“SEO is dead on YouTube.”
Is it though?
Let’s look at the data 👇
On Think Media, 71% of our Shorts views came from Search.
That’s not a theory.
That’s not an opinion.
That’s analytics.
And that equals 17.5 MILLION views.
Dead?
17.5 million views doesn’t sound dead to me.
Here’s the mistake creators make:
They confuse “harder than before” with “dead.”
They confuse “not viral” with “not valuable.”
Search traffic is intent-based.
It’s viewers actively looking for answers.
And when your video ranks?
You don’t chase views.
Views find you.
SEO isn’t dead.
It’s just misunderstood.
If you know how to use it, it’s still one of the most powerful traffic sources on YouTube.
