Research: SEO Tips

Prompt: Are there any SEO tips for YouTube videos related to titles, keywords, and hashtags?

Copilot: Absolutely! Here are some SEO tips for optimizing your YouTube videos:

Titles

  1. Keep it Short and Catchy: Aim for around 60 characters. Make sure it grabs attention and clearly indicates what the video is about.
  2. Use Keywords: Include relevant keywords at the beginning of the title to improve search visibility.
  3. Be Specific: Clearly describe the content of the video so viewers know what to expect.

Keywords

  1. Research Keywords: Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, YouTube’s search bar suggestions, or specialized SEO tools to find relevant keywords.
  2. Use Long-Tail Keywords: These are more specific phrases that are less competitive and can attract a more targeted audience.
  3. Avoid Keyword Stuffing: Use keywords naturally and avoid overloading your title, description, or tags with too many keywords.

Hashtags

  1. Add Relevant Hashtags: Use up to 15 hashtags in your description, but only the first three will be visible above your title. Make sure they are relevant to your content.
  2. Use Branded Hashtags: Create unique hashtags for your channel or specific campaigns to build community and brand identity.
  3. Avoid Overusing Hashtags: Stick to hashtags that are directly related to your video content to avoid looking spammy.

Descriptions

  1. Provide Detailed Information: Use the description to give a thorough overview of the video content, including timestamps for different sections.
  2. Include Keywords: Naturally incorporate keywords throughout the description to improve search rankings.
  3. Call to Action: Encourage viewers to like, comment, and subscribe to your channel.

Tags

  1. Use Relevant Tags: Include tags that are directly related to your video content and keywords.
  2. Mix Broad and Specific Tags: Use a combination of broad tags (e.g., “cooking”) and specific tags (e.g., “vegan recipes”) to cover different search queries.
  3. Analyze Competitors: Look at tags used by similar videos that rank well to get inspiration.

By following these tips, you can improve your YouTube video’s visibility and attract more viewers. Do you have any specific questions about any of these tips?

Feel free to provide a text sample, and I can demonstrate how to optimize it for SEO!

Prompt: Make SEO recommendations for the following text: The premise of one of those Chad blind dating stories was that his date was an alphabet people activist, more specifically she was pansexual. I wanted to give her an uncommon name which would give representation to those thinking outside the norm. I ended up naming her Mauvielle as a feminization of a brand of copper pans; Mauviel is a French surname meaning ‘great humanity’ per my minimal internet searching. Other appellations inspired by pan brand names that I considered included Demeyere (meaning mayor, so a community leader) and Creusette (adapted from a word meaning crucible). The whole pan theme just made me laugh. Mauvielle’s story isn’t plot critical so she will not make the cut for my draft The Misadventures of Chad Seeking a Wife novel but will go into a companion anthology with the goth chick Lillith sporting the blood tear makeup. However, the blind date with 300 lbs. body positivity activist will likely make the novel as it included Chad’s reaction to learning that Audrey, his final date, no longer worked as a waitress at the restaurant where he meets all his blind dates.
