Frequently Asked Questions

YouTube allows 5,000 characters for channel descriptions. However, only the first 300 characters show before 'Show more'. Front-load your most important info.

Include: who you are, what viewers get, upload schedule, primary keyword (once naturally), links to website and social, and CTA. Make it scannable with line breaks.

Include your primary keyword 1-2 times naturally in the first 2-3 sentences. Write for humans first - keyword stuffing hurts rankings. YouTube's algorithm values context over keyword density.

Yes! Include links to your website, social media, and business. YouTube allows multiple links. Updated links provide value and direct traffic where you want it.

Update when you change niches, upload schedule changes, or launch new offerings. Annual updates ensure information stays current. Outdated descriptions hurt credibility.

Use 'Subscribe for weekly updates', 'Hit the notification bell', 'Join our community', or 'Check my latest video'. Be specific about what viewers get. Clear CTAs increase subscription rates.

Similar but expanded. YouTube allows more detail than Instagram or TikTok. Include YouTube-specific info (upload schedule, content categories). Keep the core message consistent across platforms.

Be specific about viewer benefits. Instead of 'Tech videos', try 'Learn Python in 10 minutes | Daily coding tutorials | No experience required'. Specificity attracts your ideal audience.
