Boost your YouTube videos with the help of SEO
Video content is incredibly big at the moment. People search for videos to have fun and educate, work and shop. So, nearly any business can benefit from running an informative and creative YouTube channel. The good news is SEO PowerSuite's Rank Tracker doubles as a YouTube rank tracking tool!
A bit of SEO with the consideration of the YouTube ranking factors will help your videos rank higher both on the YouTube SERP and on Google. This is how you make YouTube suggest your content in searches to the right users.
What you get from the YouTube Rank Checker
The first thing you need to be doing for YouTube SEO is to make sure that the keywords you're putting into your descriptions and tags are just right. The correct optimization steps taken on your awesome content are the biggest thing that you can do to improve your video rankings.
Check your YouTube rankings
First and foremost, the YouTube rank checker lets you find out your current rankings on the
YouTube SERP. Paste the URL of your video to create a project, set it up to track the exact
video URL, and add YouTube as your preferred search engine. In a few moments, you will
discover your top-ranking keywords and positions on the YouTube result page.
Check your video rankings on Google
For your videos to be successful, though, you need to go beyond doing YouTube SEO alone.
You must also ensure that your content appears in video results in the organic Google
SERP.
So, add Google as one of your preferred engines in Project Preferences > Preferred
Search Engines. With that done, the YouTube rank checker will show if your
content appears as a suggested video in Google.
Track your video rankings change over time
Monitoring your YouTube video rankings on a regular SERP is done in a couple of clicks.
Enable recording SERP history at the bottom of the workspace. The YouTube rank checker will
record SERP positions with the next keyword rankings checkup. You'll be able to monitor how
the rankings of your videos change on the YouTube SERP and correct your content strategy
accordingly.
Track local video rankings
On top of that, you get the powerful local rank checker to add Google Mobile, any local
version of Google, or any other search engine imaginable. Add your custom search engine and
define the exact location. Then click the Check Rankings button for the added
search engine, and get the true local SERP, with all the video packs and YouTube pages
listed there.
Check your competitors' ranking videos
The YouTube rank checker will show all ranking videos for the keyword on the YouTube SERP.
You'll be able to check your competitors' rankings and see what keywords get them clicks.
The YouTube rank tracker allows you to poach their keywords for yourself and win more clicks
to your own YouTube videos as a result.
Find video keywords for YouTube
Adding a long-tail keyword to a Youtube video description or tag will surely give them a
ranking boost. A popular tool to discover video keywords is YouTube's free autocomplete
feature. But it only gives you 10 suggestions for each keyword, which is simply
inconvenient.
The YouTube tracker wouldn't be complete without the in-built keyword research tool. In
our Rank Tracker, you can access the free Autocomplete tools to get much more extensive
keyword ideas. Select YouTube in the autocomplete dropdown menu, add the target
keyword, and hit Search. The keyword generator will bring you hundreds of
long-tail keywords to optimize your videos with.
Rank your videos by choosing the right keywords
A regular search audit gives much more than keyword rankings alone. There is also a
whole slew of information, from the number of searches, expected visits, and keyword
difficulty to PPC costs and click-through rates.
SEO stats like search volume and keyword difficulty will help you identify the perfect
keywords to put in your video title, description, and metadata. Check the SEO and PPC
data, pick the most promising keywords, and track how your keyword rankings improve.
Track visibility progress over time
You can see the visibility and ranking progress throughout the defined time (from one month
to all-time). These ranking reports will show your team or customers the ranking success of
your YouTube content in any search engine you're working on.
Compile a YouTube video ranking report
After a series of check-ups, you can get a nice YouTube rankings report that will be easy to
overview and share. Go to the Reports section of Rank Tracker and switch to the
Keyword Rankings (grouped by SE) custom report. By default, the report shows
keyword rankings split by search engines, including the custom search engine for YouTube.
Set up automated YouTube ranking checks and alerts
Moreover, you can run automated ranking checks and get regular updates on the positions of
your YouTube pages. You can even get alerts if your tracked video enters or drops out of the
top 10 (or top 30 or 50, if you wish). Mind that scheduling an automated check-up is
available in the Professional editions of the YouTube Rank Checker. And the delivery of
automated SEO reports and alerts can be set up in the Enterprise version.
Advanced tips on how to use the YouTube Rank Checker
TIP 1
Check the ranking of your YouTube videos on Google.
Add the URL of your video to create a project, with expert options disabled. In the rank
tracking, you will see some top keywords that the Rank Tracker spots as top-ranking keywords
for your videos.
TIP 2
Check the ranking of a separate video on YouTube.
Creating your project, enable the expert options. Add YouTube as your preferred search
engine, and enter the top keywords for which you expect your YouTube video to rank. Then
click the Check Rankings button and select to check YouTube rankings only.
TIP 3
Track videos from your entire YouTube channel.
In the same project, you can add all your videos to track alongside your main URL. In the
Project Preferences, add the Alternative URLs. Mind that in the Rank
Checking Mode, you need to enable Multiple results tracking. This way you
can track not only your current URL but also alternative URLs that rank for your video
keywords.
TIP 4
Check the ranking pages from the Google video results.
The website ranking tool shows the exact SERP history with all its rich features, such as
video results or thumbnails. You can hover on the URL and click to follow the link to check

click through to any video result on the SERP.
