TubeBuddy
Track keyword rankings directly inside YouTube with Search Rank Tracking

TubeBuddy is a YouTube-certified browser extension with a built-in Search Rank Tracking feature that monitors where your videos rank for specific keywords in YouTube search results. Because TubeBuddy integrates directly into your YouTube Studio, rank tracking data appears alongside your other optimization tools — SEO checklists, A/B testing, and tag management. TubeBuddy's rank tracking is part of its SEO Studio, available on Legend ($49/mo) and higher plans.
