How to find low-competition YouTube keywords with high search volume

This task can be performed using OutlierKit

Best YouTube Analytics Tool - Stop Guessing, Start Growing

Find viable YouTube keywords

Start with a specific topic and audience, then use keyword research to collect phrases with meaningful search demand. Compare each phrase’s volume, competition, relevance, and recent video results instead of chasing the highest volume term.

Shortlist keywords where smaller or newer channels rank, top results are outdated, or existing videos answer the query poorly. Choose one primary phrase per video, confirm it matches viewer intent, then shape the title, thumbnail, and outline around that promise.

More about ranking evidence

Metrics narrow the list, but search results reveal whether you can compete. Use competitor research to verify that comparable channels earn views on the exact topic.

  • Search the exact phrase and review the first 10 results.
  • Favor topics where smaller channels recently earned strong views.
  • Reject keywords dominated by authoritative channels with well matched videos.
