The problem it solves

Finding the right YouTube creators to partner with or pitch means searching endlessly and copying channel details by hand. There's no easy way to keep the list current as new creators show up in your niche.

Who it fits

Influencer marketing teams, agencies, and researchers who need an ongoing list of relevant YouTube channels in a specific niche.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system searches YouTube for videos matching your target keywords
  2. It pulls the channel behind each matching video
  3. It checks each channel's subscriber count, views, and video count
  4. Channels meeting your minimum thresholds are saved or updated in Google Sheets
What you get

Creator channels added to your outreach list

You build a running list of relevant YouTube creators that grows automatically as new ones match your criteria.

What you get

A growing, filtered spreadsheet of YouTube channels that match your target niche.

What you need

A YouTube Data API credential 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.
