YouTube\u2019s algorithm can seem mysterious, especially when your new channel\u2019s videos get buried with hardly any traction. But here\u2019s the honest truth: YouTube doesn\u2019t automatically know what your content is about or who should see it when your channel is brand new. The good news? YouTube actually reveals how to fix this using metadata and some hidden settings most creators don\u2019t even know exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll walk you through three secret <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/intl\/en_us\/creators\/partner-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">YouTube Studio settings<\/a> that teach the algorithm exactly who you are, what your channel is about, and who should see your videos. Implementing these can help your channel get recommended to the right audience and start growing views, all in under two minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#why-new-channels-struggle-with-views\" rel=\"nofollow\">Why new channels struggle with views<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#introducing-the-3-secret-settings-that-boost-your-channel\" rel=\"nofollow\">Introducing the 3 secret settings that boost your channel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#how-these-settings-work-together\" rel=\"nofollow\">How these settings work together<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#what\u2019s-next-after-getting-recommended?\" rel=\"nofollow\">What\u2019s next after getting recommended?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#final-thoughts-on-this-youtube-algorithm-hack\" rel=\"nofollow\">Final thoughts on this youtube algorithm hack<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<section class=\"blog-cta-global\">\n    <div><\/div>\n    <article>\n        <header>\n<!--DONT EDIT THIS IMAMGE-->\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tubebuddy_by_BENlabs_logo_on_dark_bg.svg\" \/>\n        <\/header>\n        \n<!--EDIT INFO FROM HERE DOWN-->\n        \n        \n<!--HEADER-->\n        <h3>\n            Get an unfair advantage on YouTube\n        <\/h3>\n        \n        \n<!--DESCRIPTION-->\n        <p>\n            Give your YouTube channel the upper hand and easily optimize for more views, more subs, and more of every metric that matters.\n        <\/p>\n        \n<!--CTA LINK &amp; TEXT-->\n        <section>\n            \n    <!--LINK-->\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/pricing?utm_source=site&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=blog-cta&amp;utm_id=standard-cta\">\n                \n    <!--TEXT-->\n                get started\n            <\/a>\n        <\/section>\n        \n<!--BOTTOM IMAGE (REMOVE SRC IF NONE)-->\n  \n     <img \/> \n   \n        \n    <\/article>\n<\/section>\t\t<style>.blog-cta-global{\n    width: 100%;\n    max-width: 800px!important;\n    border-radius: 12px;\n    box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 4px 12px;\n    background-image: url('https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bg_triangle_green_light_gray-1.png');\n    position: relative;\n    background-size: 300px;\n    background-repeat: repeat;\n    caret-color: transparent;\n}\n\n.blog-cta-global div{\n    position: absolute;\n    height: 100%;\n    width: 100%;\n    background: red;\n    border-radius: 12px;\n    background: linear-gradient(#fafaff, rgba(250,250,255,0.80));\n    z-index: 2;\n}\n.blog-cta-global article{\n  position: relative;\n  z-index: 3;\n  padding-bottom: 5%;\n}\n.blog-cta-global header{\n    background: #0c1942;\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    border-top-left-radius: 12px;\n    border-top-right-radius: 12px;\n    padding: 10px;\n}\n.blog-cta-global header img{\n    width: 180px!important;\n}\n.blog-cta-global article h3{\n    margin: auto;\n    text-align: center;\n    width: 85%;\n    font-size: 40px;\n    padding: 20px;\n}\n.blog-cta-global article p{\n    margin: auto;\n    text-align: center;\n    width: 85%;\n    font-size: 25px;\n    padding-bottom: 20px;\n}\n\n.blog-cta-global article a{\n    padding: 15px 30px;\n    background: #4BEAD7;\n    color: black;\n    margin: auto;\n    font-weight: 600;\n    border-radius: 100px;\n}\n\n.blog-cta-global article section{\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    margin-bottom: 30px;\n}    \n.blog-cta-global article img{\n    width: 80%;\n    display: flex;\n    margin: auto;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 475px)  {\n    .blog-cta-global article h3{\n        font-size: 30px;\n        width: 100%;\n    }\n    .blog-cta-global article p{\n        font-size: 20px;\n    }\n}<\/style>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-new-channels-struggle-with-views\">Why new channels struggle with views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first launch a YouTube channel, the platform&#8217;s algorithm has no prior data to understand your content or your target audience. This means your videos often get buried because YouTube doesn\u2019t know how to categorize or recommend them. According to YouTube\u2019s own guidance, new channels need to rely heavily on metadata \u2014 including titles, descriptions, and other signals \u2014 to help the algorithm understand what your content is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without this metadata, YouTube struggles to match your videos with viewers who would be interested, causing your content to get lost in the vast sea of uploads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fcb001142-d338-475f-9ca1-547e0291f3ef.webp\" alt=\"YouTube algorithm hack - struggling to categorize new channel content\" class=\"wp-image-13690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fcb001142-d338-475f-9ca1-547e0291f3ef.