YouTube Question Is the YouTube algorithm works on sound frequency?

[Jack Ryan]

If We use relevant keywords speaks in our videos, is this helpful for ranking the video?

Short answer - no.

Long answer - while it is possible to use audio as input to a machine-learning-generated model (how Google/YouTube ranks videos), it is the least developed capability in most systems. We (the tech industry) are a few years away from being able to do this in a consistent way.

I believe the algorithm wonΓÇÖt work based on what weΓÇÖre saying in our video, itΓÇÖs mainly the titles, tags, descriptions, and tons of videos on our channel that will trigger off the algorithm and make it see what our content is about, in short, it sees words, so thatΓÇÖs why SEO is very helpful when creating titles and writing descriptions, and tags.

ThatΓÇÖs my understanding of it anyways.

It checks them with the CC they auto do or you provide. So yes technically. IT CAN Help the video do better, but the video's Title Thumbnail and Value itself is WAY more important

Yep, people will find a video based on a search, and will click on a video based on what the thumbnail looks like, and if the title appeals to them, not on what is said in the video, but what is said in the video technically helps. It's also important not to have much swearing withing the first 20 seconds of a video, as mentioned by Creator Insider last year. What you say helps in terms of data... but what you say in the video should relate to the topic of the video anyway. If you're doing a video review on the Mandelorian Season 2, there's a very good chance you'll be saying those words anyway, so it's nothing to really think about, it just happens organically anyway. But I don't think the amount of times you say something "helps" in making something rank "better", as you always say andrew, it provides data to help YouTube understand what the video is about. Just like closed captioning helps with providing data.

How much data is provides and how much it helps in it being served is probably irrelevant when people generally judge the quality of a video based on the thumbnail and title and description (and they only see about 2 lines of description before clicking) you can stuff a video full of verbal keywords, but if the title isn't interesting and the thumbnail stinks, people still aren't going to click, which will drop the ranking long term.

ThatΓÇÖs good to know, I wasnΓÇÖt aware of this as per my previous comment, we learn something new everyday

Put your video link in contentbear.co and an auto generated text will be generated from your video; if you do not want to use this third party website you need to download the whole auto CC from your youtube video from your youtube studios. This will give you an idea as to how your voice was conceived well by the algorithm and surely it has a massive impact on SEO because the voice is used by machine learning and is part of the automatic closed captioning which is part of the SEO.
