It provides effective features to help you generate maximum views and subscribers on your channel. Here are some of the features that will explain how the tool VidIQ works.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Keyword_Research_Tool\"><\/span>Best Keyword Research Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you type a keyword in the search bar, VidIQ will provide you with key data on that word. For example, if we insert &#8216;dance&#8217; in the search bar, we will get a list of related words, how many people search with that keyword, and how many videos compete with the keyword. VidIQ also suggests adding trending keywords in your video title and description. It provides a list of keywords that the trending videos have in the same niche. You can use tools like an <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/youtube-title-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI title generator for YouTube<\/a> videos to create an eye-catching headline and maximize clicks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suggest_Trending_Videos\"><\/span>Suggest Trending Videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you add VidIQ to Google Chrome Extension, you insert a keyword in the search bar on the topic you want to create a video on, and this tool will give you a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube-marketing\/top-11-trending-topics-for-youtube\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 trending videos<\/a> related to the topic. For example, if you make a dance choreography video, insert a keyword in the search bar to see the latest songs on which you can make videos.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4587 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vidiq-yt-tips.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube VidIQ\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vidiq-yt-tips.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vidiq-yt-tips-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vidiq-yt-tips-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Channel_Analytics\"><\/span>Channel Analytics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The dashboard gives you an overview of how your channel is doing, like the number of subscribers, views, and comments your videos have received. It also helps you analyze where your video receives views (suggested videos, search results). The most remarkable feature of VidIQ is that it provides you with a list of channels that your YT channel is competing with!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Provides_Accurate_Timing\"><\/span>Provides Accurate Timing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is one of the best features that VidIQ provides. You can search for the best time to post videos and might get a list of time zones where you can post videos on your channel. However, VidIQ analyses the time accurately when most of your subscribers are active on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4588\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/yt-vidiq-guide.jpg\" alt=\"YT VIDIQ\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/yt-vidiq-guide.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/yt-vidiq-guide-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/yt-vidiq-guide-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Detailed_Report_Analysis\"><\/span>Detailed Report Analysis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The report gives you an overview of the number of views, likes, and comments all the videos on your channel have received. You can keep updating keywords and tags in your video description by clicking the &#8216;edit&#8217; icon. Use tools like an <a href=\"https:\/\/veefly.com\/youtube-description-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI YouTube description generator<\/a> to create an engaging video description to make your viewer stick around.<\/p>\n<p>If your subscribers have a VidIQ extension on their Google Chrome extension, it allows you to view the content your subscribers are watching when they are not watching your videos. People tend to watch random videos on YouTube, but at least this gives you an overview of what most subscribers are interested in watching.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Time_To_Post\"><\/span>Best Time To Post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Uploading videos on YouTube constantly is good, but knowing when to post is crucial. This is a cool little feature that no other SEO tool has. VidiQ tells you the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/when-to-post-youtube\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best time to publish videos<\/a> and when your subscribers are most active so you can generate maximum views.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Playlists\"><\/span>Top Playlists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Seeing how your playlist performs is impossible, and that&#8217;s when VidIQ becomes handy. You get the data in the world on each video but not the playlist. But that doesn&#8217;t lessen the importance of the playlist, and this is why it is included as one of VidIQ&#8217;s best crucial tools.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_VidIQ_Works_Pros_And_Cons\"><\/span>How VidIQ Works: Pros And Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are some pros and cons of VidIQ if you commit to using its remarkable features.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros\"><\/span>Pros<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>1. The first advantage of using VidIQ is getting access to additional features like subscriber count, the toolbar quick stats, and the like-to-dislike ratio on every video.<\/p>\n<p>2. The video analysis tool of VidiQ offers you a detailed insight into the video in a sidebar, which makes it user-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>3. VidIQ&#8217;s channel audit tool, on the other hand, gives you data about teh information you need to know to understand what&#8217;s working for your videos. Using the tool gives you excessive information about the video.<\/p>\n<p>4. Surprisingly, the tool can trace trends, phrases, and research buzzwords for clients, which helps the creator detour the trial and error phase.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons\"><\/span>Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>1. Since VidIQ renders exclusive services, the tool charges are expected to be high. However, it&#8217;s ideal for an agency or company.<\/p>\n<p>2. The second fact about teh tool is that it is only available for Chrome and not for the other browsers.<\/p>\n<p>3. VidIQ happens to have a confusing user interface and below-average performance for creators sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>4. The tool is widely made for seasoned YouTubers and not beginners.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know what VidIQ is and how it works to grow your channel, you can simply sign up for a free version of the Google Chrome extension and get all these benefits free of charge. The paid version is divided into:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>VidIQ Pro: The pro version provides the past data and the keywords that were in trend and provide new video creation ideas.

This is because TubeBuddy&#8217;s pricing is comparatively more cost-efficient than VidIQ&#8217;s. It costs $3.20, less than VidIQ&#8217;s minimum of $7.50 monthly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q4_Is_VidIQ_only_for_YouTube\"><\/span>Q4.
