If you’ve spent a lot of time creating a YouTube video, then you want to make sure it can be found by as many viewers as possible. Fortunately, Enhance Your YouTube Video Visibility are a few tricks that can help you get the most out of your video content.
How do I increase the visibility of my YouTube video?
Start by conducting research with a video SEO tool (like TubeBuddy or vidIQ). Identify keywords that are relevant to your videos, then optimize the content and metadata of your videos for these words.
Video titles are a critical element of a video’s metadata, and should include your keyword in a natural way. A descriptive and compelling video description is also important for YouTube searchers. Adding keywords in the video description allows you to show up for searches in related videos, called “suggested videos.”
Use an eye-catching thumbnail image that entices viewers to click your video in YouTube’s search results. Use a free online tool like Canva to create a high-quality thumbnail image that is 1280 x 720 pixels—the minimum size for YouTube thumbnails.
Encourage your viewers to subscribe to your channel and share your videos with their friends and followers. This sends a quality signal to YouTube and helps your videos rank well. Asking viewers to comment and give a “thumbs up” is another way to boost engagement, which in turn improves your video’s visibility.
