Hello. I want to start running traffic with YouTube SEO

  1. If I want to target the USA geo, do I need an account registered in the USA only, or will accounts from other geos work as well?
  2. Can I change the details (name, avatar, username) of a purchased account with subscribers and monetization without losing monetization?
  3. Is it necessary to use older accounts? From before 2021 or even older?
  4. What SEO strategies would you recommend to get immediate traction without delays?
  5. What other advice can you give for successfully uploading and targeting a specific geo?
Thank you in advance for your answers!

Start start new if your new. No need to cheat youtube its there to help you. Only on one condition though... You upload quality content. If you can't do that, and isntead head down the slippy slapper road of trying to game youtube, you'll just waste your money and potentially get banned. Seen people complaining about that before.

You didn’t answer any of my questions because you haven’t worked with what I described above. My goal is traffic arbitrage through YouTube SEO — after watching the video, the lead should complete a specific action. Why would I need to create a new account for that, spend an unknown amount of time getting monetization, and only then start pushing SEO???
 
If you want sustainable growth and long-term success, you should focus on building high-quality content. Good content easily attracts attention, and videos will be recommended to viewers by YouTube. If the content isn’t good, no matter what you do, your channel won’t be able to grow.
 
Accounts from other geos usually work fine, just gotta set your channel location to US if you want.
 
After purchasing a channel, you should not change any data under any circumstances, unless you've published 2-3 videos. This change won't affect monetization, but it could negatively impact YouTube's algorithms

you don’t really need a usa account, geo mostly depends on your content, keywords and audience watch time, even normal accounts can rank if the video seo is done right.
 
You can use accounts from any geo as long as you set the video location and target keywords for the USA. Changing channel details won't lose monetization, but it might temporarily confuse the algorithm. Older accounts are generally more trusted, but consistency is what really gets you traction. :p
 
You don’t really need a US account to target US viewers. Focus more on US keywords, good retention, and CTR. If the content performs well, YouTube will push it to the right audience regardless of the account’s location.
 
You don't necessarily need a US account to rank for US traffic. In most cases YouTube decides the audience based on viewer behavior, watch time and keywords rather than the account origin.

Older channels can sometimes get traction a bit faster because they already have some history, but it’s not required if the video SEO and retention are strong.

For quicker traction with YouTube SEO I would focus on long-tail keywords with low competition and optimize the first 24–48 hours (title, thumbnail CTR, and early engagement). That early performance often determines whether the video keeps ranking or not.
