This is where you have an opportunity to optimize how your video will appear in YouTube search. In addition to simply uploading the video, you’ll want to describe what the video contains and the problem it tries to solve. Write a good title with keywords Do a quick search on YouTube with your first idea for a keyword. You will see a bunch of suggested searches auto-populate in the dropdown menu. This list of search terms can help you pinpoint a topic or theme for your video. Choose good tags A good rule of thumb is to choose no more than 12 tags that accurately reflect what people can find in your video. The more relevant the better. Extremely generic tags may not help your video get to the people who are looking for it. Write a good description You should write a blurb about what is contained in your video. You can just stick to a few sentences or you can write much more. Be sure to pepper in your keywords in this section as well as provide outbound links to more information about your business, relevant content outside of YouTube and other videos that may be of interest. Add an interesting thumbnail You may want to upload your own thumbnail that more accurately tells your viewers what the video will be about. This can be a different frame from the video itself or a completely separately made graphic. Think about what will catch someone’s attention. Add closed captions Not only is this great for the deaf or hard of hearing, but this text is crawlable by search engines and will help your SEO. Taking the time to make valuable content can bring the customers to your business. YouTube can be a huge asset for your business once you know how to optimize YouTube videos.
