In seven and a half months, we’ve focused our efforts on YouTube SEO and ranked our videos for some of our industry’s most

  • competitive keywords. SEO,
  • e-commerce SEO,
  • local SEO,
  • SEO indicators

and the list goes on. As a result, YouTube search traffic and growing rates increased by almost 400%. Our channel is not too big. Our industry is also not “exciting” at all. And compared to our top YouTube rivals, our users are microscopic. But that’s what I like about YouTube. Anyone and everyone has the chance to entertain, engage and rate their videos. So in this video, I’ll show you exactly how to rank YouTube videos from start to finish. get in touch. How about the

 

creators? Sam Oh here with Ahrefs, an SEO tool that helps you increase your search traffic, research your competitors and dominate your position. Video is now a lot in SEO, so instead of trying to dive into every single traffic source in YouTube Analytics, I will focus on ranking in YouTube search and sprinkling some tips for ranking my videos on Google as well. Will Let’s begin.

 

what is YouTube SEO?

First of all, what is YouTube SEO? This is the process of ranking YouTube organic search results for a given search query to better rank your videos, playlists, and channels. YouTube explains their discovery and looks for the ranking algorithm in two sentences.

Ranking  video 

How well the

title, description, & video content match the viewer’s query.

 

three key points important

  • you need to match the visitor’s query
  • keywords matter in your title and description.
  • You need to run questions about engagement.

“So here are three key points. First,

keywords matter in your title and description. Second, you need to match the visitor’s query with the intent of the search. And third, you need to rank on YouTube. You need to run questions about engagement. But out of all these things, the key to effective video SEO is to create high engagement videos. So if you can’t engage your audience, meaningful Your chances of rating your YouTube videos with words will be minimal,

youtube keyword Research

so the first step is to do a youtube keyword Research. Unlike traditional Google search engine optimization, YouTube does not have an official keyword investigation tool, and many of these third-party tools are just pulling arbitrary numbers from Google’s Word Planner – but there are ways you can evaluate. The first thing you need to do is use

  • YouTube to suggest
  • Google Trends

YouTube to suggest pairing with Google Trends. Just type a keyword in the search bar, and you’ll see a list of related questions. It contains your keywords.

 

You can likewise include a star previously or after your objective watchword, which will go about as a “wildcard.”YouTube Tips in Google Trends. Be that as it may, recollect,

Google Trends

Google Trends utilizes “relative prominence” to look at watchwords. So think about these evaluations while taking other factors into consideration. Ahrefs approach to get catchphrase volumes is to utilize the Keyword Explorer. As of late, we discharged our most recent rendition of Keyword Explorer, which incorporates measurements for web crawlers and web search tools like

  • Google,
  • YouTube,
  • Bing,
  • Amazon,
  • Baidu,

and more. Just select YouTube as a search engine and enter a keyword or keyword list. Right now, you’ll have access to country-related search volume, clicks data, global search volume, and five keyword reports. You can also enter a list of up to 10,000 keywords that you want to analyze. The best way to get a list of keywords is to use a

chrome-extension

  • Tube Buddy 
  • vidiq.

 

chrome-extension of Tube Buddy or Video. Just search on YouTube, and look at the right sidebar. You will see the “Related vidiq” section of the Wiki or the “Most Used Tags” section of Tubebeds. Just select all the relevant keywords you want to analyze, click the Copy button, and paste your list into Keyword Explorer. We will then show you all keywords that contain YouTube search volume according to our database. Now, search volumes are many, but the power of Keyword Explorer is to generate new keyword ideas. We say you want to get started

 

A channel on makeup tutorials. Just type “makeup” in Keyword Explorer. And I’ll also add several common variations, like makeup and makeup. Then go to the FreesMatch report, which lists all the keywords in your database that contain your badge keywords. And you’ll see more than 202,000 keyword ideas! Let’s focus on a few more focused topics. So I click on the “Add” drop-down and type in the keyword list for it like Eye, Face, Halloween, Wedding and Brides. Finally, select the “Any words” tab, which will show us all keywords that contain any of these keywords. And we have over 17,000 related topics for creating videos.

Bottom line: Good keyword ideas aren’t lacking. We have an in-depth video on YouTube word research, so I’ll leave a link to it in detail. Now, YouTube search is great, but why not maximize your views by rating your videos on Google as well? Isn’t that important? Think again.

