Most descriptions waste the fold on links
The first two lines appear before Show more. If they are a URL, a disclaimer, or “hey guys,” you trained skippers. Search also weights early keywords.
A 200–350 word description is enough for indexing. You do not need a novel. You need structure the algorithm and the viewer can scan.
Optimize a description in Studio
- 1
Enhance description with Youtube Optimizer
Open the video in YouTube Studio and generate a structured draft.
- 2
Rewrite the first two lines if they are generic
State the outcome and the keyword. Save merch links for after the hook.
- 3
Replace placeholder timestamps
The model inserts 00:00 chapter patterns. Put your real times so YouTube can build chapters.
- 4
Keep three hashtags that match the video
Hashtags are not tags. Three specific ones beat fifteen trending ones.

Frequently asked questions
How long should a YouTube description be?
About 200–350 words is plenty. YouTube’s indexing focus is the early text, not a 5,000 word dump.
Do descriptions help Shorts?
Yes. Shorts still get a description. Put the hook and 3 hashtags there; use tags in the tags field.
Can I generate descriptions for free?
One Youtube Optimizer enhance per day on the free plan.
