YouTube SEO: How to Rank #1 in YouTube

- Опубліковано 17 тра 2024
- A complete guide to UA-cam SEO. This video will show you EXACTLY how to rank your videos in UA-cam.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this action-packed guide:
First, I’ll show you the right (and wrong way) to optimize your video titles. I call this “Front-Loading”, and it’s something I do almost every time I upload a video.
Then, for our second tip, you’ll see how to increase the number of “Video Engagement Signals” your video gets. This is a key video SEO ranking signal.
I’ll then show you how to use video tags. Specifically, you’ll see how The TAB Formula helps you optimize your videos correctly.
Next up, we have CTR Magnet Thumbnails. Does your click-through-rate impact rankings? Yup! And optimized thumbnails (especially if you use CTR Magnet Thumbnails) are one of the fastest ways to get more clicks on your videos.
Then, I’ll dive into video descriptions. Most people sleep on their video’s description, but I’ve found it makes a small but significant dent in your video rankings.
Our 6th UA-cam SEO tip is to increase the length of your videos. It’s a fact that longer videos rank better in UA-cam. How long should your videos be, exactly? My data has the answer.
Moving right along to tip number 7, we have a cool little hack to get more people to click on your video. The secret? Optimizing your video title for SEO and click-through-rate.
Next up, we have “Rank in Suggested Video”. Suggested video is a big part of getting more views on UA-cam.
Last up, we have a strategy called “Turning Donkeys Into Unicorns”. This is one of my favorite ways of boosting audience retention - a key UA-cam SEO ranking factor.

I've watched a LOT of UA-cam advice videos. Most of them are filled with obvious, useless advice like "use tags." Thank you for not insulting our intelligence and offering some actual advanced strategies that help those of us who have mastered the basics up our game even further. Best UA-cam advice channel EVER.
Finally someone who knows how to speak to an audience with clear, clean explanations. Thank You
Have you found any success?
You're brilliant..
i searched "UA-cam SEO" and your video's rank is #1.
Impressive..
Not anymore...
The hardest thing a small UA-cam can feel is when you wake up in the morning and nothing has changed on your channel😂
Omg I hate that 😡
True
Lmao I’m triggered. Hahahah
How about -1 Subscriber early in the morning ?
Reddit Camp hot serving of sect doubt and disappointments.... yum
What the hell? This was legit a 15 minute video of great advice the whole time. I’m... shocked? Thank you!
k_stud yes
Yeah I love this video
if it actually works......did you try it even?
He really is respected in writing seo so he's now in UA-cam seo he's really good and shares everything!
Completely agree, this is the best 15 minutes I've spend on watching something on the last 7 days.
I could pay for this tutorial in Udemy but i'm glad it's free here.
And it would probably not be as good as this one! ;-)
Hahaha
Have you got any success?
Brian- include the year in your video title
Me- I clicked this video because it said 2020 in the title...and just now noticed it was made in 2017
Brian, you have honestly created a goldmine of UA-cam SEO knowledge. Thanks for such awesome guides and advice!
Ok. So this guy is obviously a professor at UA-cam University.
😂😂😂
The LABCOAT and GOGGLES totally gave it away
Best professor I ever had
Right 🤗and I can't believe how engaged I am.....🤩
Yea. He's most likely the Dean, Faculty of SEO
Oh man! you're a genius. Totally breakdown everything about UA-cam SEO. Thank you very much. Really helpful for a small channel like me. Have a nice weekend.
Excellent tutorial, Brian. Thank you so much. You are an outstanding teacher. Clear points with great examples. No fluff.
Wow! Thank you so much for this video. I've learned so much here and I can't wait to put it into action. You have really helped me. Thank you!
Did you use it? Worth it?
This guy is awesome!!! Seriously I’ve never learned so much in a year of watching other content creators!!
This video was amazing! Tons of great content. I took a page full of notes! Thanks for that!
This is a really good and informative video, best I’ve seen on UA-cam.
1. Keyword (s)
2. Call to action + likes, comments, subscription, shares
3. Tags - 2 to 3 tags with specific words (1-2)
4. Thumbnails - avoid white/red/black colors
5. Description - write it as a blog post (100-200 words)
6. Video length - 8-15 mins
7. Parentheses (...) - details
8. Imitate tags and descriptions of similar top-ranked videos
9. The longer the better - use analytics to understand what hooks them up
10. Include the current YEAR in your title
Thanks for sharing your research, great stuff!
This was just amazing Brian. Thank you sooo much. Im gonna use your tips from now on. Hope it'll work out. I subbed.
Thank you, I learned something that I don't know about how to write a correct way to the title, tags, and colors. I'm brand new so that's why I'm struggling a little. But I can see the light in a tunnel so, thank you for this video.
I have been watching for 6 hours straight, how to do SEO in UA-cam and within 15mins you simply shared more value than every other UA-camr out there together, thank you so much♥
A agree: all fifteen minutes are packed with great advice. No wonder you're at the top, Brian. BRAVO! And I will immediately put all 9 tips to use - plus the bonus tip. Thank you!!!
Brian, you knocked it out of the park! Exactly what I needed to hear. I’m getting to work on my tags and titles.
I'm still watching this in 2019 and its really helps, thanks Brian
2020!
This is genuinely the most useful SEO video I have ever viewed. Thank you :)
Thank you very much for the detailed information, I'm wondering if these techniques work for old videos that have some age? Will this help refresh them?
Holy crap. I had to pause this video several times to make notes. Amazing!
SAME!
Dang me too, I was like” this is good stuff better write that down”. Lol
Me too! Had pen in hand the whole time lol
Same here. The guy is good

