❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How many tags should I use for my YouTube videos?

YouTube allows up to 500 characters of tags. The sweet spot is 15-20 well-chosen tags that mix broad keywords, specific phrases, and long-tail variations. Quality matters more than quantity.

Do YouTube tags really help with SEO?

Yes! While title and description are more important, tags help YouTube understand your content and suggest it to relevant viewers. They're especially useful for commonly misspelled keywords and synonyms.

Should I use single words or phrases as tags?

Use both! Mix single-word tags (broad reach) with multi-word phrases (specific targeting). For example: "cooking" (broad) and "easy cooking for beginners" (specific).

Can I copy tags from popular videos?

You can use them as inspiration, but create your own unique tag combination. Focus on tags that accurately describe YOUR content. Misleading tags can hurt your channel's performance.

How often should I update my video tags?

Review and update tags every 3-6 months, or when you notice performance changes. Add trending keywords relevant to your content and remove underperforming tags based on your analytics.
