What you get

What the YouTube channel search shows

  • Channels, not just videos

    Channel results and video results are merged, so a channel that made five videos on your topic ranks above one that matches by name only.

  • Subscribers and views

    Subscriber counts, the number of matching videos and their total views, side by side.

  • Channel analysis

    Average views of recent uploads, views per subscriber, upload frequency, country, keywords and the links on the About tab.

  • Business email

    YouTube shows whether a channel lists a business email. OpenReach flags it so you know where to look.

YouTube channel finder FAQ

How is the engagement rate worked out?

On TikTok and Instagram it is the average likes plus comments of a creator’s recent posts, divided by their followers. On YouTube, where listings show views and not likes, it is the average views of recent videos divided by subscribers. Both are shown as a percentage.

Where do the contact details come from?

Only from what creators publish: emails and phone numbers written in their bio, their link in bio, and the links on their profile. YouTube shows whether a channel has a business email; the address itself sits behind a CAPTCHA on YouTube, so OpenReach tells you it exists and where to find it.

Do I need a project?

No. Every tool works on its own. When a result is worth keeping, save it to a project in one click: creators and leads get an outreach status, notes and tags, and monitors check for new mentions on a schedule.

Does OpenReach post, comment or send messages for me?

No. OpenReach finds people, businesses and conversations and keeps them organised. You reach out yourself, in your own words. That keeps your accounts safe and your outreach honest.
