Description Best Practices

  • First 150 characters are crucial - they appear in search results

  • Add timestamps to improve viewer experience and SEO
  • Include relevant links (social media, website, related videos)
  • Use 3-5 hashtags at the end for additional discoverability

Description Generator FAQ

YouTube allows up to 5,000 characters in descriptions. For optimal SEO, aim for at least 200-300 words. The first 150 characters are most important as they appear in search results. Include keywords naturally, add timestamps for longer videos, and always include relevant links and a call-to-action.

A complete description should include: a compelling hook with your main keyword, a summary of what viewers will learn, timestamps/chapters for navigation, links to your social media and website, a call-to-action (subscribe, like, comment), and 3-5 relevant hashtags at the end.

Timestamps create video chapters that improve viewer experience by allowing navigation to specific sections. They can also appear in Google search results as "key moments," giving your video more visibility. Use the format "0:00 - Introduction" for YouTube to recognize them automatically.

While you can use a template for consistent branding (like your channel links and social media), each video should have a unique description that specifically describes that video's content. Duplicate descriptions across videos can hurt your SEO and provide less value to viewers.
