The hard part of audience size for company accounts on YouTube

What follows is the honest set of ways to get audience size on company accounts on YouTube, including the ones that are not ours. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors named here, so YouTube Channel Stats Extractor is something you run yourself against your own list of company accounts on YouTube.

What is actually going wrong

Audience size for company accounts on YouTube one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. Start from this: company accounts on YouTube is a search engine that pays, so a subscriber count and a view count measure different things, and audience size follows. Worth knowing about company accounts on YouTube, since audience size inherits it: subscribers are historical and views are current, and dashboards usually record the wrong one. If you would rather try it than read about it, YouTube Channel Stats Extractor does audience size for company accounts on YouTube today.

Doing it end to end

  1. Start with one of company accounts on YouTube you already know, so a wrong audience size answer is obvious rather than plausible.
  2. Run YouTube Channel Stats Extractor across your list of company accounts on YouTube, which carries 13 ready made setups for audience size.
  3. Run Company Social Presence Mapper across your list of company accounts on YouTube, which carries 1 ready made setup for audience size.
  4. Read ten rows of audience size on company accounts on YouTube by hand before you trust the rest of the list.

Traditional Search Tools

  • The channel's recent uploads, for company accounts on YouTube. Free, and the gap between subscribers and recent views is the honest number.
  • The platform APIs. Official, accurate and gated. Most now require an app review to read a public follower count, which is weeks of work for one number.
  • Social listening suites. Brandwatch, Sprout and the rest do this among many other things. Priced for a brand team, not for a qualification step in a sales list.
  • SimilarWeb or a traffic estimator. A different proxy for the same question. Better for whether anyone visits, worse for whether anyone follows.
  • Open the profiles. Find the accounts, read the numbers, write them down. Two minutes per brand per network, and completely accurate on the day you do it.
