How to add tags to your youtube videos?
I'll be showing you how to add tags properly that will help you get more views
and rank your videos higher. So let's get started.
To add tags to your youtube videos, once you've uploaded your video on the
details page, you'll see your title and description.
Scroll down further and click on 'more options' and this is where you'll enter your tags.
Now I'm going to switch over to one of
my existing videos here and I'm going to show you my title.
You want to make sure you hit all your keywords in your title,
in your description, you want to mention your keywords at least three to five
times, especially towards the top.
Now to the tag section you want to use those keywords that you mentioned in
your title and in your description in your tags. So the first thing you're
going to type is whatever's in your title.
And once you've typed that in, now I use a chrome browser extension called vidIQ.
You may have also heard of Tubebuddy or Tubebeast.
And what this does is, it will recommend some tags for you based on what you've already typed in.
So you can click on those and add them.
Now be sure to keep on watching, because there are several ways to check which
tags to use and which tags will rank higher.
But before I do that, I'm going to remind you guys to please give this video a
Like if you found it useful and if you are new to my channel do consider
subscribing with your notification bell turned on. So if you click on
Keywords Inspector here you can type in your tags using your keywords
that you have and it will give you an overall score of
what this tag will rank at and how much it's being searched.
So you want to look for a high search volume with a low or
very low competition and it gives you an overall score.
So right now it's showing 79 out of 100 and I don't have the paid version so it
will give me three extra related keywords and tags that I can use.
You want to click the ones that have high search
volume with low competition and an overall high score.
So keep doing this using your keywords
You might get an internal server error message but that's fine. Just close it
and just keep going. And as you keep adding them if you come
on to the right side here you'll see this number will start to go up.
So right now it's showing 39.2 but it's a green color number.
Okay another thing you can do is if you click
on organize tags here, you can move some of the tags around and
put some of the different keywords on towards the top.
Click on organize tags and then and it will refresh the recommended tags.
So you may already have them or you may not have them but it's always a good idea
to do this step as well just to make sure that you've captured all the right keywords and tags
And in the recommended tags here underneath you'll notice that
if you hover over it there'll be a colored dot on it. That will tell you your competition score level.
So if it's a red one then you want to avoid it but if it's yellow or green then
definitely you should add it.
As you type your tags, vidIQ recommends lots of tags underneath so
if you just click on the icon in the tag that you've selected
that also opens up the Keyword Inspector.
Okay so I've entered all my tags in. Now I'm going to show you very quickly what it looks like.
So on the right-hand side here you'll see my SEO scoring. It tells me the vidIQ SEO score of 70.
It's a nice green number and it's a fairly high number.
Underneath it tells you the performance. Right now it's only at 25 out of 50
because the video hasn't actually even been published yet.
Hopefully once the views and rankings come in then that number will also increase.
Scroll down a little further and you'll be able to see all your video tags
along with the number that this tag will be ranked at if somebody was to do a search using those exact keywords.
And if you're really curious about where your video is ranking you can open up an incognito window
and do a search using those keywords that you put in your
tags and your video should show up in the search results.
Okay guys thank you so much for watching. All the best with your channels.
