Description Best Practices, Built Right In

A strong description hooks in the first lines, uses keywords naturally, and gives YouTube context. vidIQ builds all of that into every result.

Front-load your hook

Only the first 2–3 lines show before 'Show More.' Lead with the most compelling reason to watch.

Use keywords naturally

Work your primary keyword into the first 25 words and weave related terms throughout — never stuff.

Add a clear CTA

Point viewers to subscribe, watch next, or follow your links. A description should guide the next action.

Write for discovery

Aim for 200+ words with timestamps and links so YouTube has rich context to rank your video.
