RankTube

Which keyword do you want to explore?

See what people really type on YouTube.

Short keywords give more ideas.

How to use the YouTube keyword tool

  1. Enter a short keyword: your category, a problem, a tool name. “crm for startups” gives more ideas than a long sentence.
  2. Read the groups: questions, comparisons, then other searches. Each item is a search people really type.
  3. Pick one search per video. The best ones are specific and close to a decision: comparisons, “best X for Y”, setup questions.

Why YouTube suggestions are a good keyword source

YouTube only suggests searches that people make. That makes suggestions a reliable list of real demand, in the exact words your audience uses, which is what you want in a title.

Comparisons deserve a close look for B2B companies. Someone typing “hubspot vs pipedrive” is choosing a tool. A clear, honest comparison video reaches them at the right moment, and AI assistants cite comparison videos often when asked which tool to pick.

From keyword to video

  • Check who wins the search today with the outlier finder: small channels with big views mean the subject is open.
  • See if AI already recommends a video for the question with the ChatGPT video checker.
  • Write the title with the title generator, keeping the searcher’s words.

Go from keywords to buyer questions

Keywords tell you what people type. RankTube starts from what your buyers ask AI before they buy, checks what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google cite, and ranks the videos you should make.

FAQ

Questions about this free tool

Where do the keywords come from?

From YouTube’s own search suggestions: what appears as people type in the YouTube search bar. We query them around your keyword (with “how to”, “vs”, “best” and more) and add the “People also ask” questions Google shows for it.

Why are questions shown first?

Questions are what people ask AI assistants too. A video that answers a real question has a reason to be found on YouTube, on Google and in AI answers.

Does the tool show search volume?

No. YouTube doesn’t publish search volumes. Suggestions are a good proxy: YouTube only suggests searches that people actually make.

What does “Google shows videos” mean?

For some searches Google shows a video block on the results page. For those keywords a YouTube video can get traffic from Google too, not only from YouTube.

Is it free?

Yes: 10 searches a day without an account, 30 when you are logged in.
