Common questions: YouTube Keyword & Competitor Explorer

Does the explorer show monthly search volume?

No. Creator Kit intentionally does not invent a volume number that the official YouTube API does not provide.

What does competitor exploration mean here?

It means reviewing the current public videos returned for the topic—titles, channels and publishing context—not a fabricated competition score.

Why might results be cached?

Caching repeated normalized searches protects the site’s free official API allowance.
