creating an empty channel solely for SEO.
Cost and planning
Audioboom’s current pricing guide lists Standard at $12.99 per month or $129 per year and Plus at $24.99 per month or $249 per year. The cheaper Archive plan keeps existing content online but is not an entry route for publishing a new podcast, so this is not a free backlink method.

Key challenges to get a backlink from Audioboom
- Paid publishing plan: New episodes require at least the Standard plan, currently $12.99 per month or $129 per year.
- Real podcast required: You need audio, square artwork, a useful description, and a show worth publishing; a thin channel made only for a link has little value.
- Mixed link behavior: The inspected channel website field was direct, but episode-description links can carry
nofollow, so verify the exact public link you use. - Template risk: Audioboom can change its outbound-link markup, so recheck the published channel page after launch.
