Self-Help Strategy:
Using appropriate keywords can amplify your search visibility on both YouTube and Google.
More specifically:
- Fine-tune video descriptions and meta descriptions.
- Incorporate closed captions in your videos using an SRT file.
- Apply well-researched keywords.
- Select the most fitting category for your video.
- Include keywords in these areas to improve your ranking:
- Title
- Thumbnail
- Video file name
- Description
- Tags
Additionally, use tools like SEM rush and Google Trends.
With Google Trends, keep track of:
- How long did the viewer spend watching my video?
- Did they proceed to my website after watching?
- Where are the users who are watching my videos located?
In SEM rush, generate a content template.
YouTube search trends rank videos based on their appeal to the target audience. Factors like total and current views, the growth rate of views, the origin of the views, and the video’s age all matter. YouTube picks videos that resonate most with viewers and reflect the diverse audience on the platform.
Note that the key to optimizing your video content or YouTube ad is conducting thorough keyword research, analysis, understanding, and implementation.
