YouTube Social Listening for Videos and Comments
People ask for recommendations, compare products and complain about tools in YouTube comments, usually under reviews and tutorials in your category. Prospy searches YouTube for your keywords, keeps new videos that mention them and reads the newest comments on the top results. Comments that name your product, a competitor or your problem land in your feed with an intent score.
UpdatedProspy finds new YouTube videos and comments that mention your keywords, scores each one for intent and links straight to the comment so you can reply. YouTube is one of 12 sources Prospy watches, all in one feed.

What Prospy looks for on YouTube
Keywords find the posts. AI reads each one and scores how likely it is that the author needs what you sell.
- Comments asking which tool to use after a review or tutorial
- Viewers comparing your product with a competitor under a comparison video
- Complaints about a competitor's pricing, bugs or support
- New videos whose title or description names your keywords

Prospy reads videos and comments
For each keyword, Prospy searches YouTube, keeps new matching videos and pulls the newest comments on the top two results. Only comments that contain your keyword are kept.
- 3
Reply where it matters
Each comment links straight to its place under the video, with a relevance and intent score. Reply on YouTube or send it to Slack, email or a webhook.
Built for YouTube
Comment-level results
A match can be a single comment, linked directly, with the video it sits under for context.
Keyword rotation
Each scan checks up to three keywords on YouTube. Projects with more keywords rotate through them across scans, so every keyword gets its turn.
Same scoring as every source
YouTube comments get the same relevance and intent scores as Reddit threads or X posts, so you can rank them side by side.

What's searched: Videos and their comments
Video titles and descriptions, plus the newest comments on the top search results for each keyword.

Projects with more YouTube keywords rotate through them across scans.

YouTube is on by default for new keywords, so matching videos and comments show up with the rest.
Best uses for YouTube monitoring
- SaaS teams answering 'what should I use instead?' comments under competitor reviews
- Agencies and creators tracking what viewers say about a brand on channels they don't own
- Product teams collecting feature requests and complaints from tutorial comment sections
Does Prospy monitor YouTube comments or only videos?
Both. For each keyword it keeps new videos whose title or description matches, and it reads the newest comments on the top two search results, keeping the comments that contain your keyword.
Is Prospy a YouTube comment finder for a specific video?
No. Prospy doesn't search the comments of a video you pick. It starts from your keywords, finds the videos YouTube returns for them and reads their newest comments. If you need every comment on one video, a dedicated comment search tool is the better fit.
Can I monitor a specific YouTube channel?
No. YouTube monitoring in Prospy is keyword based: it finds videos through YouTube search rather than by following a channel.
How many YouTube keywords are checked per scan?
Up to three per project. If you have more, Prospy rotates which keywords it checks, so each one comes up in turn on later scans.
