The Best Practices will scan your video for specific issues.
For one of my videos, I didn't add cards to my videos.
You can click on each issue to see a detailed explanation for how TubeBuddy thinks you can improve.
Found opportunities
Found Opportunities is my favorite tool. Here are some recommendations I saw, for some of my other videos.
- Add cards to your video before a drop in Audience Retention. There's a 15% drop in audience retention from the 58-second to the 1 minute 30 second mark.
- Respond to Comments on this video
- Add search phrases as tags that are driving traffic to this video with a list of actual keywords people used to access my video.
Next Steps
The TubeBuddy Best Practice Audit is a little hidden and not many people know about it. That's unfortunate because it gives many completely personalized recommendations on how to improve individual videos.