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fcb001142-d338-475f-9ca1-547e0291f3ef-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fcb001142-d338-475f-9ca1-547e0291f3ef-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fcb001142-d338-475f-9ca1-547e0291f3ef-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fcb001142-d338-475f-9ca1-547e0291f3ef-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fcb001142-d338-475f-9ca1-547e0291f3ef-1568x882.webp 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"introducing-the-3-secret-settings-that-boost-your-channel\">Introducing the 3 secret settings that boost your channel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most creators focus on optimizing individual videos but miss three crucial settings that influence how YouTube perceives your entire channel. These settings act like a GPS for the YouTube algorithm, guiding it to recommend your videos to the right viewers. Here\u2019s what you need to set up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Channel keywords<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload default descriptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Default tags for every video<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s break down each one and show you how to use them effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Channel keywords: define your channel\u2019s identity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/intl\/en_us\/creators\/partner-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Channel keywords<\/a> are invisible keywords that describe your entire channel, not just individual videos. These keywords help YouTube understand your channel&#8217;s focus and the audience that should be targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add channel keywords:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click your profile photo in the top right corner of YouTube.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>YouTube Studio<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Settings<\/strong> from the left-hand menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Channel<\/strong>, then look for the <strong>Keywords<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many creators leave this section empty, but you shouldn\u2019t. Add broad keywords that represent your niche, such as <em>fitness<\/em> or <em>finance<\/em>. Then, include long-tail phrases that your target audience actually searches for, like <em>how to lose weight fast<\/em> or <em>home workout routines<\/em>. This combination helps YouTube pinpoint exactly what your channel offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2Fcea024fb-c844-4bbc-a2bb-190a4ca2c1f8.webp\" alt=\"Adding channel keywords in YouTube Studio settings - a YouTube algorithm hack\" class=\"wp-image-13692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2Fcea024fb-c844-4bbc-a2bb-190a4ca2c1f8.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2Fcea024fb-c844-4bbc-a2bb-190a4ca2c1f8-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2Fcea024fb-c844-4bbc-a2bb-190a4ca2c1f8-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2Fcea024fb-c844-4bbc-a2bb-190a4ca2c1f8-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2Fcea024fb-c844-4bbc-a2bb-190a4ca2c1f8-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2Fcea024fb-c844-4bbc-a2bb-190a4ca2c1f8-1568x882.webp 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro tip: With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/\">TubeBuddy browser extension<\/a>, you can even spy on other channels\u2019 keywords.

Use a mix of broad terms and long-tail phrases relevant to your niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>These tags will automatically be applied to every video you upload.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No more forgetting or manually adding tags each time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This consistent tagging helps YouTube better categorize your content early on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2F1d4341a2-3e07-47db-92a3-7cfe52fb490a.webp\" alt=\"Adding default tags in YouTube Studio upload defaults\" class=\"wp-image-13694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2F1d4341a2-3e07-47db-92a3-7cfe52fb490a.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2F1d4341a2-3e07-47db-92a3-7cfe52fb490a-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2F1d4341a2-3e07-47db-92a3-7cfe52fb490a-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2F1d4341a2-3e07-47db-92a3-7cfe52fb490a-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2F1d4341a2-3e07-47db-92a3-7cfe52fb490a-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2Fusers2FnVoWbGs1aKS92zPs8zdCNryep1b22Fblogs2FyKL2a8QlLekkhRQEdOFt2Fscreenshots2F1d4341a2-3e07-47db-92a3-7cfe52fb490a-1568x882.webp 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-these-settings-work-together\">How these settings work together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of these three settings as a GPS system for the YouTube algorithm.
