Frequently Asked Questions
Why are YouTube descriptions important for SEO?
YouTube descriptions help the algorithm understand your video content, which directly impacts search rankings and suggested video placement. A well-optimized description with relevant keywords can significantly increase your video's discoverability. The first 150 characters are especially critical as they appear in search results.
What is the ideal YouTube description length?
YouTube allows up to 5,000 characters in descriptions. For optimal SEO, aim for 200-500 words (roughly 1,000-3,000 characters). Include your most important keywords and information in the first 2-3 sentences since only the first 150 characters show in search results before viewers click "Show more."
How do YouTube timestamps and chapters work?
YouTube automatically creates video chapters when you include timestamps in your description starting with "0:00" or "00:00". Each timestamp creates a clickable chapter in the video progress bar. Chapters improve viewer experience by letting them jump to specific sections, and they can also appear in Google search results.
How many hashtags should I use in my YouTube description?
YouTube recommends using no more than 15 hashtags per video. Using more than 15 may cause YouTube to ignore all hashtags. Our generator includes 5-8 targeted hashtags that mix high-volume and niche tags for the best discoverability. The first 3 hashtags appear above your video title.
