Questions
What should go first in a YouTube description?
One or two sentences about what the viewer gets, with your main keyword. About the first 100–150 characters show before “more”.
How long can a description be?
Up to 5,000 characters. Most good descriptions use 200–1,000.
How many hashtags should I use?
Three to five. The first three can appear above your title; more than 15 and YouTube ignores them all.
