YouTube SEO SEO or Content ?

[Ali Humaidi]

Many people think that YouTube SEO is important, even though most videos are viral without the application of SEO, while videos with SEO optimization are not necessarily a lot of viewers. this what is the problem?
Is SEO that should take precedence or content that should take precedence?

 

[SILTHW]

They work together. SEO maximizes the chance your video will be viewed. But it is up the the content of the video to hold a viewers attention and drive up engagement. And then engagement drives your video higher in search, recommended videos, etc.

Put another way, how is a video going to go viral if no one can find it?
