I’ve already written about how often generative AI tools cite Reddit. But YouTube is just as important. YouTube videos often rank high in Google search results. This makes it easy for AI tools like AI Mode and ChatGPT to find and cite their URLs.

Here’s how to make YouTube videos easier for generative AI tools to find and cite.

SEO for YouTube

Regular search engine rankings are the most reliable way to get an AI citation. I’ve seen many videos get cited even when they rank poorly in regular search results. But I haven’t seen a video with a high search ranking that doesn’t get cited. This means traditional search engine optimization (SEO) should be the first priority for getting noticed by generative AI tools.

Use Google Search Console to verify your YouTube channel and track how well it performs in regular search results. Then make sure you do the following:

  • Give every YouTube video a detailed title that includes your main target keyword.
  • Write detailed video descriptions. Include the main points, questions the video answers, and short biographies of the speakers. Adding timestamps can also help.
  • Get other pages to link to your YouTube videos. Add links to the videos on your own website using regular text links, not just embedded videos. Also, feature videos on your YouTube channel's home page to make them easier to find.

ChatGPT

David Konitzny, a researcher at the analytics company Peec AI, believes ChatGPT uses a YouTube ranking system that gives more importance to videos with more views. It also looks at how many subscribers a channel has and whether the channel is verified. Verified channels receive more citations.

He found that one-third of ChatGPT citations came from channels with 1,000 followers and 10 million total views.

David also says ChatGPT mainly looks at YouTube video titles and descriptions. It does not focus on the full video transcript.

He also noticed a link between updating YouTube video descriptions and getting cited by AI Mode. Videos with more description updates were found by AI more often. This makes sense. AI Mode can read full video transcripts, but detailed, well-organized descriptions are easier for it to find and use.

Still, very few videos have detailed descriptions. Many do not even come close to YouTube's 5,000-character limit. At the very least, you should:

  • Add questions and answers covered in the video.
  • Include the speakers' names and job titles.
  • Explain the speakers' personal experience with the topic. AI platforms value real-world experience and personal opinions.
  • Include important numbers mentioned in the video, such as prices, sales volumes, and growth figures.
