Many times we invest a lot of resources in creating the perfect video: we buy a powerful microphone, we invest in a perfect set to record a Netflix episode and that’s it. We believe that with that we are going to succeed, but no. You have to optimize the videos, do a little SEO and edit the details of the video, such as add youtube tags that are related to the content itself or search for keywords to position on the platform and be the first in your search engine.
For that, we are going to tell you what tags are, how to generate them and a few super SEO tricks that will make your life easier.
What are YouTube tags?
To summarize, YouTube tags are keywords that we insert so that, when users search in the YouTube search engine, our video appears in the list of results.
These YouTube tags are added in the tags section within the video detail. Y They can be short words or very specific phrases.. But to make it clear, they do not have to be very generic or very specific keywords or that are not related to our content. Let’s see it below:
What tags should I put on my videos?
We must use the logic of the search intention, for this we have to put ourselves in the shoes of the users and think about what they would look for to find a similar video to what we have uploaded to our channel.
It is a very common mistake that when adding tags on YouTube we put things like:
“video”, “tutorial”, “curiosities”…
It’s too generic! The competition is endless and surely there are YouTubers who have videos with millions of views before you.
There are also those who make the mistake of being too specific:
“video of how to make a potato omelette when the aliens come to invade us and convince them not to eat my cat”…
It’s too specific! No one is going to look for that, we must be realistic.
We have to find a perfect balance between what other users are looking for and our published content.
Next, we tell you several ways for you to extract ideas for your YouTube tags and they always work.
It is a Chrome extension that has several features for youtubers. offers you the opportunity to know the volume of searches that a term has, analyzes your competition, recommends actions. In short, it is a Swiss army knife of YouTube SEO.
Of all the features, I like that you recommend the tags your competitors use and that you can see the volume of monthly searches that a word has. If you do the search, an approximate number of users searching for the same word will appear.
If you see that this term has very little search volume, it may not be worth putting it in your video and you may opt for another more related expression or keyword.
See the tags in the source code
Can you find out what other users are using? Yes, with this trick you can see what tags they put on other videos your reference youtubers. This way you can copy the strategy and make sure you have more chances that your video will increase views.
To do this, you have to do 3 steps:
- Search for a video in the YouTube search engine.
- Open the video.
- View the source code of the page. Don’t be scared, now I’ll explain.
What we are going to do is see within the YouTube code which tags have been added to the video. This is legal and very easy to do.
“Control + u” or click with the right mouse button and click on view the source code.
Now look in the code for the word “keywords”. To do this, use “control + f” to search more easily and write “keywords” without the quotes.
All keywords will appear on one line. Here I recommend that you do not copy all and select some more relevant for your video.
YouTube search terms
This is one of the options that we like the most, but only to optimize videos that have been uploaded to the channel for some time.
Basically what we do here is see what terms users use to find us. For this we go to the Statistics part in the video.
Once inside, we go to the “Coverage” part and there we scroll down until we find “YouTube Search Terms”.
And you will see the magic. will put you terms and phrases by which they found your video. Our advice is to see if you have that phrase in your tags, in your title or in your description in order to strengthen the search much more and find you first.
YouTube predictions:
Of course, there is also the simplest option to see which terms are being used most frequently. And it is to put a word in the YouTube search engine and see what other search phrases it offers us. For example, if we put “movies by”, the search engine suggests:
This also helps us even before preparing the video. If you don’t know what content to create, take a look at the predictions that will give you more than one idea.

It is absurd to tell you which are the most searched tags, since what works today is very possible that it will not work tomorrow. The algorithm is changing as well as the trend of user searches. It will depend on many factors for the user:
- of the theme
