These are the best free tools and websites you can use to improve your YouTube video SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) ranking and get more views.

You don’t have to pay for expensive services or software in order to create and run successful YouTube channel or website. I’ve been ranking and cashing in on my videos and web projects for a decade using mostly free tools. These are some of the best places to start!

1. YouTube Video Analytics

The most important free tool for all YouTubers. The Analytics tab in your YouTube Creator Studio account will show you all information and statistics on your videos and the audience.

As already mentioned when buying YouTube views it’s important to check on the views quality. Either you are using this method or checking on your or organic views and how your videos perform you’ll get all information on your viewers.

The viewers location, average watch time, device type, source of traffic (how your viewers found your video) and so much more.

2. YTRank – Free YouTube Rank Checker

Use YTRank to find out what is the current position of your video in YouTube search results for the targeted keywords. It’s a free service and you can you can use it for as many videos and keywords you want.

3. Ubersuggest – Free Keyword Research Tool

Keyword research should always be a first step before creating a content – website, blog post or a YouTube video. You want to make sure the subject and keywords related to it has enough monthly search queries to bring in traffic and views. Ubersuggest is a free service you can use to check on keywords but also the competition, what keywords they rank for and how much traffic they manage to get from it.

4. MozBar – Free SEO Toolbar

MozBar is a very popular and free SEO Google Chrome addon – toolbar. You are able to see Domain Authority (DA), Page Authority (PA) and a number of backlinks for any domain and YouTube video. YouTube domain authority is obviously the highest (100) but the page authority (your video page) depends on number of backlinks, views and other signals.

Due YouTube’s high DA it is easier to rank a YouTube video than for example a new website with 0 DA that Google don’t trust.

5. Stratage.ms – Free Link Checking

Stratage.ms has couple of small free tools I find very useful. When you publish a post, create or buy backlinks for your YouTube video or website you would like to check if they are indexed by Google. Pasting one by one in Google search engine can be very time consuming.

Stratage’s free bulk index checker will show you which links are indexed by Google and which are not.

If you have a big list you can use Remove Duplicate tool to check up to 5000 links and remove duplicates.

Bulk Google Suggest Keywords tool is great for scraping keywords related to your YouTube video or website topic / niche.

6. Venngage – Free Infographic Maker

People prefer watching YouTube videos instead of reading bunch of text on the same subject because it’s fun and more dynamic. You know what else is fun and gives an easy-to-understand overview of any topic? Infographics. They exploded since 10 years ago as one of the favorite forms of presenting ideas and communicating with the audience.

Even if you don’t have a website to go with your YouTube channel you can still create the infographic covering the key points of your video/topic. Publish it watermarked with your channel information online, submit to websites, directories, Pinterest, Tumblr, place link in your video’s description.
