Most of us here are aware of the basic YouTube video SEO tips like how you should use descriptions that are detailed, how you can make the video engaging, and how you should be using keywords in the post title.

Let’s talk more about their plans, let’s start with the pro version which is only $10 per month, it might sound too much for an entry level YouTube publisher but after you learn about its features you would feel that $10 is a small price you are paying for to get amazing features. VidIQ is basically a video analytics and marketing tool for publishers on YouTube. This tool analyzes your account and then gives you insights that are meaningful and could help you make decisions that are actionable.  It’s more than just your regular SEO tool and it offers you the analytics of your videos so that they can learn how the users interact with other users.

You can get started with this easily, all you need is to make sure that you have connected your YouTube account. It’ll import all your videos to your dashboard and from there the magic begins. You can sort the columns based on the shares, the likes, the views, and other parameters too. This allows you to have an idea of the popular videos from your YouTube channel.
