Optimizes YouTube videos for search by generating titles under 60 characters with keywords front-loaded, descriptions that work as meta snippets in the first 160 characters, relevant tags, and thumbnail composition guidance. The skill treats title, description, and thumbnail as an interconnected system rather than separate fields. It's worth using because Google now prioritizes YouTube in search results and YouTube videos make up a huge chunk of citations in AI Overviews, so the SEO game has shifted. The output is structured and repeatable, which helps if you're running a channel systematically rather than guessing what might work.

Guides YouTube video and channel optimization for search and discovery. Google now prioritizes YouTube video results in search; YouTube + Reddit comprise ~78% of social media citations in AI Overviews. Title, description, and thumbnail form an interconnected system; channels using systematic keyword strategies see 156% longer view durations, 89% better CTR, and 312% higher search discovery. Use this skill when optimizing videos for YouTube search, Google search, and AI citation. For website-embedded video SEO, see video-optimization.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment
