In the realm of free YouTube SEO tools, VidIQ and TubeBuddy reign supreme. However, there’s a new sheriff in town that’s definitely worth checking out. Yes, friends, we’re talking about TuBeast. While this tool is relatively new and shrouded in mystery, it’s definitely giving the “big guys” on the block a run for their money.
In this article, we’re going to thoroughly review TuBeast in all its glory. From pricing plans to all the different features (and the super cool Chrome extension!), we’re going to give our unbiased review, so you could get acquainted with the tool and decide if it’s the right one for you. So without further ado, let’s dive right in.
YouTube Keyword Tool
TuBeast’s YouTube Keyword Tool works intuitively and is very simple to operate. All you have to do is type in your target keyword into the search bar and choose your location. Then, click on “Research” and analyze the results.
In the results, you will find several sections. First, TuBeast will search Google.com to see if there are any video results for your target keyword on the search engine. Next, it will show you Trending Keywords. Finally, TuBeast will show you Related Keywords. You can click on the magnifying glass next to any keyword to research it. Another important thing to note here is competition scores - TuBeast will show you just how easy or hard it will be to rank for a specific keyword on the list.
Advanced Topic Research
Advanced Topic Research is crucial for any YouTuber. This process takes your idea from a “concept” level to an executable video level. This tool will analyze your keyword based on the videos that actually exist on YouTube’s platform to show you what other people did on the same topic and where you can fit your content in. Using advanced NLP technology, this tool analyzes and operates on massive amounts of text to find relevant content for your next YouTube video.
The tool’s results page is divided into three categories -
1. Content Analysis
The Content Analysis tab will show you the most used single words, most used phrases and questions related to your keyword.
2. General Insights
This tab will show you the most suggested videos for the given topic, the most used tags and the most used video categories for your topic.
3. Top Videos Analysis
This tab will analyze the top videos in this topic and will show you general stats and all the tags used in the videos. This will give you an idea for thumbnail styles, video length, etc.
The best part about this tool is that you can share the results with people who don’t use TuBeast. So if you have a team of people you’re working with or if you just want a second pair of eyes to check out your video idea and what TuBeast had to say about it, you can do it by clicking on “Share Report” at the top right corner of the page!
The Beast Tracker
Custom Alerts
TuBeast’s Custom Alerts allow you to set alerts and notifications for given scenarios, as you can see in the picture below -
Rank Trackers
TuBeast’s rank trackers allow you to track your video’s rankings on the platform without having to search for them manually. With the rank tracker you have two options:
This is where TuBeast innovates and leaves the competition in the dust. TuBeast created AI tools that will help you optimize your videos to the max in just a few clicks.
AI Video Analysis
This tool will help you optimize your videos' content. Yes, that’s right - the content! With this amazing tool, all you have to do is upload your video to the platform and wait for the results. The AI will scan your video for hundreds of parameters, data points and psychological cues, and will then tell you what you’re doing wrong in your video and give you tips on how to fix it. Here’s an example report -
And if that’s not enough, you will also be able to download your video transcript directly from TuBeast and make all the changes you need to the transcript so you won’t have weird closed captions ever again.
AI Thumbnail Analysis
This tool is also mind blowing. To start off, you get four different thumbnail analysis options here:
So with this tool you’re not only optimizing your thumbnails - you can also compare your thumbnails against your competition and see which one performs better. This gives you an edge that they probably don’t have (unless they’re also using TuBeast). The thumbnail is analyzed by TuBeast’s AI - it looks at hundreds of data points and parameters to find what you’re doing right and wrong in your thumbnail designs. Then, you get a full report on your thumbnail - including a performance score and tips on how to make your thumbnail perform even better!
Video Metatags Optimization
This tool allows you to optimize your video’s metatags - or metadata - all in one go. You have two options for optimization here:
The optimization report is divided into three sections: one for your titles, one for your tags and one for your description. The best part is the description optimization option - you will get a full report on what’s wrong with your description and tips on how to improve it.
ChannelSight
ChannelSight is your channel analytics tool. Instead of dealing with YouTube Analytics alone, ChannelSight brings you the most important data and information for you to learn from and gain insight. This tool is divided into three sections, with your general channel stats appearing at the top of the page.
General
This is where all of your channel analytics and stats will appear. After picking your time period, you can then see different graphs for every metric (subscribers, views, etc).
Performance
While the General tab was based on a specific time frame, this tab is based on the entire lifetime of your channel. This is helpful if you want to view your best performing videos by certain data metrics (such as watch-time, for example).
Insights
This tab provides you with a high-level overview of the key performance indicators that are related to your channel. These indicators help you understand what YouTube’s Analytics actually tell you. This, in turn, helps you better understand all the metrics and data that YouTube Analytics gives you, and helps you zone-in on problem areas and improve them.
VideoSight
VideoSight takes all of your YouTube videos and puts them into one place. From the VideoSight page you can pick any video and analyze it.
Your VideoSight will then scan your video and help you optimize it by sections:
