Saya Aditya, orang di balik alat **YouTube Keyword Volume Checker** di LenosTube. Sehari hari saya banyak berkutat dengan data pencarian, judul video, dan topik yang orang cari di YouTube. Dari situ saya sadar, banyak kreator punya ide bagus, tapi sulit menilai apakah sebuah keyword memang punya potensi penonton atau tidak. Saya membuat alat ini untuk diri saya sendiri dulu, supaya bisa melihat seberapa sering sebuah kata kunci dicari dan membandingkan beberapa ide dengan cepat. Baru setelah itu saya buka untuk orang lain. Fokus saya sederhana: angka yang jelas, tampilan yang tidak ribet, dan insight yang bisa dipakai kreator saat memilih judul dan topik video mereka.
Example:
Keyword A: 2000 searches per month, clear intention “to learn”
Keyword B: 10,000 searches per month, but mixed intentions
I often choose A. Because it's more likely that viewers will be satisfied and stay until the end of the video.
Good retention often sends a strong signal to YouTube that your content is worth recommending.
I don't expect a video to explode instantly. I usually look for a few things:
Videos start getting consistent views from “YouTube search” in analytics
CTR (click through rate) improves because the title is appropriate
Comments show that viewers are indeed looking for that.
If 1–2 videos with a certain keyword pattern perform well, I repeat a similar theme with another angle.
For me, YouTube keywords are like a compass. They show you the direction, but they don't guarantee your ship will reach you. Content, thumbnails, duration, and style all play a role.
With simple research, a little data from tools, and curiosity, you can create more targeted titles and topics. Instead of guessing in the dark, you're walking with a small flashlight in your hand.
That's how I view YouTube keywords. It's not complicated, but I don't take it lightly either.
