How it works
Three steps to a description that ranks.
Describe the video
The topic or payoff in one sentence.
Pick a tone
Ten tones, from professional to witty.
Copy & paste
Each version includes hook, keywords, timestamps placeholder and hashtags.
The first two lines
Viewers only read the first 100 characters.
YouTube shows just the first 1–2 lines of your description in search results and above the fold. Put the hook and your main keyword there — not "hey guys welcome back". The rest of the description is for the algorithm: keyword-rich paragraphs that tell YouTube exactly what the video covers, so it lands in the right search results and suggested feeds.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
What should a YouTube description include?
A hook paragraph, 2–3 keyword-rich paragraphs describing the video, timestamps, and 5–8 hashtags. The first 1–2 lines matter most — they show in search results.
Do descriptions help YouTube SEO?
Yes — the description is one of the few places YouTube reads to understand your video's topic. Natural keyword use helps search; keyword stuffing does not.
How long should a description be?
Aim for 150–300 words for most videos. Front-load the important part: viewers only see the first 100 or so characters before clicking "show more".
