Keyword Research

Find keywords that your audience is searching for on YouTube, with data on search volume and competition.

How to Use

  1. Go to Keyword Research from the sidebar
  2. Enter a seed keyword or topic (e.g., "content marketing")
  3. Click Search
  4. AI generates a list of keyword opportunities with:
  • Keyword phrase
  • Estimated search volume (relative: Low, Medium, High)
  • Competition level
  • Opportunity score

Understanding Results

The best keywords are high volume + low competition. These are topics many people search for but few creators make videos about.

Tips

  • Start broad ("content creation") then go specific ("content creation for beginners 2026")
  • Look for question-based keywords ("how to", "what is", "why does")
  • Check what keywords your competitors rank for using Channel Analyzer
  • Use the "Generate More" button to get additional keyword batches
