SEO Tips When Uploading Youtube Videos

In Southeast Asia, the Philippines ranks among the highest in online video consumption - even if we rank among the slowest Internet speeds in the region. This makes Youtube a top-ranked search engine comparable to Google, its mother company. Here are a few tips on how to rank better and get results so that your vids pop out when users try to search for it.

SEO TIPS FOR YOUTUBE

1. When thinking of a title, try to answer this question "what words or phrases would I put in the Youtube search box to find this video or a similar one?" then work towards making your title as close to your answer as possible
2. Tags (Broad) - Youtube has options to tag your videos. Start with the broad categories first. For example, if you are posting a video tutorial for an online game, try the following broad keywords first
1. MMO
2. MMORPG
3. ONLINE GAME
4. VIDEO GAME
5. GAME
6. TUTORIALS
3. Tags (specific) - once you're done with the broad keywords, drill it down to more specific words and phrases. This can be close to the actual brand or name of the product itself. Make sure to click on the suggested Youtube tags if prompted
4. Category - The category you choose will also have a major impact on the searches. Make sure you choose the closest one related to your video.

That's it!

I hope you learned something from this. Best of luck in your Youtube SEO!
