In Short

What makes a great radio station website?

A great radio station website extends the station beyond the dial. It has a live stream player that keeps playing as listeners browse, shows the schedule, hosts and recently played songs, publishes podcasts and on-demand segments, posts local news and events, runs contests with official rules, offers advertisers audience information, packages and a contact form, and links required FCC items like the online public file and EEO information.

Beyond the website

Grow Listeners and Ad Revenue

Stations grow through engaged listeners across platforms and advertisers who see results. Four channels help. A care plan keeps schedules and contests current.

Select a strategy below to see what we do.

Strategy one: Social media

Extend Shows Beyond the Airwaves

Clips from shows, host moments and contest posts on social media bring new listeners to the stream.

Pro tip: Post a short clip from each morning show. Clips introduce hosts to new listeners.

What we do
Strategy two: SEO

Rank for Local News and Shows

Local news, event listings and podcast pages bring search traffic that turns into listeners.

Pro tip: Publish show notes for each podcast episode. They help episodes get found.

What we do
Strategy three: Email marketing

Keep Listeners Connected

A weekly newsletter with contests, events and show highlights keeps listeners engaged and tuning in.

Pro tip: Feature an upcoming contest in every newsletter. It drives both opens and listening.

What we do
Strategy four: AI visibility

Be the Station AI Assistants Suggest

People ask smart speakers and AI assistants to play local stations. Clear station details help those tools find and recommend you.

Pro tip: Explain how to play your station on smart speakers with the exact phrase to say.

What we do
Strategy five: Maintenance & support

Keep Streams, Schedules and Contests Current

Schedules change and contests rotate. Patching and backups are covered; we also keep schedules, contests and compliance links right.

Pro tip: Post official rules before each contest is announced on air.
