Quick answer

What is YouTube creator discovery?

YouTube creator discovery is the process of finding channels whose audience overlaps your buyers, assessing whether that audience is genuinely engaged, and obtaining a way to contact the creator.

The reason it is normally slow is that YouTube's search is built for viewers. It ranks by relevance to a watching intent, surfaces subscriber counts rather than engagement rates, and puts contact details behind a per-channel manual check. Partnership research needs the inverse of all three.

Before and after

What changes when you use the YouTube Creator Search?

Search is built for partnership research: filter by niche, size and audience rather than by watch relevance.

Manual Handled

Without Xicmo

  • Finding channels means YouTube's own search, which optimises for viewers rather than for partnership research.
  • Subscriber count is visible and engagement rate — the number that predicts anything — is not.
  • Contact details mean opening every About tab one channel at a time.
  • Shortlists live in a spreadsheet that is out of date the moment you build it.
  • An agency charges a retainer to hand you a list you could have assembled yourself.

With Xicmo

  • Search is built for partnership research: filter by niche, size and audience rather than by watch relevance.
  • Engagement is surfaced beside subscriber count, so a large dead channel is visible as one.
  • Contact details come attached to the result rather than requiring a manual pass.
  • Results are saved into named lists inside the workspace instead of a spreadsheet.
  • The discovery half of an influencer retainer becomes something you do yourself in an afternoon.

How it works

How does the YouTube Creator Search work?

In three steps: search your niche, then filter by real engagement, then save the shortlist.

Set up in minutes
  1. Step 1

    Search your niche

    Query by topic or seed channel and get back channels whose audience actually overlaps your market.

  2. Step 2

    Filter by real engagement

    Audience size beside engagement rate, so a channel with a large dormant subscriber base is identifiable before you invest in it.

  3. Step 3

    Save the shortlist

    Contacts come attached and the list saves into the workspace — no About-tab crawl, which is the part of this job everyone puts off.

Capabilities

What can the YouTube Creator Search do?

Searches channels by niche, reads audience size, checks engagement, and surfaces contact details.

6 capabilities

Niche and seed-channel search

Finds channels by topic or by similarity to one you already know performs for your market.

Audience size with engagement rate

Both numbers together, because subscriber count alone routinely overstates what a channel can deliver.

Contact details on the result

Surfaces publicly listed contact information so the shortlist is actionable without a manual pass.

Named lists saved in the workspace

Shortlists live beside the rest of your marketing data rather than in a spreadsheet that goes stale.

Per-workspace research history

Previous searches and saved lists persist, so the research compounds instead of restarting each campaign.

Shared workspace with the Instagram creator agent

YouTube and Instagram creator research sit in one workspace, so a cross-platform shortlist is one list.

Why it's different

A search engine, not a marketplace

Influencer marketplaces show you the creators who signed up to be shown — a pre-filtered set, usually priced for the platform's commission. This searches YouTube itself, which means the shortlist includes creators who have never listed themselves anywhere, and there is no markup on a deal you negotiate directly. The trade is honest: you do the outreach, because there is no marketplace intermediary to do it for you.

Why this channel

Long-form video keeps selling after publication

A YouTube review or tutorial keeps returning search traffic for years, which makes creator partnerships behave more like content investment than like advertising. It is also the platform where a genuine demonstration is possible, which matters disproportionately for products that need to be seen working.

Pricing

How much does the YouTube Creator Search cost?

The YouTube Creator Search is included from the Standard plan at $159 a month, which comes with 2,000 credits, and in every plan above it. Credits meter real AI usage rather than seats and refresh monthly. You can try it free for 48 hours with 600 credits and no card, or buy a 24-hour day pass for $5, and cancel any paid plan in one click.

Does it contact creators for me?

No. It finds them and surfaces their publicly listed contact details. The outreach is yours, which is also why there is no commission on anything you agree.

How is this different from an influencer marketplace?

A marketplace shows creators who opted into it and takes a cut of the deal. This searches YouTube directly, so the shortlist includes creators who never listed themselves, and there is no markup — at the cost of you doing the outreach.

Where do the contact details come from?

Publicly listed channel information. Nothing is scraped from behind a login and nothing private is surfaced.

Can it tell me if an audience is fake?

It surfaces engagement rate against subscriber count, which is the standard signal and catches the obvious cases. It is not fraud detection, and a determined fake will pass it.

Does it negotiate or handle payment?

No. Discovery and shortlisting only — the commercial relationship is directly between you and the creator.

Does it publish or send anything without my approval?

Not unless you tell it to. Every agent drafts into a queue and stops there: you read it, edit it, and press publish, or you don't, and nothing leaves. The one exception is opt-in: a Content Writer drip schedule can publish each finished blog to a CMS you connected, and only if you choose that when you set the schedule up.

Do I need any technical setup?

Add your website URL and the agents start working. Connecting Search Console or Analytics makes the SEO and GEO agents considerably sharper, and both are OAuth — no keys to paste, no DNS records, no code on your site.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every signup gets 48 hours with every agent except the Video Agent, 600 credits to spend and up to 3 websites, with no card required. After that a $5 day pass opens the same agents for another 24 hours, or a monthly plan keeps them running. Credits meter actual AI usage rather than seats.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans are monthly and cancel from billing in one click, with no contract or notice period, and you keep your plan until the month you paid for ends. Drafts you have already generated stay in your workspace.
