I am new to you tube and social media and hear people talking about SEO and wondering what it is and why is it important?

First, of all, heya @ALANS AWESOME KETO W, Welcome to the community, it's great to have you on board with us.

SEO? Seo means Search Engine Optimization, and whenever it comes to Youtubing or let's say website ranking or any blog ranking, SEO plays a very important role. Now the question arises how and why?

Let's say your video is about how to mission a particular mission and you've made that video and have uploaded it Youtube, now, like yours, there are many other content creators out and who will be making the same video or video in the same niche or the game and chances of your video to rank or to compete them is tough or most unlikely, this when you're blindly uploading a video without involving any SEO or emphasizing on metadata such as tags or descriptions.

Now, none of us wants that we should just blindly upload the video after doing hardship and in end, it ends up getting low to no views. So TubeBuddy allows or helps you to ensure that you work on your SEO, here SEO will mean that it will help or make youtube understand what is your video about by using the metadata such as video tags, using an attractive title, keywords, descriptions, #tags, and thumbnails.
So we need to optimized our videos in such a way that they should show up at least in the top 20 in search results, well there isn't 100% surety that you will rank but your aim should be that!! Because you need to get organic views and subscribers and the only way you can get them is by making good content which people are searching for and you to ensure that you tell youtube with help of your SEO that "this is my video" "The video is made for this audience" "Please recommend or show it to this target audience only". At times, even you might end up getting ranked up in google search If you've chosen great tags or titles or keywords.

Other than this, you as well need to ensure that your CTR (Click-through rate Impression), number of times people are clicking on your thumbnail when youtube is recommending or showing the video impression to them, and your audience retention is well maintained. By audience retention it means that how long your subscribers are watching your video, are they watching it at least 50% or they're leaving the video after watching the first 10 seconds or 1 min. Audience retention is very important because if your audiences are not enjoying the content you're making, youtube is less likely to recommend or push your content forward to other viewers or subscribers and this will hamper your overall chances of getting organic views or subscribers.

I don't want to go into depth because it's a concept that includes thousands of words and the more we say, there are chances that you might get confused and I hope the above is making sense?
As well please don't worry, SEO mastering takes time and thanks to TB, with the help of their SEO studio feature (paid version), it helps us to know what and how we can improve the SEO of our videos and with the help of recommended tags , you can get an idea which keyword you should chose to make video on.

Hope it helps, and If you've any queries related to SEO, you can join the TB discord and/or you can as well ask us on the forums, our members will definitely help you and guide you with the help of experience they've gained in such years or months of practicing.
