Frequently Asked Questions

Do YouTube tags increase views?

Tags are descriptive keywords you can add to your video to help viewers find your content. This is especially important in the early stages of your channel when you don't have a large following, and YouTube's algorithm isn't familiar with your content.

According to Google, "tags can be useful if the content of your video is commonly misspelled. Otherwise, tags play a minimal role in your video's discovery."

Even if tags don't play an important role in your channel's visibility, add some to your videos so the algorithm can understand what they are about.

However, if you want more viewers, optimizing your video’s title, thumbnail, and description is more important. They also help viewers decide whether they want to watch your videos or not.

How many tags should I add to my videos?

YouTube allows creators to publish up to 15 tags, so use the most relevant ones for your videos.

Add as many tags as possible that describe your video's topic and category, but not more to avoid getting in trouble with Google. They explain that "adding excessive tags to your video description is against our policies on spam, deceptive practices, and scams."

How many keywords and tags can I track?

Users with Legend accounts can track up to 50 keywords at a time, while enterprise users have no limits.

How often is the data updated? Will I get real-time results?

Our YouTube video rank checker updates the data every time you generate a report, which can be done once every 24 hours. You can also schedule weekly or monthly reports.

On the other hand, TubeBuddy updates your tag search positions automatically.

How accurate is the data provided by the Rank & Tag Tracker?

TubeBuddy takes the data from YouTube and Google; it’s completely accurate.

Can competitors see that I am tracking their tags and SEO strategies?

No, they can't see that. TubeBuddy uses public data and competitors will not be alerted. But you will, and that will give you an edge over their channel.
