Pro Tips

1

Front-load keywords in the first 150 characters

YouTube shows only the first 150 characters in search results. Put your most important keyword and value proposition here.

2

Add timestamps for chapters

YouTube creates automatic chapters from timestamps (00:00 format), improving user experience and potentially earning featured snippets.

3

Include a CTA early

Don't bury your call-to-action at the bottom. Include a subscribe reminder or link within the first 2-3 lines.

4

Use 3-5 relevant hashtags

YouTube shows the first 3 hashtags above your video title. Choose them carefully for discoverability.

Common Issues & Solutions

Make sure your target keyword appears in the first sentence, title, and tags. Repeat it naturally 2-3 times throughout the description.

Ensure your timestamps start with 00:00 and follow the MM:SS format. You need at least 3 timestamps for YouTube to create chapters.
