Here&#8217;s 6 of them you should not miss out:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1) Overall Score<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, our YouTube channel auditor gives a quick snapshot of your channel&#8217;s health through an overall score ranging from 0 to 100. The score is calculated based on various factors like video performance, audience engagement, metadata optimization, etc. Typically, a score below 75 shows that your channel needs to be optimized immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">2) S<\/span>uggestions<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just after the overall score, we will give you some suggestions to improve your YouTube channel audit score. You might receive advice on meta description, frequency of posting, or even the content strategy. Remember, each suggestion is tailored to your specific channel data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3) Performance Analysis of the Last 50 Videos<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a detailed breakdown of your recent content performance with an analysis of your last 50 videos. You can see a table that illustrates the views, likes (total and engagement rate), and comments (total and engagement rate). You can filter them by highest views, likes, comments, engagement rate, etc. Use this data to improve your low-performing videos, refine your content strategy and create more of what your audience loves. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4) Top 5 Most Viewed Videos<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our YouTube channel audit tool will give you a list of the five most-viewed ones among the last 50 videos. Analyze these top performers to understand what topics, styles, or formats drive the most traffic to your channel. This way, you can detect the content ideas that your audience craves. For example, if you see more likes and comments for review videos, you can focus on publishing similar content to get more engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5) Metadata Comparison<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, YouTube SEO is a mystery for even popular content creators. We offer a separate section to help you optimize your video SEO with a metadata comparison of your last 50 videos. It shows you three main results: title status, description status, and tags status. You will get a clear picture of the videos with tag issues and fix them immediately to uplift their search engine rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>6) YouTube Channel information<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The YouTube Channel Information section provides five main pieces of information: banner, logo, uploading frequency, description, and playlists. It lets you know whether the owner of the channel has done such basic things for the channel, which is crucial to getting reach.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who Should Use YouTube Channel Audit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, our YouTube channel audit online tool is helpful for anyone working closely with the platform.

It helps you understand whether your content strategy is on the right track, based on engagement rate. Remember, when you create videos that interest your audience, they are more likely to hit the like and subscribe button.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><strong>Competitor Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metrics and topic research tools work well.

That&#8217;s where our 100% Free Youtube channel audit tool helps you. It gives valuable suggestions to help you fix the tag issues and do the YouTube SEO yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Do SEO of YouTube Channel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating quality content is obviously the primary factor but not replaceable with SEO. If you want to rank your videos on the first scroll of the results page, there is no other way than SEO. Check out how to optimize YouTube channel for SEO:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1) <strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Conduct Keyword Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with identifying the keywords that your target audience is looking for. You can use some YouTube channel SEO checker tools to get some valuable suggestions. Otherwise, YouTube&#8217;s search engine itself is a valuable resource. Type in a niche-related keyword and the search bar will give you all the attractive keywords related to that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, it is also a good idea to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/youtube-video-analytics-checker\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">analyze your competitor videos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to note the keywords for which they rank their videos. Try to list them out after breaking them into primary, secondary, and long tail keywords. Now, incorporate them naturally into your descriptions and tags.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2) <strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Utilize Captions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video captions are not just for viewers with hearing challenges. It is useful for viewers watching videos on mute, which is obviously a large percentage. A lot of content creators leave this part to YouTube&#8217;s automatic captions, which is a significant SEO blunder. Automatic captions could mess up user experience as they have a history of displaying inaccurate captions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, YouTube captions are actually a goldmine to include your keywords. So, why waste it with automation? Most probably, you will speak out industry-relevant keywords in your videos. Including them in captions will make your video more visible to the audience searching for such phrases.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3) <strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Add Timestamps<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, viewers are becoming lazy and want to skim and scan through videos. That&#8217;s why YouTube added a feature called timestamps. Ensure you use them to improve the user experience, which is the primary factor for getting ranked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it&#8217;s not just about improving user experience. When a user types in a query, the Google search engine may look for similar keywords in YouTube timestamps. If your chapter titles match, your YouTube video will be displayed in the search engine results along with the timestamp dropdown. Therefore, chapters should always be added to both videos and descriptions with relevant topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4)<strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\"> Include Hashtags<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hashtags are not going anywhere. They still play a crucial role in ranking your videos on the search engine results page. Check out how it works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hashtags often appear at the beginning of the description, signifying what your video is about. This helps the search engine to identify your video topic and match it with the user query.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That doesn&#8217;t mean stuffing as many hashtags to rank videos for maximum keywords. Add only 2 to 3 hashtags, as more may create a spammy impression on the algorithm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5) <strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Update Your Old Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us guess. You have a good old video that spurs a sudden reach and engagement spike. But over time, it got covered by other videos, and the reach dwindled. You have pinned it to your &#8216;popular videos&#8217; playlist to showcase the historical success. What if you can get the same reach using the same video?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, refresh your old popular videos with updated meta descriptions and thumbnails. This way, search engine algorithms will detect your videos again and push them to others feeds. As a result, you can regain the lost traction with minimal effort. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>6) <strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Backlinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like websites, backlinks are one of the most critical factors in YouTube SEO.

