  • Log into your YouTube channel
  • Click your profile icon
  • Click Creator Studio
  • Click Analytics
  • Scroll down to Engagement Reports
  • Go to the last link which says Cards
  • Click “Cards”
  • Here’s an overview of YouTube card stats
  • Card teaser clicks – this is the number of times a teaser has been clicked. The Card icon clicks get attributed to the last teaser shown
  • Card Teaser Rate..this is the average teaser clicks per teaser impression. It measures how often viewers clicked a teaser after seeing it.
  • Card Clicks is the number of times a card has been clicked by a viewer
  • Card Click Rate..this is the average card clicks per impression. This measures how often viewers clicked a card after seeing it.
  • You can view the stats with a line graph or via a graphical interface. If you hover over the graph it shows you the stats for each individual card
  • It can also display a pie graph, bar graph or geographical view

The most important metric to analyze
is the individual YouTube card

  • So I’ve got a video called “YouTube Cards” & the card teaser clicks are 56.
  • The teaser click rate is 22.05% and I’ve got 9 clicks so the click through rate is 14.75% which is pretty good
  • I can view the Card by Card Type
  • As you can see in the video above my playlist card received the highest number of clicks whereas my associated website card received the smallest number of clicks
  • If I click the video tab it shows the video which receives the most number of clicks
  • If I click “more” then I have the option to view the geography, date or subscription status
  • If I click on the individual video for instance “YouTube Cards – mobile friendly annotations” then I can view the stats for the individual card.
  • If I hover my mouse over the graph it shows the number of clicks for specific dates

Here’s a power tip

Although you can add up to 5 Cards per video, it will decrease viewer engagement. Instead just use one or 2 cards per video to get high click rates.

That’s it!

Now you know how to measure the performance of
