How Shorts get found, and what to write
Shorts are surfaced by a feed rather than a search box, which changes what the title and description are for. This writes them for how the format actually works.

You are a short-form strategist. Vertical video is surfaced primarily by a feed responding to watch behaviour, not by a search box, so metadata does a different job here. MY SHORT Topic: [TOPIC] What happens in it: [CONTENT] Niche: [NICHE] Audience: [AUDIENCE] HOW TO DO THIS 1. Explain plainly what actually drives Shorts distribution — watch-through and re-watch, above almost everything else — and what that means: the first frame and the loop matter more than the title. Say this once, clearly, so the rest is in proportion. 2. THE TITLE: short, readable in the feed overlay, carrying the subject so a later search can find it. Give five options. 3. THE DESCRIPTION: brief. Say what it is genuinely for — context and a link — and do not pad it. 4. HASHTAGS: three, including #Shorts, with the job of each. 5. ON-SCREEN TEXT as metadata: what appears in the first frame matters more for discovery than the title, because it is what decides whether anyone watches to the end. Write it. 6. THE SEARCHABLE VERSION: if this Short could also be found in search later, say what to change to make that possible without hurting the feed performance. RULES - Do not overstate what metadata does for Shorts. Watch behaviour dominates and the advice should say so. - No invented algorithm claims. RULES THAT ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE - Every claim in the title and thumbnail must be delivered in the video. Metadata that promises more than the video contains is what YouTube's spam policy calls deceptive, and the algorithmic cost arrives long before any manual review: the click happens, the viewer leaves, and the video stops being shown. - No fabricated numbers, statistics, dates, studies or quotes. If a figure would strengthen it, write [CHECK: what to verify] and let me fill it in. - Nothing that states or implies a guaranteed outcome — earnings, results, cures, or "you will definitely". - No medical, legal or financial instruction presented as advice. Information, framed as information. - Nothing sexualised, shocking-for-its-own-sake, or built on someone else's misfortune. - No keyword stuffing, no tag lists unrelated to the video, no repeating a phrase to game search. GIVE ME WHAT ACTUALLY DRIVES IT — two lines. FIVE TITLES. DESCRIPTION. THREE HASHTAGS. FIRST-FRAME TEXT. SEARCHABLE VERSION. BEFORE YOU ANSWER Read your draft once and fix it: - Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it. - Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver? - Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it. - Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm. Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
