Best tool to get YouTube Keyword suggestions

VidIQ helped me personally know when i rank for a specific keyword and track which videos are doing better. Keyword suggestion is the best option, it help generate automatically keywords that are related to your main keyword list, and rank for most of them.

Pros:

The tool can help with keyword research, trends, Thumbnails, even marking what keywords you rank in all in one page. The Youtube extension makes it easier rather than programs which is very innovative.

Cons:

Overall i have no cons in mind, since i did see any concept like this executed better than VidIQ

Best Software for Youtube SEO

Good Tool. Comes in handy if you are planning to make a youtube video and are out of ideas.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I like the details and features it has to offer. Its free version shows limited data but still its enough to analyze your channel SEO. You can even stalk your competitor's video data and see their traffic sources too. I can see my competitors tags too and use them in my video.

Cons:

I have used other SEO plugins too and have found that the shown data is not always accurate and does not work for newer channels. You still need some manual views or views through social media in order for the SEO to come in handy later. Also, this software is a little bit more complex than others.

if you want to grow on youtube you need this software

I have started to actually dig deep on it and I will be getting the paid account next month since we are making a youtube strategy for growth. It will help me grow the new videos and the older ones will be getting more views and data without a doubt.

Pros:

It gives full statistics and analytics on youtube in a really easy to understand way. You can get keywords, tags, titles, score and many more even in the free account. The paid account has a lot of data that you can use to improve your youtube project and videos, and every piece of info is rigth there on screen, no need to access any external app or additional plugins. You get everything on realtime on top of youtube.

Cons:

Maybe some parts of the free account are too limited (like only three tags available on the free account) but its just a minor issue since you get lots of data anyway.

Pros:

Their annual pricing plans is the one I love the most, which begins at $7.50 per month, billed at $30 per year, making it very possible for many newbies to utilize the tool with no hassle. vidIQ Video optimization is 100% sure. vidIQ provides me with lots of useful information about my YouTube channel, and I can easily determine my competitors, by the help of their keywords feature, obtain the best titles, thumbnails, tags and etc, all for my videos and for the growth of my YouTube channel.

Cons:

I do not expect vidIQ to be the only source of my YouTube channel development, because it was only deigned to assist in YouTube channel growth. So for me, I don't see anything negative with vidIQ, no cons found.

Cons:

Some services are missing which they make you upgrade for and pay more for a most expensive tier which doesn't provide many benefits for the cost.

Pros:

I like Vidiq than other youtube marketing tool. I started using vidiq for my youtube channel because before it I don't get any view in my video but after using it for more than months I am getting a good view and my subscribers are also growing. They give you a popular tag. It can help your channel to grow. You also can search low competition keywords, look at which video is trending. look deep into your competition and make better than them so you can get more viewers for your youtube channel.

Cons:

I don't find any cons. It is the best youtube marketing tool. If you want to grow your youtube channel.

Ease of use

Pros:

The free version of vidIQ gives you nearly everything you need to start off your journey as a youtuber. Market research, tags, statistics of other and your video, things you should do to improve your channel's chance of discovery and loads more. It's not tough to see why I like the extension.

Cons:

For me, as a free version user there are apsolutely no downsides, other than the stuff that is locked behind a paywall. But as with everything, in order to get the full version, you would have to pay money (which is reasonable).

vidIQ is awesome

Functionality

Pros:

vidIQ has everything you need to get you started on your youtube journey. The software has plenty of free features that help me grow my channel every week I use it. The optimization checklist is possibly the most important tool, next to the tags research and copy function. The only thing you need for it to work is a free chrome extension. There are multiple key features that are unlocked on the free version that can help you from the start.

Cons:

The one feature that I regret that requires me to upgrade to a paid plan is the keyword research. But if you want, it's not expensive to pay for the full paid version of the software.
