What do videos that generate engagement have in common?
When building our content strategy for YouTube, we must first focus on the SEO of the video itself on YouTube. This is a step totally unrelated to the content and its quality, but it will tell the search engine how to locate the video.
We will carefully choose the title. and the file name should be the same as the title. Avoid names auto-generated by programs (e.g. VID20141122.mp4).
We will also take care of the keywords and the description, and this should be as complete as possible, a good summary of the content. But we can include additional information about the brand, profile or content creator, such as links to other social profiles, URL of the website/shop/blog, etc.
We can and should choose a good thumbnail that represents the content of the video and easily distinguishes it from other videos on the channel and YouTube. Of course, it is even more advisable to create a specific image to be used as a thumbnail.
As for the content, it must certainly be of interest to our target audience. But also… It goes without saying that the visual and sound quality must be optimal. Depending on the type of content we offer, certain qualities are expected from us.
The videos must follow certain guidelines, maintaining a certain homogeneity in all aspects (length, style, writing, script). In such a way that a follower who sees a brand video automatically knows who has published it and what to expect from the video.
