ConsultEase’s Hidden Weapon: YouTube SEO

YouTube is a big search engine, not just some ordinary website. Therefore if you are going to succeed on YouTube, your videos have to rank! It’s that simple and a little more 🙂

Actually, It is through this way that we helped ConsultEase to rank their channel on YouTube very fast.

Keyword: “gst on real estate”

Keyword: “GST Registration Process in Hindi”

Now, we’re going to jump into the discussion, where I show you,

How ConsultEase Applied VOCSO’s Advice

Step #1: Look For Untapped Video Keywords

At YouTube, keywords are of great importance. Make sure to choose the proper keywords. If you do this well, youtube will have one more place to look for to identify the right audience to show your video for. Choose inappropriate keywords and you reduce your chances of reaching more audience. Back then, ConsultEase didn’t take out time to do some real keyword research.

Even though they made very professional and highly impactful videos, yet the videos could not see good traction.

So what was the challenge?

It’s simple, the videos were not optimized around keywords ( tags ) that people mostly search for.

Comparing these to the videos made after SEO optimization, you notice an exponential increase in the number of views.

The only difference to keep in mind here is Keywords. I’m not saying, keywords are everything, but they place their role well enough.

As it’s obvious from the results, the former were not optimized around the right keywords, the later were.

a) Create A List Of Seed Keywords

Seed keywords are concepts that define super broad topics. They are the base Keywords for SEO, and they do not eliminate competition.

Hence, you cannot optimize any of your videos around these keywords.

However, getting a list of Seed Keywords will prove helpful.

Examples of Seed Keywords for a fitness site are

1. Paleo diet
2. Fat loss
3. Cardio workout
4. Kettlebell workout

For a marketing site it would be

1. Content marketing
2. Social media
3. Facebook page
4. LinkedIn marketing

For ConsultEase, we identified these to be our seed keywords:

1. GST Registration
2. GST Returns
3. GST Updates
4. Learn GST
5. GST Softwares, etc.

Change The Seed Keywords into Many Long-tail Keywords:

How?

The Next thing to do is

What you want to do is to optimize your videos around keywords, which gets myriads of searches and are not so competitive.

How then do you locate this amazing keywords?

ConsultEase applied a par excellent chrome extension by name Tubebuddy.

Tubebuddy gives you an elucidate statistics of every keyword in the search results.

That way, you are aware of every competitive keyword.

So now you have analyzed and collated your keywords.

Now, make the video.

Step #2: Create Videos, Which Are Optimized For Watch Time

If you have to name one important factor that will drive youtube’s love to your channel and videos, it will watchtime. It is through this method that ConsultEase boosted their watch time to 61%.

First off, you have to understand that YouTube has the singular aim of keeping people on YouTube. That way they can get to make more money from ads.

Consequently, for this reason, YouTube algorithm bestows a lot of importance on watch time.

I’ll explain it for those of you who are wondering what exactly watch time is.

Watch Time is the full time taken to watch a YouTube video since its start.

YouTube likes videos that boast a lot of watch time.

Infact YouTube has gone ahead to reveal, that videos and channels with a lot of watch time are more likely to rank higher in search results and recommend it to more and more viewers.

Simply put, the longer people watch your videos, the higher they will spread.
So how can you create a video that people won’t stop watching?

These are the Five Fundamental Steps, which ConsultEase took to boost their average watch time by 61%.

1. They Made Longer Videos

It doesn’t matter what the so-called experts tell you, I have found out by practical means that long videos perform a lot better than short videos.

Last year, in the largest YouTube ranking factor, we discovered that long videos ranked higher than the short videos on the average level.

ConsultEase started out with shorter videos that always laid fallow.

However, since they started to publish longer videos, the videos have racked up more watch time and by extension, more ranking.

2. They Cut Out The Superfluous Introductions To The Videos

The first 15 seconds of your video is very instrumental, according to YouTube. Your video has to catch your viewers attention in the first fifteen seconds, it’s that simple. Your intro should preview what your watcher will learn in Simple and clear terms. Back then, ConsultEase spent a lot of time on making redundant intros.

However right now, their intros are sharp previews, which help to keep the attention of viewers.

3. They Integrated “Pattern Interrupts” In Their Videos

If you wish for people to watch your videos all the way to the end, then you have to add pattern interrupts.

This strategy works so well, more like magic.
Pattern interrupts are the major reasons for the increase of ConsultEase’s watch time.

