The “Analytics” tab in YouTube Creator Partnerships lets you review both organic and paid performance metrics for all your linked creator videos and provides a comprehensive view of their impact.

How the Analytics tab works
The Analytics tab shows a unified performance view, which means for any creator video linked to your Google Ads account, you can view both aggregated and individual linked video metrics like views, watch time, likes, comments, shares and engagement rate that can be adjusted by time.
How Reach metrics work
We’re adding a new group of metrics called Reach metrics under the Videos table. Reach metrics show the estimated number of people who viewed your video, including co-viewers who watched the video together.
To measure the total reach of an ad, this metric uses cross-device statistical models. These models adjust for cases where people see the same ad on different devices, or where multiple people share one device. The system calculates these models at the country level.
Understand Reach metrics limitations
Unique reach metrics have several current limitations. First, you can only calculate unique reach for up to 92 days. Second, you can only segment reach metrics by week or month. Day, quarter, and year segments are not available. If you select a timeframe longer than 92 days, or if you segment by quarter or year, the table displays a hyphen (-).
How to navigate and use the Analytics tab
- Go to YouTube Creator Partnerships within the Tools menu and select the Analytics tab.
- In the analytics table, select the Linked videos performance tab to view performance by video or select the Creators with sponsored content tab to view performance by creator.

- Note: Organic and paid traffic metrics may appear lower than YouTube Video Watch page metrics due to reporting delays.
