Do YouTube Tags Still Matter?

Yes! While titles and descriptions carry more weight for SEO, tags are still a valuable piece of metadata. They help YouTube understand the context of your video, link it to similar content, and surface it for common misspellings. Think of tags as a safety net that ensures your video gets categorized correctly.

πŸ”— Suggested Videos

Using similar tags to popular videos in your niche can increase your chances of appearing in their "Suggested Videos" sidebar.

❌ Fix Misspellings

People often make typos when searching. Tags allow you to include common misspellings (e.g., "recipie" vs "recipe") so you don't miss out on traffic.

🏷️ Categorization

Tags help the algorithm understand if your video is about "Apple" the fruit or "Apple" the tech company.
