A Brand Account enables users to control editing permissions and build a more holistic online presence. We can help you to better customize your account and add an interesting channel description to make it more engaging.
Optimizing your YouTube videos
Title:
Just like how on-page SEO works, it is vital to optimizing your video’s title and description. Your titles are the first things that people read while scrolling down through a list of videos. You need to make them clear, compelling and curious. The keyword research is fundamental to understand what viewers are searching for.
Description:
Only the first few lines or about 100 characters of the video description will be visible on the video. To read beyond, the users will have to click on ‘show more’. So, you need to make sure that your users are kept engaged with the important links or CTAs at the beginning of your description.
You can include the video transcript to improve SEO and add default channel description that has links to your social channels, video credits, and video-specific time stamps. Including #hashtags in your video titles and descriptions can be a great idea as well.
There are other details like categories, thumbnails, annotations, etc .

Blog Posts and Website

Email and Quora

YouTube Tags:
It is certainly worth adding appropriate and descriptive tags to your YouTube videos. But it is not something worth spending too much time. YouTube themselves openly acknowledge that video tags are insignificant compared to your video’s title, thumbnail, and description. So, spend more of your time and effort into them. Moreover, creating engaging videos that retain viewers’ attention is the most important of all.
However, there are certain things that you should keep in mind while adding YouTube tags to your videos:
These are the words and phrases that represent your video and provide more meaning to help people find your content. So, it is necessary that you add the YouTube tags to your videos cleverly!
There are two methods to add YouTube tags to your videos smartly:
YouTube tags play an important role in ranking factor in YouTube’s search algorithm. Like any other metadata, the YouTube tags provide an opportunity to provide YouTube and Google information about your video including your video’s topic, category, etc. So, it is important to think twice and brainstorm before adding YouTube tags. We recommend getting specific by doing keyword research and competitor analysis.
Let’s answer some FAQs regarding YouTube Tags:
Ans:?YouTube has a 500 character limit in the tag field. So, using as many possible but relevant tags is recommended. YouTube informs you when you have crossed the character limit. Tools like VidIQ can make the process of filling out tags easier as it adds a counter below the tag box.
Ans:?No, it doesn’t. However, we recommend putting the most important tags in the beginning and you will perform well. Although, it is unlikely that the order of tags will affect your ranking.
Optimize the YouTube tags but pay attention to the whole process
Optimizing tags is great to let YouTube know what your video is about. But you must know they are just a small piece of a huge puzzle. Just adding tags will not get you the desired results. Make sure you add relevant descriptions and titles to your videos.
