Know which posts bring YouTube visits and customers
Your videos with their views, likes and comments. Read-only. Put a ?ut=youtube link in the description to count the clicks.
Not open yet: waiting for Google verification. The integration is built and will be switched on as soon as that is done.
What upTake reads from YouTube
upTake reads your own posts on YouTube with the public counters YouTube gives for them, going back up to 90 days on the first sync. Each post becomes an entry in your log of actions. When a post contains one of your tagged links (yoursite.com/?ut=youtube), the visits, signups and payments that link brought are attached to that post.
How to connect YouTube
You need an upTake project first; creating one takes about four minutes. Click Connect on the Integrations page: a YouTube window opens, you sign in there and approve the access. upTake never sees your YouTube password.
What you see afterwards
Your posts sit in the Posts & actions log with the visits, signups and revenue each one brought, and as markers on your traffic chart. The weekly report ranks them, says which ones only brought attention, and suggests what to post next.
What upTake never reads
upTake never posts, likes or replies for you on YouTube, and it does not read your private messages or the list of people who follow you.
Whatever you connect, the IP addresses of your visitors are never stored, and the keys and accesses you give are stored encrypted and never sent back to your browser.
Good to know
You can disconnect YouTube at any time from the Integrations page: upTake stops at once, and what was already imported stays in your project until you delete it. Your data is hosted in the European Union, and you can export all of it, or delete your account, from Settings.
Why connect it
Most analytics tools stop at where your visitors came from. upTake goes one step further: it ties each visit and each payment back to the thing you did, whether a post, a link you shared or a release you shipped, and tells you every week what to do more of. YouTube is one more piece of that picture.
