Question 1

What is ShadowCheck and how does it work?

ShadowCheck is an AI-powered YouTube channel audit tool. It analyzes your channel using YouTube Data API and AI to identify growth blockers, detect potential shadow bans, and provide actionable recommendations in 30 seconds.

Question 2

How accurate is the shadow ban detection?

Accepted Answer

Our shadow ban detection analyzes multiple signals: view velocity drops, engagement rate changes, search visibility, and YouTube algorithm patterns. While no tool can be 100% certain (YouTube doesn't officially confirm shadow bans), ShadowCheck provides a risk score with detailed evidence.

Question 3

How is ShadowCheck different from ChatGPT for YouTube analysis?

Accepted Answer

ShadowCheck uses real YouTube Data API to analyze actual channel metrics, not just text descriptions. We provide specific, data-driven insights based on real numbers — not generic advice based on what you tell an AI.

Question 4

How long does a channel audit take?

Accepted Answer

A complete Channel Health Check takes approximately 30 seconds. We analyze your channel statistics, recent video performance, engagement patterns, and generate AI recommendations in real-time.