Check out five important metrics that you must note down in your YouTube channel audit:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Watch Time:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is the total amount of time viewers have spent on your videos. YouTube always prefers channels with higher watch time, even in terms of monetization. If you are able to engage your audience for a longer time, your videos are more likely to get suggested on the platform. Check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenostube.com\/en\/youtube-watch-time-calculator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">watch time calculator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to analyze your YouTube channel\u2019s engagement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Average View Duration:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is the metric that shows how long viewers watch your videos, on average. Average view duration is a direct metric that shows your audience engagement. If viewers consistently leave after a few seconds or minutes, it&#8217;s a sign that you need to improve the quality or structure of your videos.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Click-Through Rate: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CTR shows how often viewers click to watch your videos after seeing just the title and thumbnail. It helps you to check whether you&#8217;ve succeeded in creating a first impression on the audience. As part of your YouTube channel audit, review your CTR to see which types of titles work best for your audience.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Audience Retention: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It refers to the percentage of videos that your viewers watch. Audience retention clearly shows which parts of your videos are most engaging and which lose viewers. You can even consider creating a dedicated video for parts with the highest retention rates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Subscriber Growth:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As the name suggests, it measures the growth of your YouTube channel subscribers. With the subscription growth, you can track your channel&#8217;s ability to build and retain new audiences. Whenever you change your content strategy, subscriber growth is one of the first metrics to check the efficiency of the new approach. A steady increase in subscribers is a good sign that your content resonates with your audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><strong>Frequently Answered Questions (FAQs)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>How does your YouTube channel audit give an overall score?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our YouTube channel audit tools analyze a YouTube channel&#8217;s various factors, like video performance, audience engagement, upload frequency, and metadata optimization, to give an overall score out of 100. Ideally, the score must be above 90. We will also provide tailored suggestions as to how to improve the score.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How does your YouTube channel audit work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our YouTube channel audit system works by connecting with YouTube&#8217;s API. From the API, our automated system collects all relevant data like views, likes, comments, meta descriptions, etc. Since the data is collected directly from YouTube, the results will be accurate and up-to-date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are YouTube channel owners notified when I view their YouTube Analytics?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, none would get notified. We are accessing only publicly available data that anyone can see on YouTube. No one can view the channels that you have analyzed through our tool. In fact, our system itself automatically delays all your inputs every week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can I get more subscribers with your YouTube channel audit tool?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, but not directly. By knowing what works for your competitor, you can try out the same strategy for your YouTube channel. As a result, your reach, as well as the subscriber count, will skyrocket in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Wrap<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how much you grow, a close eye on metrics and competitor strategies is required to survive on a dynamic platform like YouTube.
