Frequently Asked Questions
Why should YouTube Shorts titles be under 45 characters?
Mobile devices display only the first 40-45 characters of Shorts titles. Longer titles get cut off with "..." which reduces click-through rates and engagement.
Do emojis help YouTube Shorts titles perform better?
Yes! Emojis make titles more visually appealing in mobile feeds and can increase click-through rates by 15-25%. Use 1-3 relevant emojis per title for best results.
What makes a YouTube Shorts title go viral?
Viral Shorts titles create curiosity gaps, use trending language, include emotional triggers, and are optimized for mobile viewing. They often start with "POV:", "This...", or ask compelling questions.
Can I change my Shorts title after uploading?
Yes, you can edit Shorts titles anytime through YouTube Studio. However, major changes might temporarily affect performance as the algorithm re-evaluates your content.
Should I include keywords in Shorts titles?
Yes, but prioritize engagement over SEO for Shorts. Include 1-2 relevant keywords naturally while maintaining the punchy, attention-grabbing style that performs well in the Shorts feed.
