One of the best-kept secrets on youtube is that you can actually add youtube channel keywords on your channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, it’s shocking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As YouTubers, it is already a constant battle to get our videos to rank in search or get pushed out on the home feed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is anything we can do to better our chances then we definitely should be jumping on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when I found out that the majority of my youtube friends on Discord actually had no idea that channel tags were a thing<\/strong>, I had to share the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I am going to show you exactly how to find good tags for your channel and how to add channel keywords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youtube SEO: What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If words like “keywords<\/strong>” and “tags<\/strong>” sound unfamiliar to you then you probably haven’t heard about youtube SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people forget that Youtube is more than just a social network<\/strong> where your favorite influencers hang out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a powerful video search engine<\/strong> that gets millions of searches every single day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So SEO (Search Engine Optimization)<\/a> is simply the process of optimizing your content so that it will rank and show up more often in search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In doing so, it will start to build up some views<\/strong> and hopefully lead to a higher CTR and watch retention. Which in return, will trigger the algorithm to push your videos ou<\/strong>t into the browse page and suggested feed for the viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 5 major parts to youtube SEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Video titles<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Video description<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Scripting<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Video tags<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Chapters\/ Timestamps<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Channel tags<\/strong> are actually one of the components that YouTubers overlook and forget the most. Hence why we are going to tackle it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I highly suggest you read my full Youtube SEO guide<\/a> so that you can see how to do his on your channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What Are Youtube Channel Keywords?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When a viewer enters a keyword into the youtube search engine, there are various search results that can pop up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can get video suggestions and playlists. But you can also get channel suggestions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you get a channel in the search feed, that is because that channel has added the right channel keywords to be able to rank in search. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This system of ranking your channel works best for channels that have a certain niche or role that they play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, one of my channel tags is “youtube SEO”<\/strong> because I talk a lot about that topic. However, you can even have keywords like “day in the life of<\/strong>” or “reactions<\/strong>” if that is the form of content that you mainly create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These keywords can easily be added into your youtube settings<\/strong> which we are going to go through next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Youtube Channel Keywords for Your Brand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Another reason why having channel keywords is important is for your own channel name and brand <\/strong>to be able to show up when people search for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are thousands of youtube channels on the platform and you are bound to find some that have very similar names<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So in order to stand out from the crowd, you need to add your own channel name as a keyword as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, I added the keywords “minded marketing<\/strong>” and “the minded marketing” <\/strong>to ensure that anyone that is looking for me will be more likely to find me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Get Keywords on Your Youtube Channel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
