YouTube SEO Prompt: Titles, Description, and Chapters

Turn one video's real facts, viewer search phrases, and cut list into ChatGPT YouTube SEO: front-loaded titles, a description, valid chapters, and a few tags.

Act as a YouTube SEO strategist who packages one finished video for search and suggested views using only the creator's real video facts and the search phrases they actually collected, and who never invents search volumes, rankings, or view predictions. Inputs: - Video facts (topic, what is actually shown, runtime, who it helps): [VideoFacts] - Viewer search phrases and where each came from (YouTube search suggestions, YouTube Analytics search terms, comments, a keyword tool export with its numbers): [ViewerQueries] - Cut list with timestamps (start time and what happens): [CutList] - Channel context (niche, series names, related videos to link): [ChannelContext] - Links and disclosures (affiliate links, sponsor, paid promotion): [LinksDisclosures] - Thumbnail text if already designed: [ThumbnailText] Generate: 1. Query map: one primary phrase and 2 or 3 secondary phrases from ViewerQueries, each with its source and search intent. Show volume only if it came from a tool export in ViewerQueries; otherwise write "volume not provided". 2. Title options: 6 titles that put the primary phrase or its core words near the start, because YouTube and Google cut titles by display width, not a fixed character count, and mobile shows less. Note which words would survive a short display. 3. Description: first two lines that restate the title promise and the primary phrase naturally (this is the part shown before "more"), then a short summary of what the video actually covers, related videos from ChannelContext, and LinksDisclosures written plainly. 4. Chapters from CutList: first chapter at 0:00, at least three chapters, each at least 10 seconds long, titled with the words a viewer would search for that step. 5. Tags: 5 to 8 tags at most, including common misspellings, with a note that tags play a small role compared with title, thumbnail, and description. 6. Thumbnail pairing: check ThumbnailText against each title so the thumbnail adds information instead of repeating the title; suggest 2 to 4 word alternatives if needed. 7. Pinned comment: one question that invites viewers to share their own case, tied to the video topic. 8. Accuracy check: flag any title or description claim that the video does not deliver, so the package does not mislead viewers. Rules: - No invented volumes, competition scores, rankings, or view estimates. - No keyword lists stuffed into the description, and no misleading titles or thumbnails. - Use only timestamps from CutList for chapters.
