VidIQ is a Google Chrome extension that provides youtube analytics and actionable insights.

History
VidIQ was founded in 2012 by Robert Sandie, James Cross and Todd Troxell. The two previously worked at video distribution platform Viddler. They noticed that YouTube lacks a professional analytics tool that can help the content creators in growing their audience. Soon they launched VidIQ which provided a dashboard of analytics and also helped content creators in optimizing their videos to grow their channel.

Initially, VidIQ was available as an enterprise tool for companies like AOL, Mondo Media, and Revision3 but later in 2013 it was opened for public.

Features
Users can see how many people watch video/videos, number of impressions, display, duration, social media interaction rate, SEO score, number of words in video descriptions, and number of pages connected to the video from other web sites. Users can also see a graph of statistical data on videos on their channel.
