Email verification
Confirm access to the podcast owner email found in the RSS metadata.
Build & publish
Publish only after podcast ownership is verified
Castee separates public feed import from publishing authority so creators can explore a draft without letting someone else claim their show.
Ownership verification is a publishing requirement on every plan.
What it does
Podcast ownership verification, without the vague promises.
Public RSS data can be imported for a draft, but the right to publish a branded website must be verified.
The primary flow sends a verification message to the owner email exposed by the podcast feed. A manual path covers feeds without a usable owner email.
Publish lock
Keep publishing unavailable until ownership requirements are satisfied.
Manual review path
Provide a fallback when the public feed does not expose a workable owner address.
How it works
From setup to public site.
Use the same controlled workflow whether you are starting your first website or maintaining an established show.
- 01
Import the feed
Castee reads the public podcast metadata.
- 02
Request verification
Use the available owner email or begin the documented manual path.
- 03
Unlock publishing
Publish after the verification state is approved.
SEO impact
How this feature supports a searchable podcast site.
Castee handles repeatable technical work while you control the accuracy, usefulness, and editorial quality of the public content.
Not a search signal
Castee verification is a product safety control, not a Google ranking factor.
Consistent ownership
It helps keep site administration tied to an authorized podcast operator.
Accurate public identity
Authorized owners can maintain canonical domains, branding, and show information over time.
Why is verification required?
A public RSS feed can be read by anyone. Verification prevents someone from publishing an official-looking Castee site without authority.
What if my RSS feed has no owner email?
Use the manual review path described in the product workflow.
Does verification improve rankings?
No. It is an authorization control, not an SEO ranking feature.
