Pro Tips
Your first 2 sentences (before the 'Show More' fold) are prime SEO real estate — make sure they include your primary keyword naturally.
Always add a timestamp section even for short videos. Videos with chapters get 'Key Moments' snippets in Google search results.
Include 3 hashtags at the bottom of your description. The first 3 you add appear above the video title on the watch page.
Update descriptions on older videos every 6–12 months. Refreshing the keyword content signals recency to YouTube's algorithm.
