Do YouTube tags still matter?

While less critical than title and thumbnail, tags still help YouTube's algorithm understand your content and correctly categorize it, especially for misspelled or niche search terms.

How many tags should I use?

YouTube allows up to 500 characters for tags. It's best to use a mix of broad categories and highly specific long-tail phrases that match exactly what users might type into the search bar.
