YouTube SEO: Optimizing Your Video Title and Description

YouTube is often called the world's second-largest search engine. Getting the video title and description right directly affects views coming from organic search.

Keywords in the Title

Placing the searched term near the beginning of the title improves visibility in both search results and suggested videos. But avoiding clickbait titles matters — viewer dissatisfaction hurts the channel long-term.

The First 2-3 Lines of the Description

The part of the description visible in search results should clearly summarize what the video is about and naturally include keywords.

Timestamps

Adding chapter-based timestamps to long videos improves viewer experience and also helps YouTube better understand the video's content.
