Troubleshooting
- No results — Verify the video ID (11 characters). Private/deleted videos won't appear. New videos take 24–48 hrs to index.
- Low similarity scores — Highly unique content has fewer close matches. Low scores can signal differentiated positioning.
- Irrelevant results — The algorithm matches on content signals, not always semantic meaning. Add a niche or category filter to your prompt.
- Quota limit reached — If you've hit your daily limit, Upgrade to Pro for higher quota limits.
