What you'll see in the report

Everything you need to decide whether a placement is worth paying for.

Subscribers and growth

Month-by-month dynamics — organic growth and bought spikes look different.

Average views per video

The real reach of one video, instead of a subscriber count.

ER by subscribers and by views

Two engagement reads; by views is the fair one for YouTube.

Likes and comments

Averages per video and how they move over time.

Audience geography

Where the viewers actually are, so you don't pay for reach off your market.

Suspicious growth check

Follower jumps that views and engagement don't back up.

Three steps to a decision

1

Find the account

Paste a YouTube link or pick the account from the Yoloco database.

2

Open the report

Yoloco pulls the stats and the audience — you don't need access to the owner's dashboard.

3

Decide

Weigh it against the rate, export the report and attach it to your media plan.

1

Engagement, not subscriber vanity

A big subscriber count means little if views and engagement are low. Check the real rate before you pay for an expensive integration.

2

See who's really watching

In the full analytics, Yoloco shows a channel's audience demographics and authenticity so you invest where your buyers actually are.

3

Growth and consistency

Spot channels on the way up — and avoid ones coasting on old subscribers — with growth and view trends over time.

Who it's for

Brands — don't overpay

A YouTube placement is paid up front. The report shows what reach you're actually buying.

Agencies — justify the pick

Export the report and attach it to the media plan, so the choice is backed by numbers, not taste.

Creators — show your numbers

An independent report on your own account that you can send an advertiser instead of screenshots.

FAQ

Is there a free YouTube channel analytics tool?

You can calculate a channel's engagement rate for free here, from numbers you enter — no login. Full audience analytics and growth trends run inside Yoloco on a free account.

How do I check a YouTube channel's engagement rate?

Enter subscribers (or average views) with average likes and comments in the calculator above — it returns the rate and how it compares to benchmarks.

Should I judge a channel by subscribers?

No — views and engagement matter far more. Many big channels have low view-to-subscriber ratios; the rate and real audience tell the truth.

Can I see a channel's audience demographics?

Yes — audience geo, age and interests are available in Yoloco's analytics after you create a free account.
