About

vidIQ is a YouTube growth toolkit that lives as a browser extension inside YouTube: keyword research with search volume and competition scores, an SEO scorecard per video, competitor tracking, daily topic ideas, and an AI Coach. Paid tiers add AI title and thumbnail generators on monthly credit pools.

Credits can run out mid-cycle with no top-ups, and user reviews are mixed on support and cancellation. For channels that depend on search traffic, the keyword data itself is genuinely useful.

What it can do

  • YouTube keyword research and SEO scores
  • Competitor channel tracking
  • Daily AI video ideas and AI Coach
  • AI title and thumbnail generators
  • Trend alerts and historical analytics
  • Browser extension overlay on YouTube

Setup

  1. Install the vidIQ browser extension and connect your YouTube channel.
  2. Run a channel audit to get baseline SEO scores.
  3. Use keyword research and Daily Ideas to plan topics.
  4. Check the scorecard and AI Coach recommendations after each upload.

Prerequisites

A YouTube channel and a Chromium or Firefox browser for the extension.
