Overview

YouTube SEO, in plain terms

YouTube ranking is mostly a retention problem wearing a metadata costume. Keywords get you considered; watch time is what actually decides whether the algorithm pushes you.

We work on both, plus the thumbnail and title pairing that decides whether anyone clicks in the first place.

  • Video keyword research using YouTube and Google demand data
  • Title, description, tag and chapter optimisation
  • Thumbnail concepts tested for click-through
  • Retention analysis and scripting guidance
  • Channel architecture, playlists and end screens
