How We Use vidIQ to Plan and Improve Our YouTube Videos
We use vidIQ as part of our YouTube planning and review process. Here’s how we use its tools for video ideas, keyword research, competitor analysis, and channel planning.
1. Explore video ideas
We use topic and keyword suggestions as starting points for future videos. We still choose ideas that fit our channel and the stories we want to tell.
2. Research keywords and review video details
Keyword research: Explore relevant terms for titles, descriptions, and tags.
Competitor analysis: Look at what similar creators are publishing and consider what we can learn.
Optimization suggestions: Review the suggestions and decide which are useful for a particular video.
3. Review our channel and plan what to test
Channel analysis, trends, and analytics can help us organize questions about our videos and audience. We use them to decide what to test next, rather than treating a recommendation as a guaranteed result.
How vidIQ fits into our workflow
We use vidIQ to explore video ideas, research keywords, and review our channel’s performance. It helps us organize what to test next, while the results depend on the videos we make and how viewers respond.
