YouTube Description Tips
Keyword early, written naturally
Use your main keyword once in the first sentence. Do not repeat it again and again; YouTube can treat that as spam.
Chapter rules
Start at 0:00, have at least 3 chapters, and keep each chapter at least 10 seconds long.
Pair it with good tags
Description first, tags second. Get ideas with our YouTube tag generator and hashtag generator.
Track your links
Add UTM tags to your website link so you can see YouTube visitors in Google Analytics. Use our UTM builder.
Make it your own

Save a default
Links and the subscribe line rarely change. Save them in YouTube Studio's upload defaults to save time.
