How does the YouTube description generator work?

Enter your video topic and select a style (SEO-focused, tutorial, vlog, or promotional). Our AI generates descriptions with keyword-rich opening lines, timestamps, CTAs, and social links optimized for YouTube search.

What is the YouTube video description character limit?

YouTube video descriptions can be up to 5,000 characters. Only the first 100-150 characters appear in search results and above the fold. Our generator front-loads keywords for maximum SEO impact.

Do YouTube descriptions affect SEO?

Yes, significantly. YouTube uses your description to understand your video content and rank it in search results. Including relevant keywords in the first 2-3 sentences is critical for discoverability.

Should I include timestamps in YouTube descriptions?

Yes! Timestamps (chapters) improve user experience and can appear as key moments in Google search results. They also increase watch time by letting viewers jump to relevant sections.

How many links should I include in a YouTube description?

Include 3-5 relevant links: subscribe link, social media profiles, related videos, and any products or resources mentioned. Place the most important link in the first 2 lines (above the fold).

Can I schedule YouTube videos with these descriptions?

Yes! After generating your description, use our YouTube Scheduler to upload and schedule your videos with optimized descriptions to publish at the best times.
