What made this youtube short to rank on youtube?
(This ss is taken only after few hours of publishing so the number of views seems quite low..)
Well there are a lot things that really matters while doing youtube SEO, here are few of them…
- Text which I talked about in first few seconds of the video.
- Caption which is related to the exact keyword.
- Thumbnail to grab people’s eyes and insist them to click on it.
- Video file to show what exactly the video is about.
- Relevancy to improve retention.
(most people lack it, because they think after talking few words of exact keyword and putting it on caption helps them to rank but it’s the last part of it. Because if you can’t provide relevant information or teach your audience then you can’t win or at least can’t win for long term.)
The bottomline on Youtube SEO
Well these are only things that help you to rank your content, but finding the right keyword and tailoring the content according to it without harming relevancy and flow is important.
Everyone can make a video, but making a video that provides real value to both youtube’s algorithm and audience is the main thing.
