"what tool can i use to track keyword rankings and search impressions for my fitness videos over time"
If you mean YouTube fitness videos, I’d use a combination rather than one tool:
- studio.youtube.com — best for actual performance data. It shows impressions, CTR, YouTube Search traffic, and the specific search terms that brought viewers to each video. You can also use Advanced Mode to compare videos and export data over time. Google Help Google Help Google Help
- vidiq.com — best for keyword research + tracking. Useful if you want to track target phrases such as “30 minute full body workout,” “beginner HIIT,” or “home workout for women” and monitor how your videos perform against them.
- tubebuddy.com — another strong YouTube SEO option. Particularly useful for keyword research, optimization, and monitoring rankings.
- tuberanker.com — worth considering if exact keyword-position tracking is your priority. Dedicated rank trackers record where your video appears for a specified search query over time. TubeAnalytics
What I'd recommend for your fitness channel
YouTube Studio + vidIQ is probably the best setup.
Track a spreadsheet/dashboard with:
| Metric | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Target keyword | What you're trying to rank for |
| YouTube position | Whether your ranking is improving |
| Impressions | How much YouTube is exposing the video |
| CTR | Whether the title/thumbnail gets clicks |
| YouTube Search views | Actual search-driven traffic |
| Watch time | Whether search viewers like the video |
| Video | Which fitness video is ranking |
One important distinction: YouTube Studio doesn't give you a traditional “you're #7 for this keyword” rank position. It tells you which searches actually generated traffic and how your videos performed. Google Help vidIQ
If you tell me how many fitness videos you have and whether they're Shorts, long-form, or both, I can recommend the cheapest setup and a tracking dashboard specifically for your channel.
