Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the ideal YouTube title length?
- The ideal YouTube title length is 50-60 characters. This ensures your full title is visible in search results on desktop. Titles can be up to 100 characters, but longer titles get truncated in search and suggestions.
- How many characters show on mobile devices?
- Mobile devices typically show only 40-45 characters of your title before cutting it off with "...". Put your most important keywords and information at the beginning of the title.
- Does title length affect YouTube SEO?
- Yes! While YouTube doesn't penalize longer titles, truncated titles can reduce click-through rates. Viewers see incomplete titles in search results, which may appear less appealing or clear.
- Can I use emojis in YouTube titles?
- Yes, you can use emojis in YouTube titles. They can make your video stand out in search results, but use them sparingly. Each emoji counts as 1-2 characters depending on the type.
- Should I put keywords at the beginning or end?
- Always put your most important keywords at the beginning of the title. This ensures they're visible even when the title is truncated on mobile or in search results, improving both SEO and click-through rates.
- What happens if my title is over 100 characters?
- YouTube has a hard limit of 100 characters. If you try to enter more, YouTube will automatically cut it off at 100 characters when you save the video.
