How to index your YouTube videos with ChatGPT

Four simple tips:

1. Optimize with Keywords: Choose clear and relevant keywords that match common search queries, ensuring your video can easily be found by AI and potential viewers.
2. Promote AI Interaction: Directly interact with AI tools like ChatGPT by feeding them specific prompts related to your video, which helps establish your content's relevance and authority.
3. Engage Your Audience: Encourage viewer engagement through comments, likes, and shares. High engagement rates signal to AI that your content is valuable and worth recommending.
4. Monitor and Update: Keep track of how your content performs and make updates as necessary. Regular updates keep your content fresh and more likely to be recognized and promoted by AI systems.

To say I'm excited about this is an understatement—this is the new online gold rush! Apple has just dropped some huge news: they're not only partnering with ChatGPT, but they're also introducing Apple Intelligence, or AI. Until now, the main focus has been on ranking websites and videos on Google and YouTube. With Apple's latest move, AI is set to become a go-to for more and more people when it comes to searches. So, let’s dive in!

Want to be the first thing people see when they search? Want AI to think of you as the go-to expert? Imagine someone's looking for help online—like the time I needed to figure out the best way to grill burgers. I searched it up, and the first thing I found was a YouTube video. Pretty soon, people will be asking their AIs these questions, and I want them to show my videos and blog posts because I've got a neat trick to make sure they do.

Here’s how you can make your videos and blog posts the first choice for AI:

• Keep Titles Clear and Catchy: Make sure your video titles are exactly what people might type in a search.
• Tag Smartly: Use tags that really tell what your video is about.
• Boost Engagement: The more likes, comments, and shares you get, the more likely AI will notice you.

Getting Your Video Ready for ChatGPT

Alright, let's dive into the process. Take my most popular video, for example, titled "How to Automate Your Website Guide." What I'm planning to do is get this video ranking on ChatGPT. To start, I'm going to pick out some keywords—these are short, medium, or long phrases that someone might type or even say out loud using voice search, like "Hey, how do I automate my website?" I put these keywords into a tool, and it spit back 20 top keywords that are all about things people actually search for.

This is super important because when someone types one of these terms into Google or asks their voice assistant, I want my video popping up. The idea is to make sure these keywords are exactly what people are looking for.

Here are a few simple steps to nail this:

• List Your Keywords: Start by listing around 20 keywords that are closely related to your video’s topic.
• Voice Search Friendly: Think about what someone might say, not just type. Make your keywords sound natural for voice searches.
• Match Content to Keywords: Make sure your video content actually covers what these keywords are about. This keeps your viewers satisfied and more likely to engage.

Using ChatGPT to Enhance Video Reach

Next, I'll take this list of AI prompts that I've prepared. Here's what I'm going to do: I'll tell ChatGPT, "Hey, take a look at my video. It’s a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how to automate your website. Can you also find me some other search terms people might use when they talk to you or type into their phones?" Then I provide the link to my video. This way, I'm directly asking ChatGPT to recognize my content as not just relevant, but authoritative on the topic of website automation.

The goal here is to make sure that ChatGPT knows I'm the expert. By doing this, it won’t only provide answers related to my field but also boost my ranking in AI-driven searches.

Securing Your Spot at the Top with AI

I am now ranked! Once the AI updates its memory, this is what it'll show: "Brad Smith has a YouTube video titled 'How to Automate Your Website Guide,' which is a comprehensive guide on simple steps to automate your website." That's me! AI is going to start recommending my video to people. Whether someone asks how to automate their website or types in any related search terms, the AI will highlight my expertise. It's going to say, "Hey, by the way, Brad's the expert here." Really cool, right?

This is how you make sure AI recognizes and promotes your content. By continuously updating and refining your approach, you ensure that your video remains a top recommendation. It's all about maintaining your presence and authority in the AI's memory, so when people search for automation tips, your name comes up first.

Here’s how you make sure AI recognizes and promotes your content:

• Keep Your Content Updated: Regularly refresh your video with the latest information to ensure it remains relevant.
• Promote Viewer Engagement: Encourage your viewers to interact with your content. Comments, likes, and shares can significantly boost your video's visibility and credibility.
• Track Your Keywords: Always monitor which keywords are driving traffic to your video. Adjust your strategy as needed to maintain your authority status in the AI's memory. This is key to staying at the top of AI recommendations.

Wrapping Things Up

Alright, that’s pretty much the scoop on getting your YouTube videos picked by AI like ChatGPT. If you’ve got videos, you really should start using these tricks to help AI notice and recommend your stuff. It’s like telling AI, "Hey, remember me for this topic!" and it actually does. The more you do this, the more people will find your videos when they ask AI for help.

So, don’t wait around. Start tweaking your videos with these tips today. Keep it simple, make sure AI knows what your videos are about, and pretty soon, you could be the first name that pops up when someone needs an expert. Give it a go!
