How to Optimize YouTube Video Title SEO & Best Practices

By  |  March 14, 2018  |  SEO  |  Comments

Optimizing your YouTube video title with SEO can easily increase your views. Thus, If you want to drive more views on YouTube, then this simple title method is one you won’t want to miss.

Wondering how to write video titles that get views? The video title is the most important piece of text content when it comes to getting YouTube views. Know as YouTube metadata, the title trumps all.

In this video, I share an incredibly method that I leverage in order to rank videos, drive more views and gain exposure. Also note, this video is part of a two video series, this being part two.

The easiest and most effective way to rank videos in YouTube is to focus on relevancy. YouTube search actually sorts video results by relevancy and a few other factors including accumulated watch time and audience retention.

Thus, by paying attention to exact youtube search terms and using those exact match keyword phrases at your video title, you’ll gain an edge over other videos that have long titles that are not targeting one particular search term.

This is video title SEO at it’s finest.

    Keep in mind that most mobile phones doesn't support YouTube Cards. So I can't see anything when you point to them.

    I was amazed at how well this works when we applied it. We hit the front page of search for several of the keyphrases we targeted following your videos... the Google Chrome research hack is GOLD!

    Brian you've quickly become one of my favorite YouTube Channels. You do an amazing job of synthesizing difficult subjects without skipping steps. I had a few ideas for videos that I'd love to see you tackle.

    1. Browser Features and why this is now more important than Suggested Videos for channel authority. And maybe even a second more specific video on how to optimize your videos for Browser Feature.

    2. I'm currently building my "Morris Invest" real estate YouTube channel and I've been trying to build my videos to rank for key words and key word searches that aren't competitive but that will help my channel grow. Any more specific videos on this subject would be welcome. Even if you want to get into the weeds with strategy I would go back and watch those videos multiple times!

    3. Session Start Time. I know that YouTube rewards session start time and if you drive traffic from Facebook over to YouTube that's even better. I'd love for you to talk more deeply about the types of results you see from sharing your videos on Facebook. But Facebook doesn't make it easy to share YouTube videos. So how you do it? Do you find that people click on your videos on Facebook? What kinds of analytics do you see? And perhaps another video on how to natively share your YouTube videos on Facebook... do you have your "subscribe" stuff edited out and revise your end screens so that it makes more sense for Facebook?

    Anyway these are some of the topics that I know you would crush if you got your hands on them. Keep up the great work. Clayton
