The problem it solves

You want to research YouTube channels for partnerships, influencer outreach, or competitive analysis, but pulling subscriber counts, recent video performance, and contact details by hand for each channel takes forever. Keeping that research organized and up to date is tedious.

Who it fits

A marketing, sales, or partnerships team researching YouTube channels for outreach.

How it works

  1. A new channel is added to your tracking spreadsheet.
  2. The system pulls subscriber count and total views for that channel.
  3. It reviews the channel's most recent videos and tallies up their views.
  4. It searches for a public contact email for the channel.
  5. All the results are written back into your spreadsheet automatically.
What you get

Channel stats and contacts gathered without searching

Every channel you add gets its subscriber count, recent video views, and a public contact email pulled straight into your spreadsheet.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet row with channel stats, recent performance, and contact info for each channel.

What you need

A YouTube Data API key, a SerpAPI account, and a Google Sheets account.

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.
