Open up YouTube and begin typing a search term related to your video\/topic, and YouTube will suggest keywords that viewers are looking for.<\/li><li><strong>Look at competitor YouTube channels: <\/strong>Visit a channel in your industry and look at its most popular videos. Find a competitor\u2019s video about a topic that you can also create a good video on and analyze its video metadata (e.g., title, description, video tags). This will give you inspiration for your own video\u2019s metadata and a good idea of what works well for your topic and industry.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--onyxGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tWe recommend using a combination of both approaches for a variety of different queries you can think of (that are related to your video) and continuing this process until you\u2019ve generated a solid list of terms to choose from.

Instead, here are some things we\u2019d recommend focusing on during the video creation process.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><h3\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--h3 typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tImprove your audience retention by creating good content\t<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tA video won\u2019t rank if the actual content is weak, regardless of how optimized it is for YouTube SEO.<br><br>Perhaps you\u2019ve heard the term \u201caudience retention\u201d used in other YouTube SEO articles. This is essentially how much of a video is actually watched, and it\u2019s one of the biggest YouTube SEO ranking factors. If viewers lose interest and navigate away early on, your video will struggle to rank well. Read the tips YouTube shared on analyzing your current audience retention for more information.<br><br>There are several ways to boost audience retention, with two big ones being:\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><ul class=\"lists lists__color--lightGrey lists__type--circle lists__size--default lists__align--left block-lists__lists\">\n\t<li>Summarizing your video at the beginning. This lets listeners know they\u2019ve found the right video and encourages them to continue consuming.<\/li><li>Keeping your video introductions short. Instead of rambling, keep it succinct and jump right into the content.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><h3\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--h3 typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tVoice your target keywords\t<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tVoicing your target keywords throughout your video (in a natural and unforced way) helps YouTube\u2019s algorithm better understand what your video is about. This is similar to actually including and using the target keywords in your text-based articles. And when viewers hear you say relevant keywords they\u2019ve searched, your audience retention will increase.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><h3\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--h3 typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tRemind users to leave comments\t<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tThis is another signal to YouTube\u2019s algorithm that your audience engages with your video. Verbally remind viewers to leave a comment in the actual video (ask them for their opinion on something or pose a question for them to answer) and make sure you reply to the comments that you receive.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><h3\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--h3 typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tAsk viewers to subscribe to your channel\t<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tReminding viewers to subscribe to each video can do wonders when it comes to strengthening your YouTube SEO. Similar to how it\u2019s a best practice to have strong CTAs on each webpage and in your meta descriptions, reminding viewers to take a next step is important too.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><h3\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--h3 typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tEncourage users to share your videos\t<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tMake shareability a component of your video, as this is another signal to YouTube that viewers enjoy the content.
