YouTube SEO Prompts for Titles, Descriptions & Tags

You are a YouTube packaging strategist.

TOPIC: [PASTE YOUR TOPIC]
NICHE: [PASTE YOUR NICHE]
FORMAT: [Shorts / Long-form]

Write 15 video titles. Rules:
- Maximum 60 characters each so nothing truncates on mobile.
- Each title must open a curiosity gap without being clickbait that the video can't pay off.
- Use at least 4 different patterns across the set: number list, negative/warning, question, "how X did Y", contrarian statement, story tease.
- No emojis, no ALL CAPS words except one optional power word.
- Include the primary keyword in the first 3 words for at least 5 of them.

Output as a numbered list. After each title, append a pipe, a clarity and curiosity assessment (LOW / MID / HIGH), and a 6-word reason. Do not predict click-through rates.

Write a YouTube video description for the video below.

TITLE: [PASTE TITLE]
TOPIC: [PASTE TOPIC]
NICHE: [PASTE NICHE]
CHANNEL: [CHANNEL NAME]

Structure exactly:
1. Hook paragraph (2-3 sentences, ~250 characters) that repeats the primary keyword naturally in the first sentence and makes the viewer want to keep watching.
2. "In this video:" — 5 bullet points describing what is covered, each starting with a verb.
3. Timestamps block using only timings supplied with the finished video. If timing is unknown, use placeholder chapter times and label them as placeholders.
4. A 2-sentence call to action to subscribe and to check the pinned comment.
5. A 3-line disclaimer block (educational purposes / not professional advice / some links may be affiliate links).
6. A final line of 10 comma-separated keyword phrases.

Keep total length between 900 and 1400 characters. Plain text only, no markdown.

Act as a YouTube SEO specialist. For the video below, generate a tag set.

TITLE: [PASTE TITLE]
NICHE: [PASTE NICHE]

Rules:
- Exactly 30 tags, comma separated, total under 500 characters.
- Tag 1 must be the exact primary keyword.
- Tags 2-8: close variations and long-tail versions of the primary keyword.
- Tags 9-20: related search phrases a viewer of this niche types.
- Tags 21-30: broad category tags plus 2 competitor channel-style tags.
- All lowercase, no hashtags, no duplicates, no single generic words like "video".

Output only the comma-separated tag string on one line, then on a new line report the total character count.

Generate hashtags for a faceless short-form video.

TOPIC: [PASTE TOPIC]
PLATFORM: [YouTube Shorts / TikTok / Instagram Reels]

Return three groups:
BROAD (3 relevant broad-topic hashtags).
SPECIFIC (5 hashtags closely related to the topic).
NICHE (7 hashtags for the precise subject or community).

Then output a single ready-to-paste line of the 8 best hashtags with a mix of broad and specific topics, ordered by relevance. No explanations after that line.

You are a brand naming expert for faceless YouTube channels.

NICHE: [PASTE NICHE]
TONE: [dark / cinematic / calm / playful / premium]
AUDIENCE: [PASTE AUDIENCE]

Generate 25 channel names. Rules:
- One or two words preferred, maximum three.
- Easy to spell after hearing it once, no numbers, no hyphens.
- No trademarked terms and no creator's personal name.
- Must still make sense if the channel expands to adjacent topics in the same niche.

Group them: 10 Evocative, 10 Descriptive, 5 Abstract.
For each name add a 6-word positioning line and a suggested handle in the form @name. Do not claim that the handle is available; ask me to check it.
Finish with your top 3 picks and one sentence each on why.

You are handling the full upload package for a faceless YouTube video.

TOPIC: [PASTE TOPIC]
NICHE: [PASTE NICHE]
VIDEO LENGTH: [e.g. 8 minutes]
TARGET VIEWER: [PASTE AUDIENCE]

Deliver, in this exact order and with these exact section headers:

TITLES
5 options, each under 60 characters, ranked by clarity and relevance to the finished video.

THUMBNAIL TEXT
5 options, maximum 4 words each, that do NOT repeat the title wording.

DESCRIPTION
900-1300 characters: hook paragraph, 5 bullets, 6 timestamps starting at 00:00, subscribe CTA, disclaimer.

TAGS
30 comma-separated tags under 500 characters total.

HASHTAGS
3 hashtags for the title area, 8 for the description.

PINNED COMMENT
One comment under 200 characters designed to start a debate in the replies.

Plain text output only.

Generate thumbnail text options for this video.

TITLE: [PASTE TITLE]
TOPIC: [PASTE TOPIC]

Rules:
- 12 options, maximum 4 words each, ideally 2 or 3.
- The thumbnail text must NOT repeat the title — together they should form one complete thought.
- Use tension words, numbers, or a single provocative noun.
- All caps friendly, readable at 200px wide.

Group them: 4 Curiosity, 4 Stakes, 4 Number/Result.
For each, add the emotion it triggers in one word. Mark your top 3 and pair each with the best matching title variant.

Write 12 opening hooks for a faceless short-form video.

TOPIC: [PASTE TOPIC]
NICHE: [PASTE NICHE]

Each hook must be:
- Spoken in under 3 seconds (roughly 8-11 words).
- Written in spoken language, not written language — read it aloud and it must sound natural.
- Free of any greeting, channel name, or "in this video".
- Structured to create an open loop the viewer must close.

Use at least 5 different mechanisms across the set: contradiction, direct accusation, impossible claim, countdown, unfinished sentence, secret, warning.

For each hook add the matching visual for that first second, and mark the three with the strongest retention potential.

Write engagement content for a faceless channel.

NICHE: [PASTE NICHE]
RECENT VIDEO: [PASTE TITLE]

Deliver:
1. Five community posts — each under 200 characters, each ending in a question that can be answered in three words.
2. Three poll posts with the question and 4 options each, designed so the results are genuinely uncertain.
3. Five pinned comment options for the recent video, each written to provoke replies rather than compliments.
4. Three reply templates for common comment types: the compliment, the correction, and the hostile take. Each reply must be short, warm, and invite one more exchange.

Plain text, no emojis beyond one per post maximum.
