Use Adzoola’s ‘Force of 5’ to get keywords for YouTube
#1 The top 10 most popular YouTube keyword suggestions
Using the default search settings you’ll get the most popular keywords people are searching on YouTube that contain your seed keyword.
✅ Default settings returns the top most popular keyword suggestions (up to 10 per keyword).
✅ Why just 10 keyword suggestions? You can get more with the other methods below but we do this by default so you can clearly see the most popular keywords searched by YouTube users. Note: There is no source for YouTube search volume and, unlike other software, we don’t believe in showing fake numbers
✅ See what people actually search for on YouTube
✅ Always up to date YouTube autocomplete suggestions
✅ Get Google autocomplete suggestions too (click the icon in search area to change your selection)
Tip: Use short keywords because your YouTube keyword suggestions will contain your initial keyword in full and in the exact word order you used.
#2 Deep mode: Get more keyword variations on the most popular YouTube searches
Enable ‘Deep’ mode before your search to get long-tail YouTube keyword variations based on the initial most popular searches around your seed keyword.
✅ Enable ‘Deep’ mode to get more longer tail suggestions.
✅ Get up to 100 focused, relevant YouTube keyword variations for each seed keyword (upgrade to enter multiple seed keywords at once).
✅ Click on the magnifying glass icon on any of the suggested keywords to get more variations on that specific term. You can even switch the mode before doing this so you get results based on the mode you’ve set.
#3 Alphabetical mode: Get the broadest, largest set of YouTube searched keywords
Enable ‘Alphabetical’ mode before your search to get the largest and broadest list of YouTube keyword suggestions.
This isn’t enabled by default because it’s the largest set of keywords which means it will include keywords that may be less relevant or even not relevant at all.
Use this to get the most suggestions for YouTube keywords when you’re not concerned with the most popular, just the biggest number of keywords.
✅ Enable ‘Alphabetical’ mode to get YouTube autocomplete keyword suggestions for [your keyword] + [a, b, c etc..], cycling through all the letters of the alphabet to cast the net wider than the other two keyword search modes.
✅ Get 1000+ YouTube keyword variations for each seed keyword (upgrade to enter multiple seed keywords at once).
✅ See and understand the full keyword landscape on YouTube around your search term.
✅ Great for finding negative keywords you can use in keyword targeted YouTube campaigns.
#4 Use Google to suggest keywords for YouTube? Yes!
Try coming at YouTube keyword research from a different angle… Google searches.
There’s plenty of video views to be grabbed from Google.
With the Suggested Keywords tool (the first in the horizontal list above the search area) you can get either YouTube or Google autocomplete keyword suggestions.
Plus, all the other tools you see alongside ‘Suggested Keywords’ will give you Google keywords.
✅Use the Suggested Keywords tool (the one you’ve been using to get YouTube keywords) but instead of YouTube, click the YouTube icon and select Google instead.
✅Related Searches = The keyword suggestions you get at the bottom of a Google search result page.
✅ Similar Keywords = Long tail variations containing your search query in any word order.
✅ Keyword Ideas = Like Google’s Keyword Planner. It treats all seed keywords as a group and gives quite (or very) broad keyword suggestions.
✅ Keywords for Domains = Get keywords a domain or page ranks for.
✅ Domains Intersection = Find common keywords 2 or more websites rank for.
✅ Upgrade to add search criteria to all keyword tools (except ‘Suggested Keywords’). Add pre-search criteria like ‘I only want to see keywords for which Google shows videos in the search results’. That way you can find keywords that could get you views on your YouTube videos from Google searches.
#5 The “secret” way to get YouTube keywords (keywords from titles)
“Traditional” YouTube keyword tools are great and they have their place still (for now!). But Adzoola has another way to help you get popular keywords that’s not based on a keyword tool…
We can analyze YouTube’s search results to see what popular videos use in their video titles.
You can do this in two ways using Adzoola’s Video Search tool:
1. Search your chosen keyword in Video Search, filter the results as necessary, click Get results > Get video titles > Click to remove all special characters > Edit titles into keywords. Here’s a video I made for one of Adzoola’s members that shows you how to quickly turn video titles into keywords:
2.Search your chosen keywords in Video Search (best with multiple seed keywords) > Click ‘Word Counter’ > Select min phrase length (try 2 or 3) > Select Max phrase length (try 4 to 6) > Select Min Word Frequency (try 3)> Click ‘Count’. Now you’ll see common phrases among the video titles in the results. You can select to show associated data with each word or phrase (select ‘Statistic’ for Views, Likes, Comments or Occurrence).
Note: You’ll get the best insights when you use more than one keyword in the search. Upgrade to enable that feature.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get YouTube search volume?
You may have seen other keywords tools for YouTube that show what they call ‘search volume’. Unfortunately this is not YouTube search volume at all. Usually they give Google search volume and just label it as ‘YouTube search volume’.
Google (who owns YouTube) does provide search volume for Google searches but doesn’t provide any kind of search volume data for YouTube.
The best way to see the popularity of a keyword is to use Adzoola’s video targeting tool called Video Search. You can search a keyword and get the results from YouTube along with a sum of the number of views on the videos in the results. Use that number as a proxy for popularity.
