YouTube Tags Best Practices, Built Right In

Using the right tags won't guarantee more views, but they can help your content get discovered when they're accurate, keyword-driven, and up to date.

Prioritize Relevance

Only add tags that clearly describe your video's topic. Irrelevant tags can mislead viewers and hurt engagement.

Use Keywords Thoughtfully

Include your main keywords and related phrases. Our generator surfaces relevant terms you may not think of on your own.

Add Long-Tail Variations

Mix in longer, specific phrases like "growing tomatoes indoors" instead of just "tomatoes" to compete in less crowded spaces.

FAQs

YouTube video tags are keywords or phrases that you attach to your video. They provide YouTube's algorithm with context about your video's content and relevancy to viewers, helping with search and recommendation features.
While YouTube permits up to 500 characters for video tags, focus on quality and relevance over quantity. As a general guideline, use between 5 to 15 tags per video that accurately depict the content and topic.
Start by brainstorming keywords that accurately represent your video content, then add long-tail keywords and synonyms. vidIQ's AI tag generator automates this process, surfacing the most relevant options instantly.
While a few general channel-theme tags can appear across videos, the majority of your tags should be specific to each video's unique content. This ensures YouTube accurately categorizes and recommends each video based on its individual topic.
Tags work for Shorts just like long-form videos. Use 3–5 specific tags describing the exact topic, include trending niche keywords, and avoid generic tags like 'shorts' or 'viral' — YouTube already knows it's a Short. Our generator works for both formats.
