🌠 The Secret Lives of YouTube SEO?

Ever wake up one morning and think to yourself:

“Jeepers self, if only I could see my videos ranking higher and faster and stronger and and and!”

“…Manage and audit your channel

Always keeping an eye on your successes and failures is a natural necessity. Knowing which videos are working for your brand – and which ones aren’t – can help you understand the effect of your keywords and inform future opportunities.

YouTube Analytics (YouTube’s native tool) provides an overview of your channel. It’s accessible through your channel’s dashboard. It tells you who your audience is and what other stuff they enjoy watching. You can see the timeline of views/engagement with your audience as well. It’s made for people who already have a number of videos and want to survey their success….”

and

“…Moderate your comment section

Sometimes the comments under the most innocuous, helpful videos could be such a vile pit of rot that it’ll harm a brand in a very real way.

The YouTube comment moderation feature is probably the best tool for this task. You can add filters to automatically deal with inappropriate commenters and create a list of forbidden words to quarantine comments incorporating them.

Smart Moderation does the same thing across several platforms at once. The comments with the forbidden words aren’t just quarantined but deleted forever….”