I had been struggling with this concept on my own channel! Now thanks to your explanation, I’m going to implement it right away and make a video about it. Glad I subscribed to you
This was awesome! I'm thinking of applying the last one immediately. Thank you!
This is brilliant. Thank you and I'll start first adding year to my titles and of course work on with the rest of your tips.
You are seriously amazing. This video was extremely helpful. I took notes the entire time and cannot wait to implement all 9 of these strategies. From one Bryan to another Brian... thank you. Thank you for genuinely trying to help.
I've never taken notes during a YT video before. This was epic.
Great video thank you! Question: does the length of the video title matter?
Great advice - going to implement these strategies right away! Thank you 😁
Hi Brian I am working on posting my first UA-cam video but like you, I wanted to do some research on how to promote it first. I'm still struggling on what keywords to use and what exactly I want the video to be titled as. Personally I am going to start researching more about the videos that are similar to mine and start working on a template title/description. Thanks for the helpful tips and I can not wait to learn more!
Published 3years ago, still making impact 2020, thanks BRIAN.
Honestly I think you are the only one page which actually gives out knowledge instead of telling the obvious! Thank you so much!
All of these - absolutely fantastic tips!

What's up everybody! What topics does your channel cover? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
I'll go first: my channel is about SEO.
Entrepreneurship and marketing for coaches and experts :)
Tennis Court Resurfacing. Check out the sweet time lapse videos. Mesmerizing, right?
Brian Dean insane bro.. Particularly adding targeted keyword tag in the beginning.. You nailed it.
My channel is about Men Health
That was amazing ! Very informational and loved it every second of it. Thank you
Thanks for the great info! I'm going to first focus on front loading the title and the tags!
You are a master of youtube, man! I just made some changes at one video and it's ranking the third in search. Easy and valuable tips! Thanks a lot! 👏✨💯
Really great advice, Brian!! Although the 2019 threw me slightly!! Thanks for the tips x

I'm doing the same! But for my Relaxing Music channel! 😍
Hey, Brian! Great tips, as usual :)
I used almost all of them on one of my channels, and it grew up from 8.000 to 17.000 subscribers.
Without posting any new videos in a while...
And I see constant growth of views and subscriptions in UA-cam analytics.
Nice! Yup, on UA-cam it's quality over quantity. And this proves it.
Really great content. I took notes the whole way through! And subscribed :) thanks a mill
Hi Brian, thank for your videos, they are very awesome! if I publish a video and after a while I make some optimization edits, like in the tags or description or title according to your tips, how much time has to pass before something changes (if I make good changes) in the rank? Is there an average time? ... few days, weeks, months!
Lots of great tips - thanks for sharing Brian :) #Believe

