YouTube channel mini-audit
Three specific notes from a channel's public uploads, then the option to save the full audit. No account for this pass.
What you get before you pay
The mini-audit is the teaser of the paid channel audit. It reads the same public metadata as the full metadata scan and stops at three recommendations you can act on today. Growth is $19 a month and adds the saved video-by-video report, calendar, and benchmarks. Pro is $9 and Unlimited is $39. Compare those on pricing. The channel description is a separate field from those video notes. The bio generator drafts it from words you type.
The longer checklist is in the channel audit guide and the small-channel SEO guide.
Questions
Does the mini-audit need an account?
No. Paste a public channel and you get three recommendations from the latest public uploads. Saving a written audit and a weekly plan is the part that asks you to sign up.
Where do the three recommendations come from?
Public YouTube fields the app already reads: title length, description length, tags, hashtags, chapters, links, publish dates, and view counts. Each note names a video or a count from that channel.
What can it not see?
Impressions, click-through rate, and audience retention. Those stay in YouTube Studio. The mini-audit does not invent them, and it does not post anything to YouTube.
