YouTube allows 100 characters, but mobile shows only the first 40–60. Put the main keyword and the curiosity hook at the start.

FAQ
Do keywords still matter on YouTube?
Yes, especially for new channels: keywords get videos found through search before YouTube has enough data to recommend them. Long term, click-through rate and watch time matter more.
Is there a free YouTube keyword tool?
DeepNiche gives new accounts free trial runs, and you can test niche research on the home page without signing up.
