YouTube Channel Engagement Audit

I run a small-to-mid-size YouTube channel whose views and watch-time numbers have stalled. I want a seasoned creator or strategist—someone who has actually grown a successful channel—to dig into my analytics and give me a blunt, practical audit focused on audience engagement and interaction.

My top pain-point is watch time and retention. From what I can see in the analytics, viewers drop off well before the halfway mark, so I suspect our content delivery and pacing are the culprits. I need fresh, expert eyes to confirm (or refute) that hunch and show me what to fix.

What I expect from you:

• Review of the overall channel dashboard plus a sample set of recent videos (I’ll share direct links and access to YouTube Studio).
• Deep-dive into retention graphs, average view duration, and click-through trends using native Analytics or third-party tools like TubeBuddy or vidIQ if you prefer.
• Clear, written findings that explain why specific segments lose viewers, how pacing or structure affects it, and where engagement opportunities are missed.
• Actionable recommendations: scripting tweaks, pacing frameworks, mid-roll engagement cues, and content quality improvements I can implement immediately.
• A short follow-up call or screen-share to walk me through your analysis and answer questions.

Acceptance criteria: a concise audit report (PDF or Google Doc) delivered within the agreed timeline, containing data snapshots, explanations in plain language, and a prioritized action list.

If you have case studies or channel links that prove you’ve solved similar retention issues, please include them in your bid. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right partner.
