youtube-publishing-and-metadata

A format-execution skill — write the YouTube publish metadata (title, description+chapters, tags) and set category/privacy/madeForKids. The agent writes the metadata + config; the video FILE + script are inputs; WoopSocial publishes via the YouTube fields; the thumbnail + A/B testing are native Studio.

The POV: YouTube is a search engine; metadata is the launchpad

YouTube is the 2nd-largest search engine (~27% of traffic from search, ~70% from recommendations — both metadata-fed), and metadata is what it reads before user behavior kicks in: the launchpad that lets a good video compound for years. But be honest — retention keeps it ranking; metadata gets you discovered, it doesn't guarantee a rank. The title does two jobs at once (rank via the keyword + earn the click), the description's above-the-fold lines carry the most weight, tags are a minor signal now (get the first one right), and madeForKids is a legal flag, not a reach lever.

Read these first

1. brand-profile — niche/voice + how the audience searches.
2. goals-and-kpis — the goal (search reach / subscribers / watch time).
3. the script/video (often from youtube-long-form/youtube-shorts).
