Step 1: Build an Inventory
| Column | Why |
|---|---|
| Title and date | Track age |
| Views and watch time | Performance |
| Click-through rate | Packaging strength |
| Topic or pillar | Fit with channel |
| Accuracy | Is information still correct? |
Step 2: Decide What to Do With Each Video
Keep
Performing and accurate.
Repackage
Good content, weak title or thumbnail.
Update
Outdated info; add notes or remake.
Hide
Off-topic or misleading; unlist carefully.
Step 3: Organise Playlists and Homepage
- Group videos into series playlists
- Order playlists for beginners first
- Feature your best evergreen video
- Update channel trailer
- Add end screens linking related videos
Be Careful Deleting
Deleting removes views, comments, and links others may have shared. Unlisting or adding corrections is often safer. For new content after an audit, see what kind of videos to make next, and for growth from early stages, growing a channel from scratch.
