Most businesses track the wrong video metrics. Views and followers are vanity — business value comes from leads generated, pipeline influenced, and revenue attributable to video content.
The Video Metrics Hierarchy
Tier 1 (Business): Revenue from video, leads from CTAs, pipeline influenced. Tier 2 (Performance): Conversion rate on video pages, email subscribers from CTAs. Tier 3 (Content): Watch time, view duration, engagement rate. Most teams focus on Tier 3 while ignoring Tier 1.
YouTube Analytics Setup
Connect YouTube to Google Analytics 4. Track: traffic from YouTube as a GA4 source, goal completions from YouTube traffic, and video engagement events.
Video Attribution Models
Last-click: undervalues awareness content. First-touch: captures top-of-funnel impact. Multi-touch: credits all touchpoints including video. Use GA4 multi-touch attribution.
Monthly Video Report Framework
KPIs: total video leads, video-attributed revenue, top performing videos by conversion, average watch time trend, subscriber growth rate, cost per lead from video ads.
