Frequently Asked Questions
Good titles are clear, specific, and include primary keywords. They create curiosity without being clickbait. Front-load keywords and numbers (like 5, 10) which boost clicks. Titles around 50-60 characters perform best.
Very important! YouTube's algorithm heavily weights title keywords. Include your primary keyword in the first 50 characters. However, maintain clarity - never sacrifice readability for keywords.
Avoid pure clickbait, but use curiosity strategically. Titles that intrigue (like 'The Secret YouTube Never Shares') combined with actual value outperform generic titles. Match content to title to avoid high bounce rates.
Keep titles under 60 characters to avoid truncation in search results. YouTube allows 100 characters, but shorter titles have higher CTR. Front-load your most important information.
Power words trigger emotions and curiosity: 'Ultimate', 'Best', 'Secret', 'Never', 'Proven', 'Why', 'How', 'New'. Use them authentically. A title like 'The Ultimate Guide to X' outperforms 'X Tips'.
Yes! Titles with numbers get 36% higher CTR than those without. Use specific numbers: 'Top 5 Mistakes' outperforms 'Top Mistakes'. Odd numbers (5, 7, 9) typically perform better than even numbers.
YouTube doesn't allow title editing after publish, but you can test new titles by uploading variations as unlisted and checking click rates. Use YouTube's Rich Results feature to see how titles display.
Yes, but sparingly. Brand names at the end of titles (like 'Best Software - TechBrand Reviews') work well. Putting brand first wastes valuable keyword real estate. Use brand names only when they add search value.
