YouTube Description & Tags
The prompt
Write a YouTube description and tags.
Title: {{your_title}}
Content summary: {{brief}}
Key points: {{list_5_7}}
Target keyword: {{main_search_term}}
Links to include: {{i_ll_add_urls}}
Please write:
1. Description (first 2-3 lines critical — make them strong)
2. Full description with timestamps: 00:00 - {{chapter}}
3. 15-20 tags (broad and specific mix)
4. End screen CTA
5. A comment to pin immediately after publishing Why this works
Specifying that the first 2-3 lines are critical reflects YouTube's truncation — users only see those lines before clicking 'more,' so front-loading value is the most important structural decision. Asking for timestamps simultaneously with the description produces a complete, publication-ready package. Requesting both broad and specific tags mirrors YouTube's algorithm, which uses a mix for discovery.
Risks & review
Tag strategy and description optimisation for YouTube evolves with algorithm changes — verify current best practices since the AI's knowledge may lag by 12-18 months. The AI cannot know your channel's existing keyword rankings or audience behaviour, so treat the suggested tags as a starting list to validate against YouTube Studio analytics.
