What if Podscribe missed my aircheck?

There are a few things to check:

Date Range Overlaps With Ad Publish Date?

First, is the ad within a campaign's date range? The episode's publish date must fall within a campaign’s start and end dates for our system to match the ad to a campaign. For Baked-In and Faked-In campaigns, it will only show impressions after the ad has been labeled in the transcript episode.

Episode Transcribed?

Second, was the episode transcribed? To get an aircheck, the episode must have been transcribed. To check, head to the show page, find the episode that should have your ad in it, then see if the ‘CC’ indicator has been boldened. This tells you if the episode was transcribed.

If the episode is not yet transcribed, click on the episode, head to the Transcript tab, and then click “Request Transcript!”. The transcript should be available in a few minutes.

Ad Labeled Correctly?

Third, was the ad correctly labeled? This can happen when the advertiser for a campaign is Babbel but the system incorrectly hears the ad as being for a similar sounding advertiser, like Babe Lash Cosmetics. A quick fix is to re-label the aircheck. Here’s how:

  1. Head to the episode transcript.
  1. Click the pencil icon to edit the transcript.

  1. Ensure that "Is ad?" is checked, then use the drop-down menu to find and select the correct advertiser. Enter the promo code if applicable, and then click “Update”.

New Download, New Ads?

If the ad was not in the episode’s transcript, it may be in another download of the episode. You can have Podscribe refetch and re-analyze the episode audio by using the refresh button on the episode page. After this, the episode will show multiple versions by clicking the dropdown menu with dates:
