Start here: what Videxa does, what it never does, and a free audit

What Videxa is

Videxa is a web app at videxa.in for YouTube creators in India. It helps with ideas, planning and metadata. Metadata means the words around your video: its title, description, hashtags and tags.

When you connect a channel, Videxa reads its public data through the YouTube Data API (YouTube's official way for apps to read public channel data): subscribers, total views, number of videos, and your recent videos with their titles, views, likes, comments, tags and descriptions. It saves a snapshot every day.

It has five main areas:

What stays your job

Your video is the real work. Videxa helps with the words and the plan around it. Four things always stay with you:

Your numbers are not live

Videxa refreshes channels once a night, at about 4:00 AM IST, for people who used it in the last 7 days. If you have been away, opening Today fetches fresh numbers. You can also tap "Refresh" at the top of the Channel page, at most once every 30 minutes. For the latest numbers, open YouTube Studio.

Videxa on your phone

Videxa runs in your phone's browser, so there is nothing to install. The bottom tabs are Today, Ask, Write, Channel and More. Calendar and Settings are under More. The screens are in English only.

Run the free audit, no account needed

Two Videxa tools work without signing up: the Free YouTube channel audit and the Free YouTube metadata generator. The generator is sometimes switched off, so this lesson uses the audit.

Open videxa.in/audit. Paste your channel into the box marked "youtube.com/@yourchannel or @handle" and tap "Audit". The audit uses no AI. It reads public data from your latest uploads, up to 15 of them. You get:

Who can see your audit

Any public channel can be audited, so anyone can audit yours, whether or not you share it. The "WhatsApp" and "Copy link" buttons share a link to your result, and anyone with the link can open it.

Each result is saved for 24 hours. If you fix something and run the audit again the same day, you may still see the old result, so check again once 24 hours have passed. One internet connection can run up to 6 audits an hour.

Test each check against what YouTube says

The audit is Videxa's own checklist, built from public data. Its score is not YouTube's ranking of your channel, and it cannot see how long people watch.

Before you spend an evening on any check, test it against what YouTube says. If the two ever disagree, follow YouTube.

Tags

The "Tags" check looks at how many recent videos carry more than 15 tags. It counts least in your score, and it is only ever marked "Good" or "Could be better".

YouTube says your title, thumbnail and description are more important for discovery than tags. Tags help when your topic is often misspelled, and otherwise play a minimal role ^[1].

Treat this check as low priority, and never fix it by adding more tags. The full lesson on tags is "Your upload checklist".

Title length

The "Title length" check compares the average length of your recent titles with a range Videxa chose.

YouTube says a title can be up to 100 characters ^[2]. It advises accurate, short titles with the most important words near the beginning ^[3].

Videxa's range is a rule of thumb, not a YouTube rule. A clear, honest title matters more than a number. The full lesson is "Titles and thumbnails that tell the truth".

Upload consistency

The "Upload consistency" check counts your uploads in the last 30 days. Four or more is "Good", and none is "Fix this". It carries the most weight in your score.

YouTube says growth in views is not linked to the time between uploads, so you do not need to upload daily or weekly. It also found no link between the length of a break and changes in views, though your audience may need time to warm up again ^[4].

There is no algorithm penalty to fear, but viewers do build habits. Pick a rhythm you can keep around your studies, job and family, even if this check then says "Could be better". The full lesson is "A pace you can keep".

Views compared with subscribers

The "Views compared with subscribers" check compares a typical recent video's views with your subscriber count.

YouTube says viewers are subscribed to many channels and may not come back for every new upload ^[4]. The lesson "The honest truth about how YouTube growth works" explains more.

Views lower than your subscriber count are normal, so a low mark here does not mean something is wrong. Compare it only with your own past audits.

Descriptions and engagement

The "Descriptions" check counts recent videos with a description of at least 200 characters. The "Engagement" check compares likes and comments with views.

YouTube says the description, along with the title and thumbnail, matters more for discovery than tags ^[1]. A description can be up to 5,000 characters ^[2]. Likes and dislikes are only some of the signals YouTube learns from ^[4].

The 200-character line is Videxa's own, so write a description that helps a viewer rather than one that fills space. Treat likes and comments as a small clue.

How the two tracks fit

The "Getting good on YouTube" track teaches the craft and needs no account. This track shows where Videxa can save you time. Next, you will connect your channel safely and see exactly what Videxa can see.
