Guide: how to use Traffic Source Deep Dive
YouTube Studio tells you what share of your views came from Browse, Search, Suggested, External and Direct. It does not tell you what that mix means or which source you should grow next. Traffic Source Deep Dive estimates the mix for your channel type, explains what each pattern says about channel health, and gives specific optimisations for the source that matters most for your goals.