Google Search

Google Search is one of our top external traffic sources and over the last 28 days, we have been sent 7,400 views. In addition, a study by GetStatet shows that video SERP features increased by nearly 75 percent in 2017 for their sample keyword list. Now in 2019, it’s hard to browse Google for more than ten minutes without seeing the video’s result. There are a few ways to find videos

search traffic from Google

Get search traffic from Google The first is to find your keywords. If you see a video carousel or another video SERP feature, you will also have the opportunity to rank in this position. Focus on the video’s length and titles to get an idea of what Google wants to show. Another way is to use

Content Explorer,

Content Explorer, which lets you search for any word or phrase and get pages related to their SEO and social scale. To find YouTube videos that rank in Google, I’ll search the site: youtube.com inurl: See Title: Inboxing, assuming I want to find the same topic. Then, I sort the results by search traffic and you can instantly see the number of Google search traffic these videos have each month, as well as the titles, descriptions and social stats. Once you find a video that interests you, click the Details button, and then the Organic Words tab, where you’ll be able to see all keywords and ranking positions for the video on Google. Double-sink your traffic sources and get more views on your videos by searching both Google and YouTube Search. Well,

 

identify the intent

  • Search inches (or keywords intended)

the second step is to identify the intent of the search. Search inches (or keywords intended) are the reason a user searches for a query in the search engine. Now, search engines are generally good at doing so Just search for the keywords you want to rank on YouTube and analyze the content and angle of

 

the top 3 results. For example,

the top 3 results. For example, if you want to teach people how to build a website, you might want to give them a step-by-step tutorial. YouTube agrees. But if you want to rate “Nintendo Switch Games” YouTube will tell you that people want to watch the “Listing Type” video. Now, we say that you are a flower maker and you want to give the status of “viola”. The bad idea is that all the results indicate that someone searching for this term wants to know about the device.

YouTube SEO: How to Rank Your Videos #1

Not a plant or an actress. Let’s move on to Step 3, which is the most important. And that is to fulfill the intent of the search with a high retention video. YouTube says their goal is to help viewers find the videos they want to watch and maximize long-term viewer engagement and satisfaction. And if you’re compatible with user queries, you’re more likely to see more time for your video. The only steps we take to create high retention videos are: First, plan your videos before making them. If you are making a video, the last thing you want to do is stumble upon your words or show sloppy demonstrations. Proper planning helps to put your thoughts on value and benefits you

 

Include the keywords in your video intentionally, which people think YouTube uses in their ranking algorithms. Second, you need to start with a strong hook. The first 10-15 seconds are the key to your video success. Shout out to your readers, and you’ll have an audience retention graph that looks like this. Before you have a chance to deliver value, drop the hook and lose the majority of your audience. Each niche is unique and, unfortunately, not a formula that works for everyone. Being in a knowledgeable and informative space for a B2B audience, I want to start with stats or proofs so that your time is worth watching. Like this video on YouTube SEO, I started by showing you how we rank a lot of competing keywords in point. I also showed you that our search traffic increased by about 400 400%. And most importantly, let me tell you that I will show you the exact steps we used so that you can try and replicate our results. Drop-offs are inevitable in the first 15 seconds. But you can minimize this loss by connecting to your audience to see and see if you have a solution to this problem. Third, you need to strategically edit your videos. For each video we make, our focus is not to impress you with cool tricks. We care about that

 

Mangani. So instead of going through a full out tutorial, I’ll leave you with some power tips. First, use the jump kit. A jump cut is a transition between two shots from the same position. This creates the effect of “jumping” in this scene, hence, the name, “jump cut.” Second, draw the attention of your audience to what you want to see. Pay attention also for a second. If you have never used our Site Explorer tool before, and I say something like this: “Click Linked Domains Report.” Have you seen it maybe not. But I can easily draw this, this, this, or this, by reporting the domains associated with your eyes. No need to like the effects, but they help your audience avoid the drop-off due to confusion. The last hint is to have fun with stories or stories. YouTube is a fun platform. But having fun is not easy. So while our main focus is on teaching SEO and marketing, we try our best to make it something fun without being overly fun. If you’ve seen it here, then you’ve probably seen some examples, so I won’t go into it any further. We have a whole video on the workflow that we use to edit our videos for YouTube, so I highly recommend watching it, which I will link. Well, step 3 is to video on the page

 

Correction. Optimizing the page for YouTube brings 4 things: We have titles, descriptions, tags and thumbnails. Each of these gives context to your video and / or affects your bottom line: clickthrough rate. Finally, no clicks = no views. According to YouTube, here are some best practices for producing searchable and searchable videos. Type 1 is to use your keywords in the title. YouTube recommends finding the most keywords in your titles and descriptions as long as they are accurate or not. More. A Bergsby study also shows that over 90 top-ranked videos also include at least part of the target keywords in their titles. Although it seems necessary to include at least partial matches of your target keyword in your title, you do not want to sacrifice its “click ability”. Tip 2 Make your headlines less than 60 characters. YouTube advises you to put your titles in front of the most important information. From an SEO perspective, this often means using your target keywords near the start of your title. For example, our target keyword for this video is YouTube SEO. And you’ll see that we’ve already included this phrase. Keeping your headlines short is also preventing clicks from being found, suggested or browsed by features.

 

Will Tip 3 is to write

Will Tip 3 is to write Exciting topics that evoke curiosity or highlight an advantage. If you used to create a tutorial on the tie, the keyword might be, “How to tie a tie.” But it’s not much more interesting. Here you can find many angles.

  • Take a tie like: “007 technique
  • “How to tie a flat in 11 seconds
  • my 3-year-old teaches you how to tie a tie.

Take a tie like: “007 technique” with a tie; “How to tie a flat in 11 seconds to my 3-year-old teaches you how to tie a tie. The point is that boring titles stand in the competitive landscape.

