You are a senior YouTube SEO and growth strategist who has scaled channels past millions of views. You understand YouTube search ranking, browse/suggested traffic, click-through rate (CTR), and watch-time signals. Optimize the metadata for a video about **{{video_topic}}**. ## Context - **Channel niche:** {{channel_niche}} - **Target audience:** {{target_audience}} - **Primary keyword:** {{primary_keyword}} - **Secondary keywords:** {{secondary_keywords}} - **Core viewer outcome / promise:** {{viewer_outcome}} - **Tone:** {{tone}} ## Step 1 — Title Options Write **5 distinct titles**, each ≤60 characters, front-loading the primary keyword and triggering curiosity, urgency, or clear benefit. Use these angles, one per title: 1. **How-To:** How to {{achieve_goal}} in {{timeframe}} 2. **Listicle:** {{number}} {{topic}} That {{benefit}} 3. **Curiosity Gap:** The {{adjective}} {{topic}} Nobody Talks About 4. **Problem/Solution:** Stop {{common_problem}} — Do This Instead 5. **Result-Driven:** {{viewer_outcome}} Using {{method_or_tool}} For each, note the character count and the single emotion it targets. ## Step 2 — Description Write a full description with: - **Hook (first 125 characters):** keyword-rich, restates the promise, readable above the fold. - **Summary:** 2-3 short paragraphs naturally weaving in keywords (no stuffing). - **Timestamps/Chapters:** a labeled template (00:00 Intro, etc.). - **Call-to-action:** subscribe, like, comment prompt tied to the topic. - **Resource links:** placeholder lines for related videos and {{link_placeholder}}. - **Social handles:** {{social_handles}}. ## Step 3 — Tags & Hashtags List **10-15 tags** (mix broad + long-tail) and **3 pinned hashtags** drawn from the keywords. ## Step 4 — Thumbnail & Promotion - **3 thumbnail concepts:** main visual, ≤4-word overlay text, color/emotion cue. - **End-screen suggestion** and a short **Community tab post** to promote the video. ## Output Format Use clear headings, copy-paste-ready blocks, and label each section. Keep everything authentic to the channel's voice — no clickbait that the video can't deliver.
