How the scores are calculated

YouTube search volume is not available from outside YouTube. So the index is built from public metrics TubeClaws collects, using videos uploaded in the last 30 days with the search term in the title.

  • Demand (0–100) — total views of those videos, on a log scale where 10,000 views is 0 and 1 billion is 100.
  • Competition (0–100) — half from the number of channels that uploaded them (log scale, 1 channel is 0 and 1,000 is 100) and half from the share of views that channels with 100,000+ subscribers hold among the top 20 videos. Lower means easier to enter.
  • Overall (0–100) — demand × (1.25 − competition ÷ 100). With no demand it is 0 even if competition is low. 60 or more is high, under 40 is low.
  • Related keywords — keywords that appear in two or more of the top 20 videos by views, ordered by views.

No score is given when fewer than 3 videos match.

Before you rely on the number

Only videos TubeClaws has collected are counted. Videos it has not collected are left out, so results can differ from actual YouTube search volume or rankings. The same term shows the same result for up to 6 hours.
