The Smart Home fingerprint
Six dimensions of the niche at a glance — each scaled 0–100 across our coverage, so the shape reads at a glance and compares across niches.
- Demand — total daily views earned by the videos ranking across the niche — observed and noise-corrected, not an estimated search count
- Breadth — distinct keywords people search
- Creators — channels with a committed footprint here (consistently rank for the niche and are focused on it), not one-off/viral rankers
- Commercial — share of demand with buying intent
- Opportunity — how open the field is (inverse of leader dominance)
- Web reach — distinct domains intercepting these searches on the web
Where the demand is
The sub-topics inside Smart Home, ranked by observed daily demand.
Sub-niches overlap — a keyword like a shared accessory can belong to several — so these bars add up to more than the 40.1M niche total, which counts each keyword only once.
Which topics are being watched faster
Change in view velocity per week relative to the market — median per video, day-normalized, over the last few complete weeks, measured against the median sub-niche across every niche we track. (Not view count, which only ever rises.)
