Target language for outputs

Channel niche / topic

Target audience

Desired tone

Video idea / main topic

Existing or draft title (optional)

YouTube video URL (optional)

You do not have to fill everything. The more context you give (niche, audience, tone, URL, existing title), the more precise the AI suggestions become. Each tool below reuses this information automatically.

Video context & URL analyser

Summarises your idea and optional URL into a clear SEO brief: main topic, search intent, likely audience and content angle you can build on.

Analyse

Uses your topic, niche, audience and optional URL to create a concise SEO summary.

Turning a loose idea into a focused YouTube SEO brief

Many creators start with an instinctive idea: a recipe that worked well, a tool they want to explain or a story they want to share. The challenge is converting that instinct into a clear SEO angle that fits how viewers actually search. The analyser card reads your topic description, niche, audience and optional URL to produce a structured brief describing what the video is really about in search terms.

The generated brief typically includes elements such as primary and secondary keywords, the dominant search intent (tutorial, review, inspiration, case study), and the level of the audience (beginner or advanced). Instead of guessing a title first and then trying to retrofit SEO, you can look at this neutral summary and decide whether it matches the viewers you want to attract.

You can reuse the brief as the “source of truth” for the other tools on this page. If the context feels wrong, adjust the original topic description, audience and tone above and run the analyser again. Once the SEO framing looks right, you are ready to generate titles, descriptions and tags that are consistent with that strategy.

Viral YouTube titles generator

Generates multiple title options: search-friendly, curiosity-based and emotionally charged, adapted to your niche and audience.

Titles

Style focus

Outputs title ideas tailored to your topic, language, audience and tone.

Balancing click-through rate and keyword clarity

A good YouTube title must satisfy two masters at once. On one side you have the viewer, who scans thumbnails quickly and reacts to emotional triggers, curiosity and relevance. On the other you have search and recommendation systems that rely on clear wording to understand what your video covers. The title generator is designed to sit exactly in that middle ground: it keeps core keywords visible while still offering strong hooks.

The style selector lets you emphasise different aspects. “SEO-focused titles” prioritise clarity and keyword coverage, which is useful for evergreen how-to content and tutorials that need to rank reliably over time. “Curiosity / hook-driven” suggestions lean into patterns that attract clicks from the recommendation feed: open loops, surprising contrasts and outcome-oriented phrasing. The mixed mode produces titles that combine both perspectives, often a good starting point for experiments.

For channels that publish structured content like “5 tips”, “7 mistakes” or “10 ideas”, the listicle style provides numbered titles tuned to your niche and audience. These variations set clear expectations and can be very effective when you plan to deliver compact, value-dense advice. You can run the generator multiple times with slightly different tone instructions in the global context to explore a wider range of possibilities.

SEO YouTube description writer

Creates a structured 300–500 word description with search-friendly phrasing, timestamps outline and a short call-to-action section.

Description

Includes keyword-rich intro, bullet points, light call-to-action and optional structure for timestamps you can fill later.

Using descriptions to reinforce discoverability

While thumbnails and titles attract the first click, the description helps YouTube understand the detailed context of your video. A good description repeats the main keywords naturally, explains the value of the content and outlines what viewers will get from watching until the end. It also serves as a reference for human visitors who scan the text before deciding whether to invest their time.

The description generator builds a layered block that starts with a concise, keyword-rich paragraph. That opening section is designed to make sense on its own if truncated in search results. Subsequent paragraphs unpack the topic, address common questions and frame the video in terms of transformation: what changes for the viewer after they follow the steps or listen to the story. Where appropriate, short bullet lists summarise the main sections or outcomes.

The generator can also include placeholders for timestamps and external links. Even if you plan to refine those pieces manually, starting from a consistent structure saves time and keeps the messaging aligned across your uploads.

Keyword tags & long-tail ideas

Produces short-tail and long-tail keyword tags you can paste into the tags field or reuse in future content planning.

Thinking about tags as a keyword map for your channel

Tags are no longer the primary ranking factor on YouTube, but they still help the system disambiguate topics and relate your video to similar content. More importantly, the process of defining tags forces you to clarify which queries and phrases you actually want to show up for. The tags generator turns your topic, niche and audience into a structured list of keyword ideas you can reuse across multiple videos.

Suggestions typically include short-tail tags (broad categories such as “easy pasta recipe”), medium-tail phrases (“quick pasta recipe for beginners”) and long-tail queries that resemble natural search questions (“how to make creamy pasta without heavy cream”). The long-tail group is particularly useful when you plan follow-up videos or Shorts that target narrower problems within your main theme.

