How to improve your YouTube SEO score
Title (35% of your score)
Keep it around 50–70 characters, put your primary keyword near the front, and add a number or power word (how, best, guide) to lift click-through. Learn more in our guide to writing titles that rank.
Description (35% of your score)
Put your keyword in the first 160 characters (that's the search snippet), write at least 500 characters, add timestamps and a call to action. Full walkthrough in our descriptions & tags guide.
Tags (30% of your score)
Use 8–15 relevant tags, lead with your exact primary keyword, and mix broad and long-tail phrases. Avoid duplicates and irrelevant trending terms.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good YouTube SEO score?
Aim for 80 or above. A score in that range means your title length and keywords, description depth, and tag mix all follow best practices that help YouTube understand and rank your video. Anything under 60 usually means your title, description, or tags are missing key optimization signals.
How is the YouTube SEO score calculated?
The score weighs your title (35%), description (35%), and tags (30%). It checks title length and power words, whether your keyword appears in the first 160 characters of the description, description depth and structure, tag count, and the mix of broad and long-tail tags — the same factors that influence YouTube search ranking.
Is this YouTube SEO checker free?
Yes, completely free and no login required. Paste your title, description, and tags and get an instant score with specific suggestions. If you want the metadata generated and optimized for you automatically, that's what TubePush does.
Does a higher SEO score guarantee more views?
No tool can guarantee views — retention and click-through rate matter too. But strong metadata is what makes your video eligible to be found in search and suggested videos in the first place. Good SEO gets you shown; a great video keeps you shown.
