It has <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.8 billion users<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> per month, which is just shy of Facebook, the world\u2019s biggest social media platform, which has over 2 billion. Not only is it the king of video content, but it\u2019s also a powerful <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">search engine for videos<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And when you function as one, you\u2019ll have your own SEO best practices to rank high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like Google, YouTube has its own search engine results page (SERP), which is where you\u2019ll find the top performing videos based on your search keywords. While they may be similar, YouTube is a little different from Google\u2019s SEO that we know and practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But before you learn about a few advanced tricks on how to be SEO savvy on YouTube, you must first know how to improve your content. The goal of your videos is to help you gain popularity across the video-sharing site. To do that, you should get video views and subscribers to your channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Using keywords in your video title, description, and tags is standard procedure. Remember to do your keyword research so you can optimize around the keywords that you\u2019ll end up using for your YouTube video content. Don\u2019t forget to add a transcript of your videos, too. This makes it easier for both YouTube and Google to find your videos on searches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve got that down pat, it\u2019s time to go to work at your home office or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flexible workspace<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with these five advanced hacks for SEO to boost your video content:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Frontload your keywords<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your target keywords in your title when optimizing your videos. But in case you didn\u2019t know, YouTube puts more weight on titles that have the keywords placed at the beginning of the title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you want to rank your video for buying a bass guitar and you used the title \u201c5 Useful Tips in Buying a Bass Guitar.\u201d There\u2019s nothing wrong with this title, but you can make it more SEO friendly if you front-load it with the keywords and come up instead with \u201cBuying a Bass Guitar: 5 Useful Tips.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Amplify engagement signals<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engagement is a huge factor when it comes to ranking videos on YouTube so all those shares, likes, comments, and subscribers will push a video up the charts more than those that lack engagement. These metrics tell YouTube that people are drawn to your video and are loving its content. And out of all these engagement signals, comments have a direct connection to ranking more than the others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/amplifier-analogue-audio-164926.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11412\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/amplifier-analogue-audio-164926.jpg?resize=640%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/amplifier-analogue-audio-164926.jpg?w=710&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/amplifier-analogue-audio-164926.jpg?resize=300%2C152&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best ways to encourage viewers to comment is to leave a more specific call to action at the end of your video. So, instead of asking them to like and share your video or subscribe if they\u2019re not followers yet, you should give your audience something more specific to comment on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using our first example, you can ask your viewers which tip in buying a bass they found the most helpful. Because you asked a direct question, it\u2019s much easier for them to leave a comment, thus boosting engagement on your video.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Use the TAB formula for video tags (target, alternative, and broad)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video tags aren\u2019t as important as they used to be. However, they still make a difference if you do it right. Keep in mind that your video tags are designed to help YouTube understand your video\u2019s content, which means you don\u2019t need a lot of them to get the job done. In fact, too many tags may do more harm than good by confusing both YouTube and Google, which won\u2019t help with your ranking at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you need to do is approach this using specific tags through the TAB formula, which stands for the target, alternative, and broad. First, make sure that your initial tag is your target keyword. Just like with your video title, YouTube puts more weight on tags that appear early on, so your first video tag is important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/clothes-commerce-indoor-1210484.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11413\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/clothes-commerce-indoor-1210484.jpg?resize=640%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/clothes-commerce-indoor-1210484.jpg?w=710&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/clothes-commerce-indoor-1210484.jpg?resize=300%2C152&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, create two to three tags that are alternative versions of your target keywords. You can find them when you type in your target keywords on YouTube\u2019s search bar and see what the site suggests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, include one or two broad terms in your last set of tags. These tags should be able to describe your video\u2019s overall topic or what industry it\u2019s in. The goal of these broad tags is to help YouTube give more context on your video.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Create longer videos and write longer video descriptions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a fact that longer videos tend to outrank shorter ones, with the average length of those appearing on the first page of YouTube search results clocking in at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14 minutes, 50 seconds<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. YouTube now focuses on videos that increase the amount of time that the viewer will spend watching them on the site. So, to hit the sweet spot, try to make your videos between eight and 15 minutes long.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To give your video that extra ranking kick, long descriptions are better than short ones since it helps YouTube understand what your video is all about. To help you rank with competitive keywords, the recommended length is between 100 to 200 words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can outline the content of your video without giving everything away. Keep in mind that you can write lengthy descriptions but still leave your viewers wanting to watch the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Appear as a suggested video<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube\u2019s ranking is more than just appearing in the search results. In fact, you can get as many hits as the popular videos (if not more) by getting your video to appear as a suggested video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A suggested video is when your video gets to show up next to another on the sidebar. So, if you can get yours to appear next to a popular one, you can steal some of their views. The best way to show up as a suggested video is to copy the tags used by these popular videos that have a massive number of views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/archive-beautiful-book-stack-256455.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11414\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/archive-beautiful-book-stack-256455.jpg?resize=640%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/archive-beautiful-book-stack-256455.jpg?w=710&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/archive-beautiful-book-stack-256455.jpg?resize=300%2C152&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When YouTube recognizes that your tags are similar to those of the popular video, it will automatically understand that your video is about the same topic. This will give you the honor of being a suggested video in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To determine the tags of the popular videos, you\u2019ll need to look at the source code of the page. If you\u2019re using Google Chrome, just right click on the page and click \u2018View Page Source.\u2019 Here, you\u2019ll find what you\u2019re looking for at the keyword section of the page. You can also use tools such as TubeBuddy or VidIQ for easier tag lookup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can now use a few of the tags and include them in yours, but make sure you copy them word for word. And if your video is of high quality and somehow related to the popular video, YouTube will start to rank you as a suggested video.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since YouTube is the number one site in the world when it comes to video sharing, having a presence there is crucial if your content is focused on the platform. Creating high-quality video content is just the first step. Making them visible to your target audience is the next challenge you need to overcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But now that you\u2019ve learned a few advanced tricks, your videos are ready to rank higher on YouTube\u2019s search engine results pages. You\u2019ll be gaining those views, comments, and subscribers in no time if you manage to pull these hacks off perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube has established itself as the premier website for sharing video content.
