This software will help you uncover fresh keyword ideas, track the positions of your YouTube videos, and explore the keyword strategies of your competitors.

Our users love our software, as proved by the positive reviews and high ratings on major review platforms.

YouTube autocomplete works just like Google autocomplete. When you type a target keyword into the YouTube search bar, you see about a dozen autocomplete suggestions. But why not find long tail keywords more effectively?

For that, you can use a free keyword suggestion tool in Rank Tracker. By harnessing the potential of the YouTube autocomplete feature, the tool generates keyword suggestions based on popular queries on a larger scale. Just enter several seed keywords and get a YouTube keyword list of the most popular queries.

Filter high-potential video keywords

YouTube doesn't spill the beans on its keyword stats, making it challenging to gauge the effectiveness of a keyword. But fear not as the Rank Tracker keyword tool gathers statistics from various search engines to estimate performance metrics on YouTube.

And the best part? You can use customizable filters to get rid of queries with low search volumes and high competition, leaving profitable YouTube keyword ideas only.
