The problem it solves

Figuring out what's actually resonating on YouTube means scrolling through trending videos and guessing which topics are worth chasing. A video with huge view counts but little engagement isn't really a trend worth following, but that's hard to spot by eye.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketers, and social media teams looking for trending topics and keywords.

How it works

  1. You run the check for trending videos in your target region
  2. Each video's engagement rate is calculated from views, likes, and comments
  3. The top-performing videos are ranked and shortlisted
  4. Their tags are collected and combined into a single keyword list
What you get

Trending topics spotted before your competitors

You get a ranked list of today's top-performing YouTube videos and the keywords driving their engagement.

What you get

A ready-to-use list of trending keywords pulled from the highest-engagement videos.

What you need

A YouTube Data API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
