Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get more subscribers on YouTube?
Focus on content that converts viewers into subscribers. ChannelBoost identifies your highest-converting videos and shows you the patterns that drive subscriber growth. Create more content like your best performers, optimize your video packaging (titles, thumbnails), and improve retention to keep viewers watching longer.
What is a YouTube channel audit?
A channel audit is a comprehensive analysis of your YouTube channel's performance. It examines your content quality, video performance patterns, audience retention, and growth trends. ChannelBoost provides automated channel audits that identify underperforming content and give you specific recommendations to improve.
How do I improve audience retention on YouTube?
Improving retention starts with understanding where viewers drop off. ChannelBoost shows you exact timestamps where viewers leave and lets you compare against top-performing videos. Common fixes include stronger hooks in the first 30 seconds, better pacing, pattern interrupts, and delivering on your title promise faster.
How do I find competitor videos that are working?
ChannelBoost monitors channels similar to yours and surfaces their top-performing videos. We track velocity (how fast videos gain views), outlier scores (videos performing above the channel's average), and trending topics. This helps you spot opportunities before they become saturated.
What are outlier videos on YouTube?
Outlier videos are videos that perform significantly better than a channel's average. They often indicate topics or formats that resonate with audiences. ChannelBoost identifies outliers from competitors so you can learn from what's working and adapt those strategies for your channel.
How does ChannelBoost generate video ideas?
Our video ideas engine analyzes what's working in your niche by looking at trending topics, competitor successes, and your own best performers. We then generate personalized ideas with title options, hook suggestions, and thumbnail concepts based on proven patterns.
Do I need a minimum number of videos or subscribers?
ChannelBoost works best for channels with at least 10 videos and some view history. The more data we have, the better our insights. However, even newer channels can benefit from competitor analysis and video ideas based on niche trends.
Is ChannelBoost free to use?
You can connect your channel and see basic insights for free. Pro features like unlimited video ideas, advanced retention analysis, and competitor tracking require a subscription.
How is ChannelBoost different from YouTube Studio?
YouTube Studio shows you raw data. ChannelBoost interprets that data and gives you specific, actionable recommendations. We also add competitor analysis, AI video ideas, and niche benchmarking that YouTube doesn't provide.
Is my channel data secure?
Yes. We use OAuth 2.0 for authentication (we never see your password), request only read-only analytics access, and encrypt all stored data. We never share your information with third parties.
