Although Google doesn’t provide the absolute number of searches for a given keyword (1M searches per month for “apples”), they do allow you to see what the ratio of search volume is between two keywords (“apples” is searched 10x more than “pears”, so has a ratio of 10). Our study calculated the ratio reported by each tool for an identical set of 50 pairs of keywords, then these ratios were then compared against the known-accurate ratio reported by Google Trends using a formula that's commonly used for calculating accuracy — called Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE). The results of our study are below. 🏆 ACCURACY (compared to Google Trends): ChannelStudio channelstudio.com 99% accuracy vidIQ vidiq.com 52% accuracy TubeBuddy tubebuddy.com 46% accuracy Based on a SMAPE study of 50 keyword pairs.

Use search volume data from our keyword planner to optimize your videos to get more views from YouTube search & find ideas for videos you know have demand. 🚥 DIFFICULTY LEVEL Gauge how hard it is to rank in YouTube for a keyword — Targeting keywords with massive search volume can be tempting, but a new channel would be very unlikely to rank for them. Target keywords that are easier to rank for early on, then compete for more difficult keywords as your channel grows. 📈 GROWTH TREND Identify top trending YouTube keywords & topics — The keywords that have been popular since the dawn of YouTube are already saturated with high-quality videos. Find untapped YouTube trends that are growing quickly within your niche so you can jump on them before everyone else discovers the opportunity. ✳️ LONG-TAIL KEYWORDS Uncover less competitive long-tail keywords — Our related keyword suggestion tool shows you the top autocomplete suggestions from YouTube. These keywords are longer, more-specific phrases that include the main keyword, which typically have a lower difficulty level. 🏷️ YOUTUBE TAGS Reveal which tags the top-ranking YouTube channels are using — Our tag extractor & generator will show you the top hashtags being used by the videos that are already ranking for a given keyword, so you can include them for search optimization of your own videos, as well as discover other interesting terms & phrases to research. These competitor analysis features help you understand what the most successful channels in your niche are doing, so you can adopt their winning strategies. 🛟 SUPPORT & PRIVACY If you need help with your account or the product, you can contact our support team at support@channelstudio.com.