Tip 4 is to create a thumbnail that fits your title.

Tip 4 is to create a thumbnail that fits your title. In my opinion, this is the most difficult video of our SEO errors here is the thumbnail. Video in thumbnail text Is defined as the majority is 90. And if you look closely, there is a picture of the Google page number that says, “Here you are. “You can likewise be roused by the things around you and utilize your creative mind to talk the unbelievable realities like our recordings,” to what extent it takes to rank on Google. “Furthermore, in case you’re trapped, get thoughts from Google, photographs or stock photographs. For instance, I scanned for the word” framework “in Adobe Stock and was dazzled with this picture. Your third party referencing framework used to make your own thumbnail for video however cooler – the following video improvement tip is to compose an accessible depiction.

YouTube says “ht utilizing the apparatus” catchphrases increment perspectives and watches. Can do Because those helpers show your videos in search results. But what are the “correct” keywords? For starters, we include our target keyword in both

title and description. But we also include relevant keywords that analyze the definition of high ranking videos. Just type in the keywords you want to categorize, then look for keywords that match your title. For example, this video uses language such as “free traffic” and talks about traffic in the blog text. Another phrase used is “Increase website traffic”. It could be keywords that I want to include in my description or other closely related keywords where my video matches the content.

 

There are tags

There are tags ahead. And tags are another way to contextualize your video, which can help you rank in YouTube Search and Recommended. YouTube makes it easy by recommending highly specific keywords and keywords for your video. You can also use tools like

And as an extra step, I usually copy all the tags from advanced videos and paste them into the keyword’s keyword explorer to view the search. Volume on these tags.

Step 4 Video Optimization.

Step 4 Video Optimization. Video making is 80% of the battle. There are additional improvements you can make to increase retention rates and create a user experience for your audience. The first thing is to add subtitles or closed captions. Many creators, including myself, believe that YouTube reads closed captions to better understand the context of the videos. And chances are, your audience comes from all over the world with a different native language. So it’s worth using the transcription service or if your videos are scripts just go to the cc tab of your video, select your language, and create your closed caption file. To give you an idea, approximately 17% of our viewers use English subtitles when watching our videos. The second thing is to

add a card to your video.

add a card to your video. It’s an interactive feature that encourages viewers to perform one of these 5 actions. Just select the time code where you want to

activate the card,

activate the card, select the card you want to use, select the appropriate option, and you’re all set. Now, when a viewer hits the time code, the video’s title will slide as a suggestion. Finally, use the closing screens. The closing screens are the same as the cards. The goal is to keep viewers on the YouTube platform. For our channel, we have one A suggested video viewer should watch next, along with a subscribe button. This can help you get more subscribers, curators to use your content, and an ounce of ureteric metric, which is used during session time. I’ll expand on that a bit later. Now,

let’s move on to Step 5,

  • which wants to publish

let’s move on to Step 5, which wants to publish and promote your video. You need to promote your video as a hit 24-48 hours before posting or breaking your video. Firewire tips, first, grow your existing audience. Regarding the cover, we post on Wednesday at 8 am Eastern Time. Then we use the Up Alert to notify our customers about a new piece we created. We tweet our video link, which sends us more viewers directly to our video. And of course, we send our blog 24 hours straight after the video view. Now, if you don’t have an existing audience, here are some things you should post on related forums like Aura. Just find the title of your video,

The point is to hang your audience wherever you have to be involved. At least not on YouTube ads. YouTube ads are very cheap from our experience right now. You can target by interest, keyword, or custom. If you have a great video, configure some of your target word based sources. To subscribe to them … As your subscriber base grows, they will become aware of your future videos and will accelerate your growth without breaking the bank. The last and final step is to improve your videos for session watch time. The session is a time of watch time. A watcher watches recordings on YouTube SEO without leaving the stage. YouTube SEO says in its maker blog: “We have started modifying the positioning of the recordings remembered for YouTube Search so they can be acclimated to watch the video. About our included highlights, The channel will profit if your recordings take more time to watch on YouTube SEO . “Here are some different approaches to improve the session time.

 

First, prepare the series. Think of a series like or 490 episodes. The series attracts people. And if they like something they like, they keep watching, which adds to your total session watch time. We have created a total of 3 series. One on Word Research and one on Link Building and another on WordPress SEO. The first two were made. WordPress SEO series, to educate your customers

Had to rank. And the rank we did. To encourage viewers to watch the next video in the series, add it as a closing screen or add a card to the next video near the end. This will make it easier for viewers to find the next video in your series. Now, the next part is where the magic happens.

And that is to convert your website to a series menu. A playlist is a list of videos that play sequentially. While a series playlist is everything I’ve just said, it’s also a creative way to let YouTube SEO know that your group of videos is an “official” list of videos. Think about how Netflix works with the seasons and episodes of your favorite shows.

They are in a special order and it might not be a good idea to skip a few episodes. The use of series playlists helps YouTube SEO understand the order and increases the likelihood of a “next place” claim.
