Automated VidIQ Back Catalog Audits
Every Monday, WebRun opens VidIQ, works through your older uploads, notes which titles, tags, and descriptions look thin against how the video is performing, saves a ranked refresh list to Google Drive, and drafts you a Gmail summary of the ones worth rewriting first.
How do I find old YouTube videos that need better titles and tags?
Every Monday WebRun opens VidIQ, reviews your published back catalogue, and flags older videos whose titles, tags, and descriptions are holding views back. It saves the ranked audit to Google Drive and drafts a Gmail summary of the top rewrite candidates, so past uploads keep earning views instead of going quiet.
- Old uploads get re-tagged instead of forgotten
- Monday starts with a ranked rewrite list, not a blank search
- Every flagged video says exactly what is missing

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it change my video titles or tags?
No. WebRun only reads and reports. Every rewrite suggestion lands in a Google Drive list for you to apply yourself, so nothing on your channel changes without you.
Will it send the summary email by itself?
No. The Monday summary is left as a Gmail draft for you to read and send. WebRun composes it and stops there.
How far back does the audit go?
As far back as you tell it. Point it at the whole catalogue or only videos older than a set number of months, and it works that range every Monday.
