I heard about some new tools popping up frequently, do you guys keep track of the latest ones?
I just stick to brainstorming tags based on what people would search. Sometimes simple works better than fancy tools.
Is there a way to check which tags competitors use without going through the source code?
Anyone recommend a tool that also analyzes video content to suggest tags? Like some AI that watches the vid?
Anyone tried AI-based tools for this? Heard some can analyze your video and suggest tags pretty accurately.
I've been using a few tag generators and honestly, they save me a ton of time. But sometimes the suggestions are kinda generic, so I usually tweak them before adding.
Be careful with any tool that asks for your YouTube login info. Security first!
Does anyone know if YouTube's own tag suggestions while you upload are any good? I find them kinda limited.
Sometimes I just type in the search bar what I think people would search and use those as tags.
I've noticed that too many irrelevant tags can hurt your video's performance. So be careful to keep it relevant!
Don't forget to check your YouTube analytics to see which tags seem to be driving traffic.
Honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming with so many options. I just try a few and stick to what works.
I tried a couple of free tag tools but they sometimes suggest irrelevant stuff, so watch out!
Just a tip, try to include tags that cover different aspects of your video topic, not just the main keyword.
I use a combo of keyword research tools and watching what similar popular videos use, then mix those tags in.
Some AI tools can help even with description and title along with tags—makes your video more discoverable overall.
