When you are ready to post make sure you follow these tips for YouTube.
DON’T MESS WITH THE GOOGLE GODS
Yes they do use humans to verify that what is writing in the Title and Description are indeed in the videos. So don’t stuff your Title and Description with just a list of keywords. Use those words to make coherent and complete sentences, and make sure that they indeed have something to do with your video.
USE TITLE OR HEADLINE
“How to” is the most powerful way to start a title. Also include the word “Video” in your titles because people do search for it. Use this same title for your Blog post title. Make sure to KEYWORD the TITLES and SUBJECTS you are using, so they show up on search engines.
MAX OUT THE DESCRIPTION AREA
The description area is where the magic happens. Some things to keep in mind:
1) The first 25 words will be used by the search engine.
What that means is that if someone searches for a video these are the words used to find
a video.
2) You can add your web site Url in the description. Be sure to have the complete
url http:// so that it will be a direct link.
3) Include any major brands and topics with a link to their site, since this will help draw
traffic back to you when people search for them.
Below is a very good example (major keywords are underlined).

TAG! YOU’RE IT!
Just as above use keywords. And yes, you can use “HowTo” and “How To” as tags. Be sure to include the name of your restaurant.
THUMBNAILS
YouTube pulls these images from 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 time marks. Pick the best out of the three. NOTE: if you do change it, it does take about six (6) hours for it to switch over.
