Video SEO

This insane spike is YouTube citations in AI mode. If you haven't been taking your Instagram reels, your TikToks, your Facebook reels, and syndicating them to YouTube Shorts, this is your wake-up call.

The best thing to do is to upload it manually, but if you don't have time to do that, you can go to reusevideo com and then toggle on TikTok or Instagram reels to YouTube Shorts. Toggle it on.

That will literally make it so when you put out a video on one platform, it comes out to YouTube Shorts. When you upload anything to YouTube, use language your audience cares about.

In the title field, put in a rich description for SEO. I didn't write this, by the way.

I had ChatGPT write it. Use this prompt: here's the transcript for my video.

Give me a good title for the video. Transcript: paste your entire transcript for your video.

In this case, it's a transcript for my podcast. I got a list of great titles.

I said I'll go with this title. Write my YouTube description.

Be detailed. Add bullets, no emojis, no buzzwords...

YouTube has just become the most clicked site in Google search. If you're not investing in video, this is your wake up call.

Put the same videos out across TikTok, IG, reels, LinkedIn, and of course or see YouTube. You can use Reuse video.com to have your videos come out to each platform automatically.

Use keywords. Place your target keyword at the beginning of your YouTube title and at the beginning of your description.

If it's a short video, copy your video's transcript and use that as the rest of your description after the keyword. If it's a long video, give your transcript to ChatGPT for context and have it write the rest of your description.
