What's included
Real searches, straight from YouTube Analytics
Not estimates or keyword guesses: the searches YouTube recorded for your own video.
Exact search queries
The words viewers typed into YouTube before watching, with the views and watch time each one brought.
Coverage check
Every search is checked against your title, description and tags so you see what’s missing.
Traffic sources
How much of the video’s audience comes from search versus suggested videos, browse, Shorts and more.
Recent vs lifetime
Searches still bringing viewers in the last 28 days are flagged, so you optimize for what’s working now.
Add missing searches as tags
Tick the searches you want and add them as tags without leaving VidStats, within YouTube’s tag limit.
Your data only
Read with your own YouTube connection. YouTube only shares search terms with the channel that uploaded the video.
Also inside YouTube
With the VidStats Chrome extension, open ✦ Pro in the Studio Dock on one of your videos to see its search terms while you watch it.
