Add keywords in title, description use appropriate tags mention related videos in the description if he have any use vidiq or tube buddy extension free will do the work
tubebuddy i’ve heard of it, but i’ve never actually checked, how it works?
thumbnails are crafted with great precision.
beyond SEO, a strong push is needed to get the video in front of the target audience. do you have any ideas on this?

It depends on your budget, but you can do it for free by editing the most interesting and intriguing clips and posting them on platforms like YouTube Shorts or TikTok, directing your audience where you want them to go.

You aren’t necessarily better than anyone else at the moment, so i suggest you master these tools they are highly accurate and effective for your channel and your area of expertise. You can even have someone else handle the keyword research for you, while still ensuring it aligns with your own perspective.

You need appropriate keywords and descriptions, as well as a number of links, to attract viewers. You must focus on quality; even if your SEO efforts are strong, a lack of user engagement makes it very difficult to attract an audience and engagement is what creates the momentum needed for your videos to grow and potentially attract customers
you have used VidIQ to perform SEO for a channel and its video content. could you show me some samples of your work? It would be helpful for me to understand how things work.

You can use tools like vidIQ or TubeBuddy for keyword research but also check YouTube search suggestions and competitor videos to find relevant topics and keywords for your travel niche
i should good to do.
i am glad to have received your feedback. i hope this will serve my purpose; however, it would be even better if I could see some samples of your previous work, as that would help me understand things more clearly.

I have tried this out on a couple of different platform where I realized that there were certain videos whose search view were gud but others had more engagement from the suggested vds even though they belonged to the same topic. I usually use the watch time and audience retention metrics available in the studio to figure out the topics my audience engage in. are you using the free version of Vidiq for keyword research?
I haven't started using it yet. I am currently exploring the matter, but I have decided to go ahead and use it.

Use YouTube search suggestions for keywords add them naturally to titles and descriptions, and check YouTube Studio to see what works.
i could consider actual searches strings before booking or planning a vacation, and not only travel related keyword searches. also see what videos from ur competitors are being watched several months after their initial posting and you ll have some good topics there.
