What Are YouTube Tags?
YouTube tags are descriptive keywords and phrases that creators can add to their videos through YouTube Studio. They provide additional context about the video’s subject.
For example, a tutorial explaining how to edit YouTube Shorts in CapCut might include tags such as CapCut tutorial, CapCut Shorts editing and video editing for beginners.
Broad Tags vs. Specific Tags
Broad tags cover a general subject, while specific tags describe the actual focus of your content. Both can be useful when they accurately reflect your video.
Specific tag: edit YouTube Shorts in CapCut
How to Choose Better YouTube Tags
- Start with your main topic. Use the phrase that best describes your actual video.
- Include relevant variations. Consider product names, techniques and specific topics.
- Match the video format. Use tutorial, review, gaming or Shorts terms only when appropriate.
- Remove unrelated suggestions. Avoid using trending keywords that do not describe your content.
- Prioritize useful metadata. Pay close attention to your title, thumbnail and description.
YouTube Tags vs. Hashtags
YouTube tags and hashtags are different. Tags are added through the video’s tag field in YouTube Studio. Hashtags begin with the # symbol and can appear in titles or descriptions.
Common Tagging Mistakes
- Adding unrelated popular keywords.
- Repeating nearly identical phrases unnecessarily.
- Copying competitor tags without checking relevance.
- Using broad terms that do not accurately describe the video.
- Expecting tags alone to increase rankings or views.
Before You Publish
Review every suggested tag, confirm that it matches the video, and remove inaccurate phrases. Use the generated list as a starting point rather than an automatic final selection.
