What are YouTube channel keywords?
Channel keywords are set in YouTube Studio under Settings → Channel → Basic info. Unlike video tags, they describe your entire channel and help YouTube understand your niche and recommend your channel to the right viewers.
They're hidden from visitors, so a channel keywords extractor is the only way to see how another creator has positioned their channel.
How to check a channel's keywords
Paste the channel's URL (for example youtube.com/@channelname) into the box above and click extract. TagYeti reads the channel's public metadata and returns its keywords, ready to copy.
Use what you learn to refine your own channel keywords — then generate optimized tags for each individual video with the Tag Generator.
Why channel keywords matter
- They tell YouTube your channel's overall topic and niche.
- They support suggested-channel and browse recommendations.
- They're a quick, high-signal way to audit competitors' positioning.
