Published on 15.05.2020 by Natia
YouTube has its own algorithm according to which it decides which videos should appear fist during a search. It depends on a number of factors.
Target Keyword
Think for which search phrase could affect the video rank higher. As soon as you choose a target keyword (or a phrase), center your video on it.
You should optimize your video around the keyword. Keep in mind that YouTube will transcribe the video and quickly understands if your keyword is relevant to the content of the video. Pay attention to the video title and description, as well as the tags.
Put your keyword in the left part of the video title. According to the title and description, only it must be clear what the video is about.
Use Tags
While uploading a video, make sure that it has tags, as they are very important for the YouTube algorithm to rank your video.
Through tags, YouTube also tries to understand what the video concerns. The first tag should be your target keyword. And the others must be the variations of it. In this way, YouTube will be able to understand your content further.
Engagement
Engagement means the amount of all the likes, comments, and subscribers that you get through your videos. So, you should do your best to increase all these. Encourage the viewers to like the video or subscribe to your channel. Ask to comment on their opinion on the content-related question. Be creative and engage them to be more active.
More engagement your post receives, YouTube will make sure that the video is relevant. So it will rank higher.
