Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal YouTube title length?▼
The ideal YouTube title length is between 40–60 characters. This range ensures your title is descriptive enough for SEO while short enough to display fully on most devices.
What happens if my YouTube title is too long?▼
YouTube truncates titles that exceed approximately 70 characters, replacing the end with '...' in search results, recommendations, and mobile views. This can hide important keywords and reduce click-through rates.
Does title length affect YouTube SEO?▼
Yes. While YouTube doesn't penalize longer titles directly, truncated titles may receive fewer clicks, which indirectly affects your video's performance in the algorithm.