You might be wondering what pattern interrupts are?

Pattern interrupts are simply elements, which you incorporate into your videos that are different from the rest of the video.

They can be on-screen graphics, sound effects, Broll, animations, different camera angles, they can even be new background and settings etc.

This makes your videos not to be static. The dynamic nature of videos with pattern interrupts help to keep the attention of your watchers and this is seen with ConsultEase. When they started to incorporate pattern interrupts, they advanced their watch time by a solid, 2minutes and 11seconds. A phenomenal 61% increase.

4. They Scripted Each Line

This quality preparation Does not fail to yield quality delivery.
It’s important for you to script out whatever you want to discuss before you commence.
Don’t just jump in the video and start rattling, otherwise your video will be filled with a lot of incoherent rubbish. As was the case with ConsultEase, back in the days.

Carefully outline your script and the pattern, which you want your video to take before you begin to shoot. This will give your videos a major quality, making your delivery flawless.

5. Consultease Evaluated What Was Already Working

The strategies I discussed above are applicable anywhere.

However, there is no gainsaying that every niche has its peculiar challenges.

Therefore, before you conclude your script. Check out what’s already proven and working well.
It’s simple to ascertain this, analyze the top 3 ranking videos of your keyword and check out what qualities they have in common.

A typical example is when you type in the keywords “social media marketing” in youtube search bar. The top three results that show up have all these in common.

They cited a lot of examples

i. Two are less than ten minutes one is 22minutes and also ranks highest.
ii. Instagram, influencer marketing, mobile first and live video were all cited in the videos.
iii. Two of the videos stress that the tips are for the current year.

You just have to integrate these proven facts in your own videos.

That’s exactly what ConsultEase did.

Step #3: Optimize Your YouTube Videos

1. First Off, ConsultEase Keyword-optimized The Titles Of Their Videos

Studies show that there is a feeble relationship between titles that are rich in Keywords and rankings.

So you should keep in mind that keyword optimized titles are not extremely useful.

That does not also mean that keyword optimized titles are totally useless.
Infact when ConsultEase began to make use of Keyword-rich titles their views stepped up.

2. Secondly, They Chose Titles That Were Made To Maximize CTR

Research has shown the click-through-rates help to make your videos rank. This is because CTR is one of the algorithms that youtube employ to promote videos.

The more the number of clicks people make on your video, the more likely it is YouTube will promote it, it’s that simple.

One of the most effective ways to get a lot of clicks is to use power words.
Power words are words that inspire people to click on your video. Words such as powerful, proven, awesome, excellent, effective, hack, guide, technique etc.

3. They Used Video Descriptions That Are Seo-friendly And Keyword-rich

YouTube recommends that you use long descriptions for your videos, else you will miss a lot of views. And also YouTube recommends that you should include important keywords in the beginning of your description.

It’s also important that you should write a compelling and SEO-friendly description, to make your video snippet to click on.

These are the basic tactics we have used for YouTube video’s description to boost Consultease’s Ranking.

Make sure to write a full description for each video you publish.

4. Consultease Optimized Their Video Tags

It is no news that keywords optimized tags are more than necessary. ConsultEase uses 3-5 tags, which involve their target Keywords and those within close range.

Thereafter, they fire up TubeBuddy.

Typing their target Keywords into the tag explorer box. And then applies any relevant Keywords that TubeBuddy brings.

Final step is to spy on your competitor’s video tags. This step is also crucial as it helps your videos rank with your competitors videos. Your videos also pop out next to that of competitors as suggested videos.

5. Make Use Of Outstanding Thumbnails

Thumbnails are important. This is also one of the reasons why ConsultEase videos did not rank initially. However, when they stepped up there thumbnails everything changed for good.

YouTube recommends a custom thumbnail, as 90% of the videos that rank high on YouTube use custom thumbnails.

6. Create And Boost Optimized Playlists

Most times YouTubers don’t pay attention to playlists. However, they do help to get more views and subscribers.

How does this happen?

Playlists shoot up your session time. You might be wondering what session time is? Session time is the length of time people spend on YouTube after they begin to watch your videos.

Session time is also a critical factor in ranking.

For example, if someone closes their browser right after watching your video, you session time reduces and your video gets demoted.

Conversely, if someone watches more videos after yours, your session time increases and your video ranks.

This is the importance of playlists, once someone finishes with your video another video starts to play automatically.

This is also why youtube makes their videos into playlists.
