YouTube rank tracker
Track your video rankings inside YouTube search
YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world — and the rules are completely different from Google. Rankability's YouTube rank tracker monitors exactly where your videos rank for every keyword you target, tracks your channel's visibility across your entire keyword set, and surfaces the competitor videos that keep showing up above you. Daily refresh, historical trends, and one dashboard for video search alongside Google and AI search.

YouTube search rankings
Know exactly where your videos rank in YouTube search for every keyword you care about. Reporter records the position of every tracked video on every scan, with full historical data — so you can see the impact of every title change, thumbnail swap, and description update.
Video keyword tracking
Track every keyword that matters to your channel — branded queries, how-tos, product reviews, comparison searches, the whole long tail. Reporter handles bulk imports and gives you per-keyword position history for every video, so you know which keywords are working and which aren't.
Channel visibility
Individual video rankings only tell part of the story. Reporter measures channel-wide visibility — what percentage of your tracked keywords return any video from your channel in the top results, and how that share is trending over time. The clearest single signal of whether your YouTube SEO strategy is actually working.
Competitor video tracking
Every scan captures the competitor videos that rank alongside yours. See which channels keep beating you, which specific videos are eating your traffic, and which keywords your competitors own that you haven't even targeted yet — so you know exactly which content to make next.

Frequently asked questions
How does a YouTube rank tracker work?
A YouTube rank tracker runs your target keywords as YouTube searches and records exactly where your videos appear in the results. Reporter does this on a schedule you set — daily, weekly, or custom — and stores every result so you can see how your rankings change over time.
Can I track multiple videos and channels?
Yes. Add as many of your own videos as you want, and add competitor channels too. Reporter tracks position data for every video on every keyword and rolls it up into channel-level visibility reporting.
How often does Reporter check YouTube rankings?
Daily by default, with weekly and custom cadences available. Most teams run daily scans for high-priority keywords and weekly for the rest of the keyword set.
Can I see which competitor videos rank above mine?
Yes. Every scan captures the competing videos in the YouTube SERP for each keyword. You'll see which channels keep beating you, which specific videos are ranking, and how that landscape changes over time.
Does Rankability also track Google and AI search?
Yes. The same project that tracks YouTube can track your Google rankings, Local Pack visibility, and your presence in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews — all from one dashboard.
Can I export YouTube ranking reports for clients?
Yes. Reporter generates client-ready exports covering video rankings, channel visibility trends, and competitor share — in a format that holds up in front of marketing leaders and content owners.
