As a result, their content doesn't work because of the zero engagement of subscribers. But what can you do to deal with this situation? Well, that's the point where you need to understand YouTube Analytics as they show what your audience love.

Why Is YouTube Analytics Important?

YouTube Analytics is important for all creators because that's the only way to find out what type of video your audience likes most. It also shows your current subscriber, the watch time, top videos of your channel, views, comments, and everything.  

YouTube offers an app named YouTube Studio where you can check the data. If you're a desktop user, you can access the YouTube Studio platform by clicking on the channel icon. You'll see the option of YouTube Studio; click on this to access your channel's analytics.

10 Important YouTube Analytics To Create Content Strategy 

Below we'll share the important analytics of YouTube that will help you create engaging videos. So you can create good content that the audience wants. Let's head towards the topic!

Watch Time of Videos 

The first and most important analytics of YouTube Studio is videos' watch time. Everyone knows that YouTube only monetizes the channels that have completed 4000 hours of watch time. And to  check the watch time we do this: 

  • Go to YouTube Studio → Analytics → Watch time (Select lifetime instead of months to access all data).

The benefit of checking the watch time is you'll see the watch time of your channels along with complete data, like how many people watch your videos and what type of videos your audience watches most. This data will help you analyze the interest of your audience and when you create the strategy according to audience interest, your channel will grow more than ever. 

Video View Duration 

The next important analytics is the view duration of your content. Have you ever thought about whether the audience will love the video or not? If not, you should think about it because that's how you can improve your content. But the issue is how you'll know about it. 

Analyze-Data

Good for you that YouTube also has a video view duration feature in the YouTube Studio. Thanks to this feature, you can easily check the view duration of your audience. 

For example, YouTube will show you the average view duration of a video. If the view duration isn't good, like about 40 seconds or 1 minute, your audience isn't interested in that type of video.

The Percentage of Video Viewers And Their Countries 

The next analytics that helps understand the audience is the percentage of video viewers. On the YouTube Analytics page, you can easily check which video has been watched by the audience most. 

Once you find the most watched videos check the content and find out the similarities among all to know what attracts your audience. Apart from viewers' percentage, YouTube analytics also show the data of audiences, like which country or city they belong to.

Video-Viewers

Knowing the geographical location of the audience is extremely crucial as you can create videos that attract more audiences to that specific city or country. 

Re-Watches And Sharing Data 

The YouTube payment policy depends on the views of your videos. The more views you have on the videos, the more you'll earn. That's why it's important to create powerful content that people watch multiple times. 

Our recommendation for you is to check the YouTube audience retention report. If you see any rising curve on the graph, it means that's the video that your audience is re-watching. In addition, don't forget to check the sharing service page. 

  • Select Analytics → Click On More → Select Sharing Service.

Sharing-Data

Impression Rate of Your Videos 

The impression rate of your video is another amazing way to determine which video is performing well and which isn't. 

Remember, here; we aren't discussing your subscriber. It's about the audience who searches a particular keyword on YouTube and your video appears or the audience whom YouTube suggests your videos.

Impression-Rate

Whenever your video appears in someone's feed, it's an impression, and when the audience clicks on it, they'll become the video viewers. That's why impression rate is important; it shows how powerful the thumbnail and title of your video are. 

If the impression rate is good but no one clicks on the video, it's time to change the strategy of creating a thumbnail and title.

Video Audience Engagement 

The next feature of YouTube analytics is checking audience engagement on a particular video. How it'll help this question must be ringing the bell to the mind, right? 

Video-Audience
