YouTube SEO:
found in search, not just uploaded.

Uploading a video doesn't mean people will find it. Our YouTube SEO improves the titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, chapters and captions. These decide whether YouTube and Google show your video. We also plan each video so people keep watching once they click.

What we do

YouTube SEO is setting up a channel and its videos so YouTube and Google can find, show and recommend them. The work covers titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, chapters, captions, playlists and planning videos so people keep watching. It stops at helping people find your videos. What to film, building a community and YouTube ads are on a separate page.

  1. Research into what people search for on videoSearches matched to topics and formats before a script is written, so people search for your videos.
  2. Better titles, descriptions, tags and chapters on every videoTitles that match searches, descriptions with the answer first, accurate tags and chapters on every new video.
  3. Thumbnails that win more clicksThumbnails tested against other versions, easy to read on a phone and true to the video.

Every upload, in writing

What you get
from YouTube SEO.

01

Research into what people search for on video

We start with the searches people type into YouTube and Google, before a video exists. What are they trying to learn or decide? Which format answers it best: a tutorial, a comparison or a walkthrough? We match topics to titles before any script is written. So your channel is built for people searching, not just for your current followers.

First
02

Better titles, descriptions, tags and chapters on every video

Titles match how people search, not how your team talks inside the business. Descriptions put the answer and the right keywords first. Tags describe the topic accurately. Chapters mark the moment a question gets answered. We do this for every new video, not once for your old ones.

Ongoing
03

Thumbnails that win more clicks

The title gets your video seen, and the thumbnail gets the click. We test thumbnails against other versions. We check they are easy to read on a phone. And we keep them true to the video. A misleading image may win a click, but people stop watching fast. YouTube notices that too.

Ongoing
04

Videos planned so people keep watching

We plan length, pace and the first fifteen seconds around where viewers stop watching. Watch time and how long people stay are what YouTube weighs most when it decides who to recommend a video to. So we set the structure before filming, instead of patching it in the edit.

Per video
05

Playlists, channel set-up and captions

Playlists are grouped by search topic, not upload date. Your channel description and sections say clearly what the channel covers. We upload closed captions rather than relying on auto-captions alone. Captions help people who can't hear the sound, and give search systems a clean transcript to read.

Ongoing
How it starts

From the first check to videos
people find, one by one.

01
Start

Brief and a call

We sign an NDA. Then we talk through your channel, the videos you have published and the searches you want to be found for.

02
Once the brief is complete

Audit and itemised proposal

We check the channel and every published video. Then we confirm when your proposal arrives. It has a topic plan and the priced fixes worth making first.

03
Your decision

You sign off

You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing changes on the channel before this.

04
Typically 2 to 3 business days later

The work starts

We rewrite titles, descriptions, tags and chapters on the videos with the most to gain. We test thumbnails and upload closed captions on those videos.

05
Every month after

Structure, test, report

New videos are planned from the topic plan, and we keep testing thumbnails. A monthly report links changes in search results to the videos behind them.

Inside Prism

Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.

Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.

Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, your search programme runs in a workspace you log into: the fix queue, the content queue, approvals and the weekly review, with each decision written down as it is made.

Proof

We build the search groundwork
before a title is written.

Store, search and paid media

Al Majed for Oud: a fragrance catalogue online in two languages.

This published case has no YouTube work, and we claim none here. What it shows is the search groundwork video SEO needs too. The store moved platforms with its products and order history intact. Its search presence was rebuilt on what buyers really search, not guesswork. Weekly reports were tied to revenue. Revenue grew 340% in seven months. YouTube SEO with us starts the same way: we map topics and searches before a single title is written.

One video, in order

How a video is made findable,
from query to report.

Uploading a video doesn't mean people will find it. We start from the search before a script exists. We stop at helping people find the video. What to film, community growth and ads sit with YouTube Marketing.

  1. 01Start from the searchWe look at what people type into YouTube and Google and what they want to learn or decide. Then we pick the format that answers it: a tutorial, a comparison or a walkthrough. The topic gets a title before a script is written.
  2. 02Check that video is the right formatSome searches are better answered by a page. The audit says so plainly. When this runs alongside your SEO, the video and the page follow the same topic plan.
  3. 03Structure it before filmingWe plan length, pace and the first fifteen seconds around where viewers stop watching. Watch time counts most when YouTube decides what to recommend.
  4. 04Publish it with full titles, tags and captionsThe title matches how people search, and the description puts the answer first. Tags are accurate, and chapters mark the moment the question is answered. Captions are uploaded, not left to auto-captions.
  5. 05Test the thumbnail, then reportWe test thumbnails against other versions, and check they are easy to read on a phone and true to the video. The monthly report links search results to each video, not to a view count.

YouTube and Google decide views, subscribers and rankings. So the contract covers the work we do, not a number.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Often, yes. Google shows YouTube videos in search results and AI answers when a video answers better than a page would, such as a visual how-to. Accurate titles, descriptions and uploaded captions make that more likely. We don't promise a set Google ranking. The audit says whether video is the right format for each search.

It's narrow on purpose. This page covers helping people find your current and planned videos. That means titles and descriptions, thumbnails, keeping viewers watching, playlists and captions. What to film, community building, creators and YouTube ads are on our YouTube Marketing page. Other specialists in the same team run that work.

No, and no honest YouTube SEO expert does. Both platforms weigh how viewers behave as well as titles and tags. That means watch time, how long people stay and how often they click. Nobody outside them controls the algorithm. We commit to the work we control. You get researched titles and descriptions, tested thumbnails and videos planned to hold viewers. You also get full captions and organised playlists. We report on search results and watch-time trends.

Both, and they work together. Captions help deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers and anyone watching with the sound off. They also give search systems an accurate transcript instead of a guess from auto-captions. We upload proper captions on every video we work on.

No, it takes your search work to a format it doesn't cover yet. Technical SEO and content strategy keep your website in order. This uses the same thinking about searches for your channel and its videos. Run together, your videos and pages follow one topic plan instead of two separate ones.

It depends on how many videos we work on. It also depends on whether your old videos need fixing or only new uploads need work. Every proposal lists each thing you get: research, titles and descriptions, thumbnails, captions, playlists and reports. So you can compare like with like.

aren't the ones people find.
