1. Tags
    • Used behind the scenes in the video upload settings.
    • Help YouTube’s algorithm understand the topic and context of the video.
    • Assist in improving search ranking and aligning the video with suggested content. While tags have less impact than before, they’re still helpful in enhancing visibility.
    • Example: If your video is about “Digital Marketing Trends in Kochi,” tags like digital marketing Kochi, online marketing Kerala, SEO Kochi, Kochi business growth improve relevance.
  2. Hashtags
    • Displayed directly in the video title or description.
    • Make it easier for viewers to find related videos when they click on a hashtag.
    • Hashtags show up above the video title or in the description as clickable links.
    • Example: Adding #DigitalMarketingKochi, #SEOTips, or #MarketingTrends helps users discover your content when they search for relevant topics.

Both tags and hashtags can work together to enhance the discoverability of videos, though hashtags have become more effective in improving user engagement and searchability.
