What is vidIQ?

 vidIQ is a "YouTube analysis tool" that is an extension of the Google Chrome browser. If you've heard the word "SEO", it might be better to say "YouTube video SEO tool".

 >> vidIQ official website

 vidIQ is popular among overseas YouTubers because it is a YouTube-approved tool as well as being able to use basic functions for free. (Estimated over 3 million users)

 The specific function will be described later, but it will display the score of "what kind of video should be posted to make it easier to play" and give hints for displaying the video at the top of the search ranking.

 You can also analyze rival channels, so you can find "holes" that are not visible to your rivals and strategically extend your YouTube channel.

 Typical features of vidIQ

 From here, I will introduce some specific functions of vidIQ. There are too many features available, so I've narrowed it down to those that I think are particularly important.

Scorecard

 With a function called scorecard, the score (score) based on "how much the video you are viewing is optimized for the search engine" is displayed.

 Specifically, "Is the keyword (search word) firmly contained in the title / video description / tag?" "Is it using high-quality thumbnails?" "Is communication with the viewer in the comment column?" "Such.

 The higher the score, the easier it is for the video to appear higher when searched for a particular search term.

 Not only the score, but also the basic information of the channel that posted this video and the list of tags attached to this video can be checked at the same time.

 This scorecard can be used not only for your own videos but also for other people's videos, so you can use it as an analysis tool for your rivals.

 If you look at the tags, you can see that they have numbers such as # 1 # 2 # 3. This shows the search ranking.

 Please pay attention to the first keyword, "bird's-eye view smartphone".

 The number is "# 1". "# 1" means that if someone searches YouTube for "bird's-eye view smartphone", this video will be displayed first in the search results.

 Again, this can be seen in other people's videos, so you can see what the poster is aiming for.

 The above "How to take a bird's-eye view" video is the one I actually posted, but the aim is completely visible (laughs).

 A thorough analysis of your rival's videos will make it relatively easy to view your videos as related videos. There is nothing scary if you attach even the video of the rival to your side.

 The scorecard can be viewed for free, except for some items.

Keyword Tool

 If you use the keyword tool, you can see "how many times a month is searched for a specific keyword" and "how fierce the competition for keywords is".

 In the above example, I entered "credit card recommendation" to check it. Then, the search volume is displayed as "12,461.9". And since the competition (competition level) is "low", you can see that it is a reasonably good aim.

 It's nice to know the search volume. If you aim for keywords that have not been searched at all, it will be difficult to increase the number of views.

 With the free version of vidIQ, you can display up to 3 related keywords.

 If you upgrade to the paid Pro version (about ¥ 1000 per month) plan, you can display more related keywords. For "Credit Card Recommendations", 37 more keywords will be displayed.

 There is also the advantage that related keywords can determine the topic or title of the next video. So, if you can't decide which video to make, I think it's well worth the upgrade.

 Show percentage of likes

 After installing vidIQ, the percentages will be displayed in the videos displayed in the search results. In the image above, "86%" and "92%".

 These show the ratio of likes to bad (?). Here, we will express it as "like percentage".

 From YouTuber's point of view, if the "Like Percentage" of the top-ranked videos is low overall, you can judge that there is a gap to display your own video. (Of course, it is also necessary to consider the competition rate and the video content of rivals)

 I consider it "high" if it is 90% or more. If vidIQ is 90% or more, it is displayed in green, and if it is less than 90%, it is displayed in yellow or red.

 If the "Like Percentage" of the top-ranked videos is low, you can get hints for making better videos by watching the videos and thinking "Why is this video not rated well?" Will be.

Why is this video so low? Does the title and content not match? Is the introduction too long? Can't the problem be solved even if you look to the end?

 As a viewer, you can use the Like Percentage feature to avoid wasting time watching poor quality videos.

 A poor quality video here is a video that contains offensive content, is a tutorial that cannot solve a problem, or is just long and thin.

 These videos naturally have a lower percentage, so naturally, "Oh, let's not watch this video." * Regardless of the content, the evaluation may be low because there are more antis.

 The "Like Percentage" can be displayed for free, so please use it when watching YouTube videos. If you install vidIQ, it will be displayed automatically.
