YouTube Intelligence: channels and videos cited by AI

YouTube Intelligence shows which YouTube channels and videos AI models cite when answering your tracked prompts. It also separates citations to your connected channels from citations to the rest of YouTube.

With YouTube Intelligence, you can:

• Find the YouTube channels and videos AI models cite most
• Measure the citation share of your connected channels
• Compare your content with other YouTube sources
• See which models, countries, formats and video ages drive citations

Find it under Prompt Insights > YouTube Intelligence in the sidebar, immediately above Reddit Intelligence. It is available on Growth plans and above.

What it shows

The report has three views:

• Overview: total YouTube citations, citations to your connected channels and videos, your citation share, cited videos from your channels, a citations-over-time chart, and breakdowns by AI model and country
• Channels: the most-cited channels, citations to your own channel profiles, and a timeseries for each channel
• Videos: the most-cited videos, with title, channel, citations and views, plus breakdowns by video format (regular videos, Shorts and live broadcasts) and video age

Your channels and videos carry a "You" badge. Use the All / You controls to focus a table on your own content. The main tables support CSV and Excel exports, and exports include the full filtered result, not only the current page.

Every connected channel remains visible even when it has zero citations in the selected period. Channel details such as the name and avatar fill in after the first fetch. Video details fill in when the cited video is processed.

Connect your channels

If the project has no YouTube channel yet, paste its channel URL directly into YouTube Intelligence. Supported formats include:

• https://www.youtube.com/@handle
• https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC...
• https://www.youtube.com/c/name
• https://www.youtube.com/user/name

To connect more channels, open Preferences > Project Settings > Owned Media. A project can have one main YouTube channel and up to 10 additional channels. Citations to any connected channel count as yours.

How to use it

1. Open Prompt Insights > YouTube Intelligence.
2. Choose the date range and any model, tag, brand type, country or language filters.
3. Start with Overview to measure your citation share.
4. Open Channels to see which publishers shape AI answers.
5. Open Videos to find the videos and formats earning citations.
6. Export a table when you need the full filtered dataset.

Tips & notes

• YouTube Intelligence contains only YouTube URLs cited in answers to your tracked prompts. It does not search all of YouTube for brand mentions.
• Connecting a channel defines which content counts as yours. It does not limit the report to that channel.
• The YouTube row in the Owned Media Overview opens this report.