You can paste the tags directly into YouTube Studio or treat them as a planning list. Highlight the ones that align best with your expertise and future content roadmap, and keep them in a simple spreadsheet or note so you can track which topics you have already covered in depth.

SEO-aligned hashtag generator

Generates a compact set of 15–25 YouTube-friendly hashtags that echo your keywords without turning the description into a wall of tags.

Hashtags

Hashtags stay aligned with your niche and avoid generic, overused tags.

Using hashtags as lightweight discovery signals

Hashtags on YouTube act as an additional discovery layer rather than the main driver of views. They help the platform and some viewers quickly understand the context of the video, especially on mobile where people may tap on a tag to explore related content. The goal is not to stuff as many tags as possible, but to select a compact group that reinforces your primary and secondary topics.

The hashtag generator builds that group from your video context. It prioritises phrases that match your niche, language, audience level and geographic focus if specified. Generic tags such as “#youtube” or “#viralvideo” bring little benefit and are typically avoided in favour of more descriptive options like “#easydinnerrecipe”, “#budgettravel” or “#beginnerworkout”.

You can copy the generated block into the last line of your description or split the tags between the description and a pinned comment. Over time, using consistent hashtag families across related videos can make your channel’s structure clearer to both viewers and the recommendation system.

Thumbnail text & concept ideas

Suggests short 2–5 word texts and visual concepts for thumbnails that match your title and promise a clear outcome.

Thumbnail

Focuses on bold, readable text plus simple visual concepts you can recreate in any editor.

Aligning thumbnails with your video’s promise

Thumbnail text has a different job than the title. While the title usually carries keywords and structure, the thumbnail can strip the message down to a minimal emotional statement: a benefit, a pain point or a surprising contrast. When both elements work together, viewers understand instantly what the video offers and why they should care.

The thumbnail generator outputs short phrases designed to be readable on small screens: typically between two and five words. It also suggests simple visual concepts to pair with the text, such as before-and-after layouts, split screens showing problem versus solution, or single objects that represent the topic. These ideas are kept realistic so you can execute them with standard design tools or even within YouTube’s built-in editor.

For best results, run the title generator first, choose a favourite title, then mention it briefly in your global context or existing title field. The thumbnail suggestions will reflect that choice and maintain coherence across your SEO assets.

Content outline & hooks ideas

Builds a simple outline with hook suggestions, section ideas and call-to-action moments tailored to your topic and audience.

Ideas

Suggested outline stays tight and focused so you can film without getting lost in details.

Keeping videos structured without reading a script

Many creators prefer talking naturally on camera rather than reading a full script, but still want a clear structure so the video does not drift. The outline generator provides that balance. It proposes a hook for the first few seconds, two to five main sections with bullet-level detail, and one or two moments where a call-to-action fits naturally (such as asking viewers to subscribe or watch another video).

Because the outline is generated with your niche, audience and tone in mind, the suggested hooks tend to match the level of explanation your viewers expect. For example, a beginner-focused coding tutorial might start with a quick demonstration of the end result, while an advanced audience could jump directly into constraints and trade-offs.

You can print the outline, keep it on a tablet or simply glance at it on your monitor while recording. The goal is not to follow every bullet point verbatim but to keep the narrative moving from problem to solution in a way that supports watch time and retention.

Competitor titles & positioning analyser

Paste a few competing video titles or URLs and see how they position their content compared to your idea.

Competitors

Competing titles / URLs (one per line)

Highlights patterns in competitor titles and suggests differentiation angles.

Learning from existing videos without copying them

Studying how others position similar topics is one of the fastest ways to calibrate your own SEO. By looking at a set of competing titles, you can infer which angles have already been tested and where there might be space for a different promise or format. The competitor analyser helps by reading all the snippets you paste and summarising common patterns, strengths and blind spots.

The output typically covers recurring keyword phrases, emotional hooks competitors rely on and any segments of the audience they seem to ignore. It may also point out monotonous patterns, such as every video promising the “best way” without addressing specific scenarios or constraints. You can then use this information to shape your own title and thumbnail so they stand out instead of blending into a crowded field.

Over time, building this kind of awareness across multiple uploads helps you define a consistent positioning strategy for your channel. Rather than chasing individual keywords in isolation, you begin to see how your overall content library compares to others in the same niche.
