YTubViral: YouTube SEO, Analytics & AI Tools

Stop switching tabs. YTubViral is a free YouTube SEO and analytics toolkit that lives right inside YouTube — an instant SEO score on every video, keyword research on every search, competitor analytics on every channel, outlier detection, and AI title generation, all inside YouTube and YouTube Studio. Powered by Claude (Anthropic's AI) — not generic GPT. Whether you're growing your first channel or you're an experienced creator looking for an edge, YTubViral puts the YouTube optimization data you need exactly where you need it — without ever leaving YouTube. ────────── ONE PANEL — ON EVERY YOUTUBE PAGE ────────── YTubViral adds a single panel, docked to the right edge of every YouTube and YouTube Studio page. Click the tab to open it. It has four tabs: • This page — shows whatever is relevant to where you are: the full SEO scorecard on a video or Short, keyword competition and opportunity data on a search, a one-click breakdown on a channel page. • Your channel — your subscriber and view counts, 7- and 30-day growth, monetization progress with an ETA, and a personalized best-time-to-post recommendation. Available from any page, not just Studio. • Ideas — 5 personalized video ideas for the day, if you've connected your channel. • Coach (Pro) — a Claude chat that knows what you're looking at. Ask it about the video, the channel, or your strategy. One consistent place — no hunting for panels that appear and disappear. ────────── SEO SCORE — ON EVERY VIDEO ────────── On any watch page or Short, the "This page" tab shows a full scorecard: • SEO Score ring (0–100) — instant quality check for title, description, tags, and thumbnail • Detailed checklist + Quick Wins — exactly what's missing and how many points each fix is worth, organized in tabs (Overview / Tags & timing / Comments) instead of one long scroll • Views per hour (VPH) — how fast the video is gaining traction right now (recent velocity, not just a lifetime average) • Engagement rate and likes ratio • Outlier detection — a pulsing badge appears when a video has 5x+ its channel's average views. Spot viral content instantly. Works without an account. The SEO Score, VPH and outlier detection load on any video or Short even before you sign in (anonymous requests are limited by volume). A free account adds keyword research, comment sentiment, your channel stats and 10 AI generations a month. ────────── VELOCITY BADGES & HOVER STATS ────────── On the YouTube homepage, search results, and the suggested-videos sidebar, every thumbnail gets a small VPH (views per hour) badge — no account needed. Hover any thumbnail and a card expands with views, likes, comments, engagement rate, the channel's subscriber count, and age — reusing the same data, no extra loading. The extension fetches public view counts and publish dates from the YouTube Data API to calculate velocity. Badges load as you scroll — no performance impact. ────────── YOUTUBE STUDIO INTEGRATION ────────── YTubViral works inside YouTube Studio too — no need to switch to another site to check your SEO: • Video list — SEO Score badges appear next to each video title. See at a glance which videos are well-optimized and which need work. • Video editor — a live SEO panel next to the title field with a score ring and checklist, plus a live SERP preview showing exactly how your title and thumbnail will look in a search result as you type. • Upload dialog — the same live panel appears while you're uploading a NEW video, so you optimize before you hit publish — when it matters most. • A/B test titles without leaving Studio (Pro) — a dedicated "Create A/B test" button in the editor starts a real title test on your published video: YTubViral rotates your current title against a variant you write and tells you which one wins with real view data. Not even the big analytics extensions offer this. • AI thumbnail generator — one click opens YTubViral's thumbnail tool with your video's title already filled in. • Best time to post — a personalized hint (based on your channel's own audience activity) appears in both the editor and the upload dialog. • AI tag suggestions — click "Suggest tags" and the extension searches for keywords related to your video title, then displays clickable tag pills you can copy into your tag field. ────────── KEYWORD RESEARCH — FOR EVERY SEARCH ────────── Search anything on YouTube and open the panel — the "This page" tab shows real data for that keyword: • Competition level — Low / Medium / High. Instantly know if a keyword is dominated by big channels or if there's room for a newcomer to rank. • Opportunity Score (0–100) — a combined metric that weighs competition against demand. Above 70 means the keyword is worth targeting. • Total results — how many videos compete for this term. • Average views of the top videos — tells you if there's real audience demand. • Trending right now — videos gaining views fastest for this term in the last 30 days, ranked by views/hour, not just all-time views. • Related search terms — click any suggestion to search it and see its own stats. ────────── COMPETITOR CHANNEL ANALYSIS (Pro) ────────── On any YouTube video page or channel page, one click pulls up a full audit: • Subscribers, total views, upload frequency, and estimated monetization • Top videos by views, outliers flagged — thumbnail, title, and age, with a ×N badge on any video that beats the sample average (an outlier browser for the channel) • Title patterns — average length, % with a number, % with a question/hook, % using brackets, computed from their own top videos • Recurring keywords from their last 30 videos — click any to search it on YouTube • "Why does this work?" — one click and Claude explains the pattern behind their top content, instead of just listing the data ────────── COMMENT SENTIMENT ANALYSIS ────────── On any video page, the extension can analyze the top comments and show: • Sentiment breakdown — positive, negative, and neutral percentage…
