What Each Metric Means
Opportunity Score (0–100)
A composite score from demand (30%), competition (45%), and trend direction (25%). Low competition + rising trend can push the score above 80. It answers: is this worth my time given my channel size?
Keyword Difficulty
Easy to Very Hard — based on competition level, trend velocity, and average search interest. Easy means small channels can realistically rank. Very Hard means large channels dominate the first page.
Search Interest (0–100)
Google Trends normalises all data to 0–100, where 100 = peak popularity. A score of 50 means the keyword is at roughly half its peak. Below 20 suggests a niche topic with limited but stable demand.
Competition Level
Derived from average interest. Above 70 = High Competition. 35–70 = Medium. Below 35 = Low. Low competition keywords offer the fastest path to first-page placement for channels under 50K subscribers.
Trend Direction
Compares the last 3 data points in the 7-day interest curve. Rising = accelerating — act quickly. Stable = reliable long-term. Falling = declining — consider a fresh angle.
Rising Queries
Topics experiencing the fastest percentage growth in search interest. They signal emerging trends before they peak. Creating content on a rising query early gives you a timing advantage.
How to Choose the Right YouTube Keyword
For small and growing channels (under 10K subscribers)
Target keywords with Low competition and any trend direction — even Stable or Falling with low competition gives you ranking room.
Prioritise autocomplete phrases of 4+ words. Long-query viewers have high specific intent — they are looking for exactly what you make.
Avoid keywords where the top results are from channels with millions of subscribers. Check the first page before committing.
Use Rising queries as early signals. Create a video within 48 hours — early indexed videos accumulate views as the trend peaks.
For established channels (over 10K subscribers)
You can compete in Medium and High competition keywords where your channel authority helps you rank. Focus on interest above 50.
Look for high-interest keywords with Rising direction — your channel size lets you move fast and your audience gives early engagement signals.
Use Top Related queries to build keyword clusters. A series of related videos builds topical authority, improving rankings across the cluster.
Interest of 70+ with Medium competition is the optimal zone — high enough demand to drive views, low enough competition to still rank page one.
The most common mistake: targeting high-interest keywords before your channel has the authority to rank. Start narrow and specific, build a track record, then graduate to broader high-competition terms.
