How this works

Enter a topic or keyword. The tool asks the search suggestions behind YouTube's search box for your phrase and six common variations ("how to…", "best…", "… for", "… vs", "… tutorial", "what is…"), merges the answers and removes duplicates.

The variations are English phrases, so results are best for topics in English. YouTube does not document these suggestions, so the feature can change or stop working. A suggestion shows that people type that phrase. It does not show how often, and the tool shows no search volume because none is available.

YouTube Help says tags play a minimal role in discovery, and that your title, thumbnail and description matter more, so eight tags start selected and no more. YouTube Help also says adding excessive tags to a video description is against its spam policies.

The counter follows the YouTube Data API rule: 500 characters for the whole list, commas included, and two extra characters for any tag that contains a space. Studio's own counter may differ slightly. Results are cached for 24 hours.
