A focused YouTube ranking check

This checker answers one question: does this video appear for this keyword as of the checked time? It validates the video, checks the relevance-ordered video results returned for the selected country, and reports the actual position when it finds a match. There is no project setup, browser extension, or saved campaign.

More useful than a bare position

A ranking number means more when you can see the result set around it. The result includes the submitted video's title and channel, the number of videos inspected, when the check ran, and up to 10 videos returned near the top of the same result set.

Checker, not tracker

This page performs a one-time check. It does not save keywords, chart ranking history, send alerts, or run scheduled checks. Use vidIQ Keyword Tools when you want to research search demand and find better keyword opportunities before checking a specific video's position.

No. It performs a one-time ranking check and does not save projects, history, alerts, or scheduled checks.
Yes. Paste a public Shorts URL or its 11-character video ID and check it against a keyword the same way you would a standard video.
