YouTube Keyword Search Tool.

There's no good way to track what creators are making around a keyword over time.

YouTube search shows you what's popular right now, not what's been uploaded recently or how specific content is trending over weeks. For brands, music managers, analysts, and creators trying to understand a niche, there was no tool that combined keyword tracking, content filtering, and longitudinal performance data in one place.

A self-updating keyword database with growth metrics baked in.

YKST runs every Sunday via Make.com — querying YouTube for new uploads matching specified keywords, filtering out Shorts, non-English content, and irrelevant results, then adding the survivors to an Airtable database. At 7, 14, 30, and 60 days, it re-fetches view and subscriber counts for each video and calculates derived metrics: week-over-week growth, likes-per-view, and breakout indicators.

Automated ingestion

Weekly Make.com automation handles search, filtering, and database updates with no manual intervention required.

Longitudinal tracking

View, like, and subscriber snapshots at 7, 14, 30, and 60 days turn a single data point into a growth curve.

Derived metrics

Week-over-week growth, likes-per-view, and breakout flags calculated automatically — the insights, not just the raw numbers.
