Give each video one clear search phrase in its title, deliver what it promises, and test three thumbnails in YouTube Studio.
YouTube ranks search on relevance, engagement and quality, so put the phrase in the title and the first lines of the description, then keep viewers watching. Design thumbnails in Canva or Photopea and upload up to 3 versions to YouTube Studio's A/B test. Let AI draft scripts and cut Shorts, mark realistic AI footage with the AI use setting, and avoid mass-produced AI videos, which YouTube does not monetise.
