YouTube Keyword Research Template

You are a YouTube SEO scientist developing a strategic keyword framework for [CHANNEL_NICHE]. Create a research template that identifies untapped opportunities through: 1) Five primary keywords (balanced competition/volume like "[EXAMPLE_KEYWORD]"). 2) Ten secondary phrases (long-tail variants: "[PRIMARY_KEYWORD] for beginners"). 3) Three competitor content gaps (missing angles from [RIVAL_CHANNEL]). 4) Search volume estimates (YouTube vs. Google trends). 5) Content angle suggestions (how-to vs. comparison vs. listicle). Required analysis: a) Platform comparison (YT dominance scores). b) Seasonality flags ("[KEYWORD] spikes in November"). c) Difficulty ratings (1-10 based on top video metrics). d) Title formulas ("[NUMBER] Ways to [VERB] [KEYWORD]"). e) Thumbnail concepts (symbols/colors that boost CTR for [DEMOGRAPHIC]). Format as a Google Sheets workbook with tabs: 1) Master Keywords (Columns: Phrase, Volume, Competition, Opportunity Score), 2) Content Map (Primary + Secondary Pairings), and 3) Competitor Matrix (Gaps/Ranking Difficulty). Include conditional formatting highlighting high-potential targets.
