The New Auto-Ranked: Lighter, Faster, Built Around Your Numbers

Why we redesigned
Auto-Ranked exists to answer one question: is your YouTube SEO actually working? The old dark interface did the job, but it buried the answer under decoration. The new design flips that. Light, calm, and the numbers are the interface.
Everything now reads like a ledger. Where each video ranks, how it moved this week, how many views arrive from YouTube search. If a pixel doesn't help you understand your channel faster, it's gone.
What changed
Every page moved to the new system, from the dashboard and video analysis to the free tools and this blog. Same features, same data, same account. Nothing you rely on was removed; it's just faster to read.
The dashboard now leads with YouTube Search Views: the views arriving from search, per video, per day. It's the single best measure of whether optimization is paying off, and it now gets top billing.
Also new: turn any video into an SEO article — free
Alongside the redesign we quietly shipped a new free tool. Paste a YouTube link and Auto-Ranked watches the video, both what's said and what's shown on screen, and writes a structured SEO article from it. Articles rank for searches your video never appears in, and they link right back to it.
It's free, no account needed. Try it at auto-ranked.com/youtube-video-to-article.
Tell us what to fix
A redesign is never finished on day one. If something looks off, reads badly on your phone, or just annoys you, use the feedback button in the footer or the feature requests page. Top-voted ideas get built first. That's not a slogan, it's the roadmap.
