How does your brand show up on YouTube?
Track brand mentions across YouTube videos. Google and OpenAI have trained models on YouTube transcripts, and brands with more YouTube mentions tend to show up more in AI answers.
Coverage AI models can draw on.
YouTube coverage is part of what AI models can draw on. This tool surfaces every video mentioning your brand, the channels behind them, total reach, sentiment, and recency. Use it to spot coverage gaps, monitor sentiment shifts, and find creators worth partnering with for sponsored reviews.
Why YouTube coverage matters for AI visibility
Google and OpenAI have trained models on YouTube transcripts. In an Ahrefs study of 75,000 brands (December 2025), YouTube mentions correlated with AI visibility more strongly than any other factor measured. That is a correlation, not proof of cause, but it makes YouTube coverage worth tracking.
- Live YouTube dataWe query the YouTube Data API live on every audit. Results reflect current video availability, view counts, and publication dates, not a stale prompt library.
- Five-dimension scoreVolume (25), Channel Diversity (20), Sentiment (20), Reach (20), and Recency (15) sum to a 100-point AI visibility grade for your YouTube footprint.
- Layer 2 sentiment, not just titlesFor your top 5 videos by views, we pull the full transcript and analyze the actual spoken content. Each video shows whether sentiment came from the transcript or the metadata. Channels with concentrated negative coverage are flagged in the recommendations.
- Action plan, not just a numberThe AI summary turns the score into specific next moves, such as which channels to pitch and which negative videos to address.
