Similar to website pages, YouTube videos include a Title and Description to feature them in search results. These metadata are not only helpful for Google Search but also for YouTube’s in-built ranking system.
Simply put a clear and compelling description with relevant keywords can boost the visibility of your videos.
That said, a poorly written description often puts off potential viewers without giving them a clear overview of what the video is about. If crafting the most compelling video description seems a daunting task for you, then fortunately, Content AI is here to craft the most relevant description for your videos in just a few clicks.
In this knowledgebase article, we will show you how to create a YouTube video description with Content AI.
