Apple Podcasts Distribution - Multiple Accounts

We're a small production/content house recording & editing podcasts (video for the most part) for clients among other things we do. We've been asked to add one client's show to Apple and trying to figure our way around the Apple Podcast world.

Since we can't use a phone number with two accounts for standard accounts (really the 2FA is what's tripping us up) we're considering opening up an Apple Business account which I *think* will allow us to create multiple Apple Accounts with one Google Voice number. This would I hope let us set up individual Apple IDs for each client and associate the podcast with each.

If I have a question at all, I'd ask if I'm missing something here? With a business acct can I create apple accounts "podcast1@mail dot com" for that one, then "podcast2@mail dot com" for the second? All tied into the master account phone number for 2FA?

A second question is whether I can at a later point transfer the podcast ownership to the client if for whatever reason they want to self-manage the channel.

Anything else I'm not thinking of?

The question about phone numbers may best be answered by asking Podcasts Support, https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/contact-us

As to the second question this may help:

CHANGE OWNERSHIP OF A PODCAST

It is possible to transfer the ownership of a podcast to another Apple ID: poster tcarreira did this and has posted the method. (This was some time back so things may have changed. If so you will need to go to Podcasts Support anyway: https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/contact-us

0 - Contact apple support from the current owner of the podcast: Contact Us -> Podcasts(My Issue Is Not Listed)*.

... wait for them to answer with further instructions and a code...

1. Insert the authorization code “xxxxxx” in the <itunes:keywords> or <copyright> tag.

2. Verify that your Apple ID is activated.

3. Obtain the direct link to your show on Apple Podcasts.**

4. Customize the statement below, and paste it in your reply to this message.

 

I authorize changing management in Podcasts Connect and access to Podcast Analytics to the account [Apple ID email address]. As requested, I have inserted the authorization code in the [specify tag] tag.

 

Paste the direct link to your show on Apple Podcasts

*Go to Create Apple Podcasts Connect account - Apple Podcasts for Creators and click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.

**To obtain the link in Apple Podcasts app (Mac - Catalina, may be different on later systems) find your podcast and click the three dots icon to the right of the 'Subscribe' button and choose 'Copy Link'. In iTunes - control-click (Mac) or right-click (PC) on the podcast image (or where it should be) and choose 'Copy Link'. If these don't work, search for your podcast by name in Google - add 'podcast' to it if necessary - and cllick on thr link there for the Apple version. The URL you arrive at - the preview page for the podcast - is the URL you need.
