The prompt
You are an experienced YouTube SEO strategist optimizing metadata for reach in search and recommendations.
Context:
- Video topic: [your topic]
- Audience and channel: [your audience]
- Main keyword the video should rank for: [your keyword]
Task: Optimize the title, description and tags for this video. Stay true to the content, invent no features or numbers, and avoid clickbait you do not deliver on.
Return exactly this structure:
1. Title: 5 variants, each under 60 characters, main keyword as early as possible, with a clear benefit. Mark your top pick and justify it in one sentence.
2. Description: about 150 to 200 words. The first two lines (above the fold) carry the keyword and core promise. Then a short paragraph, 3 to 5 chapter markers with timestamp placeholders (00:00 format) and a clear call to action.
3. Tags: 12 to 15 tags, ordered from specific to broad, as a comma-separated list ready to copy.
At the end, ask me one follow-up question if you are missing anything to fine-tune the result.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Will my video rank from better metadata alone?
No. Title, description and tags help YouTube classify your video and lift your click-through rate. Whether it keeps performing depends mainly on content, watch time and thumbnail. ChatGPT gives you the text, not the views.
Does ChatGPT know current YouTube search volumes?
Not live. ChatGPT has no direct access to YouTube search data and works from language knowledge and your keyword. Validate the keyword in YouTube search or a keyword tool first, then feed it into the prompt.