Current Sub count : 2,839
Dec 29 2017
Cool man. Let's do this!
5 Day Update: Note: These results are going to be a bit skewed as my niche is popular in Jan but my channel is still a baby with little search volume. Total transparency...
*Thumbnails from my last 3 videos are now CTR Magnets (All suggestions applied) Love the look and cleanliness of them. Very different from what I was doing. They stick out from the competition.
*2,891 Subs +52
*18 comments on video vs 12 on average (Hyper specific CTA)
*500 views on video after a week vs 200 on average
*Headline, description and tags all following suggestions of video.
Overall very pleased with the tips and how easy they were to incorporate.
I'll be back in 2 months with an update->{March 2018}. (Goal) 5k Subs in March. 10K by Jan 2019.
Jan 22 2018 and just hit 3k subs.
Thanks, Brian! I revised some of the video titles I have lined up while watching this.
Man these are some of the BEST tips ever that NO ONE talks about. THANK YOU and I definitely subscribed 😊 ❤️
Hey Brian. This is so amazing knowledge for the new youtubers.iam so inspired after watching your videos today.Thankyou very much for the great tricks for the new journey .Thumbs up 👍 you’re Best Teacher in 2019 👨🏫

Awesome, Elvis.
Nice going to check my mails now
So true!! only just found him!
thank you, I used lots of your topics!
You are amazing! What I learned from this one video I haven't learned from hours of other videos on the same topic ... in fact, you actually blockify (I know it's not a word ...) usable chunks that no one does... keepém coming! Thanx. (esp love those small funny cutaways )
Ni vidiq ni tubebuddy enseñan lo q tu enseñaste en pura calidad. Gracias!
Before I even got to the second tip, I already left a positive comment 😂😂😂 based of that alone I subscribed
Nice!
Thank you for the great tips :) Subscribed. I'll be watching this repeatedly to apply all the techniques :D
Fantastic tips, I'm slowly incorporating them into my video titles and descriptions.
This was interesting! Here's a thank you comment :)
I liked the way you typed "This video is awesome" for video description.
I'm lost in youtube the whole time looking for this tutorial. This is insane and its free. And it is year 2020 now. This will help me man more since I am just beginning my career here. Thanks a lot
I learned more in 15 minutes than in the last 12 months. Thanks for the great video!
He: did you learn something new in this video

BacklinkO and Neil Patel are my biggest inspirations to start Digital Marketing to the higher level

I'm rewatching your playlist again and now taking notes.
I clicked this video because of (2018). It worked!!
hahaha ... it was released in 2017 and title now says "2019" .... hmmmmmmmm. I've more than 1000 videos in my channel now and now I can spend 2 days every year just by renaming them .... lol
I feel guilty for having these useful tips for free!! (2018)
[True Story!]
rafael.dickens I kind of have same feeling so I subscribed 👌
Me too!!
Tags: shame, guilt, guilty pleasure, ranking higher
@The Troy Spiral Experience thanks (2019)
This video is Straight-forward, no gimmicks. Thanks for the tips! God bless
as always great content! thank you for all advise! gonna use all of them right away 😄
Great tips bro. To all starters like me; even if we failed let's fail successfully and build upon it till we make it. It's doable, consistency is the key. Its never too late.
Is using multiple ( and ) for example:
"How to do this (FAST)(2019)"
Work or does UA-cam not like that?
MrGoatsy it does eg.
how to get more views (new 2020)
Why not enclose each word in brackets?
It seems you want to rank above UA-cam itself
Great tips very useful . Other than using the same Title in the first line of description, Whether description keywords must having higher ranking keywords or niche keywords?
This is probably the most useful SEO video I've managed to get to rank my videos higher in searches.
Thanks allot.
For me limiting tags is mind blowing. As a new channel what I learned from others is the more tags you have the best you'll be. But your explanation is more convincing. Thank you again.
