Ranking on YouTube Search: How My DET Video Became an SEO Case Study

YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world, yet most creators ignore search-driven growth. My DET (Duolingo English Test) video proves that SEO-first content works.

With YouTube Search as the primary traffic source, this video ranked high by:

  • Optimizing title, tags, & description for competitive keywords
  • Using metadata & closed captions to enhance discoverability
  • Crafting a retention-friendly script to keep viewers engaged (31.5% average watch time)

This wasn’t just a video. It was a YouTube SEO experiment that paid off.
