What is a YouTube Channel Audit?
A YouTube channel audit is a structured review of how a channel is performing and where it can improve. This free tool analyzes any public channel using the YouTube Data API and gives you a health score out of 100, a breakdown across 13 areas, and specific recommendations. It works for your own channel or any competitor you want to study.
What the channel audit checks
Each audit looks at the channel's profile and a sample of its 25 most recent uploads, then scores these areas:
- Channel description quality
- Social links and off-platform reach
- Upload consistency and cadence
- Shorts vs long-form vs live content mix
- Main content topics and niche focus
- Average video length
- Title quality and keyword usage
- Description quality and SEO
- Hashtags and chapters
- Average views per video
- Like-to-view engagement ratio
- Comment-to-view engagement ratio
- Overall growth and health score
- Personalized AI recommendations
