What is a YouTube report?

A YouTube report is a tool that consolidates data from multiple sources (e.g., YouTube Analytics, Google Ads, Social Blade) to track and display key performance indicators (KPIs) (e.g., views, watch time, subscriber growth), enabling creators and agencies to monitor channel performance and create presentations for clients and executives. 

YouTube reports are typically built using flexible tools like Google Looker Studio, Power BI, Google Sheets, or platform-specific solutions to enable high customization and integration of multiple data sources.

What to include in a YouTube report?

An actionable YouTube report balances context and specificity based on the audience (executives, managers, and analysts) and their use cases.

Executive YouTube reports

Executive reports for CMOs, CEOs, and clients show YouTube's bottom-line impact. Reviewed weekly, monthly, or quarterly, they include:

  • Channel performance analysis: by video, using metrics like watch time, engagement, and subscriber growth.
  • Revenue analysis: AdSense earnings, sponsorships, and merchandise sales.
  • Cohort analysis: retention, engagement, and growth by viewer cohort (subscription period, content type)
  • Add text for additional context to translate metrics for non-technical audiences. Present in slide decks and simplified Looker Studio reports.

YouTube manager reports

Manager reports have cross-video views with drill-downs to see performance by video, playlist, region, team member, and campaign. They help align teams, define tactics, and include:

  • Cross-video reporting: overall channel, video, or region reporting across content types
  • Goal tracking: compare current performance vs objectives
  • Audits for prioritization and spotting issues 
  • Competitive analysis for channel and content mapping
  • Topic, keyword, content, audience research

Operational YouTube reports

  • Video performance: views, watch time, engagement, CTR
  • Subscriber metrics: growth, churn, demographics
  • Content analysis: top-performing videos, audience retention, traffic sources
  • SEO: keyword rankings, impressions, clicks, video tags

Operational YouTube reports are highly customized, built in flexible tools like Google Sheets or Looker Studio to enable data cleaning, blending, annotations, and integrating multiple sources.
