YouTube Video Metadata Optimizer
From: Publishing and Optimization, The Launch Sequence
Use this prompt to generate optimized metadata for any video before publishing.
Help me create optimized metadata for my YouTube video. Video title: [YOUR WORKING TITLE] Main topic/keyword: [PRIMARY SEARCH TERM] Video summary: [2-3 SENTENCES ABOUT THE VIDEO] Key timestamps: [MAJOR SECTIONS WITH APPROX TIMES] My lead magnet/offer: [WHAT I WANT VIEWERS TO DO] My website: [URL] Target audience: [WHO THIS VIDEO IS FOR] Please generate: - An optimized video description with: - A compelling first 150 characters with the keyword - A full first paragraph (3-4 sentences) - Formatted timestamps - A CTA section with the lead magnet - A standard about/subscribe section - A list of 8-10 relevant tags - Three hashtags for the description - A pinned comment to drive engagement - A short social media caption for promotion Make all copy sound natural, not keyword-stuffed.
Run this before publishing every video. Having your metadata ready in advance means you can upload, paste everything in, and launch without scrambling to write descriptions on the fly. Save your outputs so you can reference what's worked well and maintain consistency.
