YouTube SEO Score Checker

It checks 10 key signals: title length (50-60 chars optimal), description length (200+ chars), chapter timestamps in description, tags present, captions/subtitles enabled, custom thumbnail, engagement rate (likes/views ratio), total view count milestones, channel subscriber count, and video age vs views ratio. Each signal contributes to a score out of 100.

A score above 75/100 indicates a well-optimised video. Scores above 90 suggest excellent optimisation. Common issues that lower scores include missing chapters, no captions, short descriptions, and low engagement rates.

Add chapter timestamps in your description, enable auto-captions or upload a subtitle file, write a detailed description of 200+ characters with your target keyword in the first 100 characters, use 5-10 relevant tags, and create a custom thumbnail.

Yes. YouTube's algorithm uses metadata signals to understand and rank videos. A well-optimised video is more likely to appear in search results, suggested videos and browse feeds. High click-through rate (driven by thumbnail and title) and watch time are the strongest ranking signals.
