How to Optimize YouTube video for SEO

YouTube and Google do not have the ability to watch and understand your video, therefore, you need to optimize your video by adding a relevant title, description, and tags. Your ranking depends on these three major factors, therefore, do not neglect the title, description, and tags for YouTube video optimization.

Remember these steps while Uploading YouTube Videos

• Optimize Your Video Title: Your title should be few words long and add the keyword you are targeting in the title. Do not use shorter  title try to make it a bit longer but so that we can target long tail keywords.

• Use Tags: Make sure to add tags that are relevant to your content and is research wisely before using it. Try to use tags that have higher search volume and is relevant. Do not use spammy techniques like repeating the same tags again and again.

• Create a Useful Description: I have watched several videos in which uploader uses just a few line of a sentence in the description but remember guys it’s a serious issue and can impact your long term ranking. Try to include several hundreds of words in your description (almost same as a short blog post) and try to repeat the keyword you are targeting in the description. Also, make sure that you use plenty of relevant keyword in the description this will help you to optimize your video both for YouTube and Google.
