Why Your YouTube Videos Aren’t Showing at the Top (And How to Fix It)


These days, YouTube is more than just a place to watch videos. It's the world’s second-biggest search engine—right behind Google.




Whether you're a YouTuber, small business owner, or marketer, being seen on YouTube is a must if you want to grow.


But many people ask the same thing:


❓ “Why are my videos not showing up at the top?”



You create great videos. You spend time editing. You pick a solid thumbnail. But still—no views, no likes, no growth.


What’s wrong? 
Let me tell you: making good content is only step one.  
If your videos aren't optimized for search, they can get buried.  
Even great videos won't do well without solid YouTube SEO and the right keywords.
I’m Michael. With 15+ years of experience as a YouTube SEO and growth expert,  

I help creators rank higher and gain real results.

 

In this simple guide, I’ll explain:

 
✅ Why your videos aren’t showing

✅ What you can fix today

✅ How I can help grow your channel with proper video SEO


Let’s dive in.


🔍 How the YouTube Algorithm Works

YouTube doesn’t promote random videos. It shows videos based on:


  • What people search for
  • Watch time (how long people watch)
  • Click-through rate (how often people click your video)
  • Engagement (likes, comments, shares)
  • Tags, titles, descriptions, and thumbnails




If YouTube doesn’t understand what your video is about, it won’t push it to viewers.


You need to optimize every video. That’s where SEO comes in.
🛑 Why Your Videos Don’t Rank
Are your videos stuck with low views?
Here are the most common reasons:
🚫 You’re Using the Wrong Keywords
You need to use words your audience is searching for. Guessing isn't enough.
😕 Your Title and Description Aren’t Optimized
A catchy title isn’t enough. It also needs the right keywords in the right places.
❌ You Skipped Tags or Used the Wrong Ones
Tags help YouTube see your topic. Wrong or missing tags = lost views.
🧩 No Hashtags or Extra Keywords (LSI)
Related phrases (called LSI keywords) help your video reach more people.
📉 No Cards or End Screens
These features keep people watching your videos and boost your ranking.
🚫 Inconsistent Posting or Weak Branding
YouTube cares about consistent content. Channels with poor branding don’t grow fast.
📉 You’re Not Sharing Your Videos
If you’re not promoting your video on social media, you’re missing out.
🧠 What Is Video SEO?
Video SEO means setting up your video so YouTube can rank it better. It helps your video show up in:

  • Search results
  • Suggested videos
  • Home feeds

It includes:


  • Researching good keywords
  • Writing smart titles and tags
  • Boosting video structure to hold attention

SEO gives YouTube the signals it needs to promote your content.


✔ My Proven YouTube SEO Process
Here’s how I help clients get more views ⬇

1️⃣ Keyword Research
We find top keywords your audience searches for—low competition, high volume.
Tools used: TubeBuddy, Google Trends, SEMrush, and more.

2️⃣ Optimizing Titles, Descriptions & Tags
We restructure your titles and descriptions to match search intent.

3️⃣ Link Your Social Profiles
We help add your socials (Instagram, TikTok, etc.) in your video and channel.

4️⃣ Use Playlists & Relevant Links
Smart playlists increase watch time and help organize your videos.

5️⃣ Add LSI Keywords
These are similar phrases that YouTube understands. They broaden your visibility.

6️⃣ Add Hashtags
Relevant hashtags improve visibility in search results.

7️⃣ Check What’s Working for Competitors
We analyze top videos in your niche and use their proven tags and topics.

8️⃣ Improve "Related Video" Setup
We structure metadata so your video appears next to trending videos (more views!).

9️⃣ Add Cards & End Screens
Cards suggest more of your content while viewers are still watching. End screens finish strong.

🔟 Encourage Subscribing
We add calls to action that gently push users to subscribe.
✅ This full service includes a FREE Channel Growth Report—just send me your link.

🔑 Why Keyword Research Matters So Much
Here’s an example:
You make a video titled "Fitness for Busy Moms."
Only 20 people a month search for that phrase.
But if you updated it to "Home Workouts for Moms," you tap into 4,000 searches per month.
Small changes like that turn low-view videos into top-ranking success.
That’s the power of research. And I do it all for you.
