# YouTube Marketing & Video SEO

> YouTube marketing turns your expertise into videos people find when they search for help. We plan how-to, project and FAQ videos, optimize titles, descriptions, chapters and captions, set up your channel and playlists, cut Shorts from longer videos, and embed each video on the matching page of your website.

A two-minute video that answers a common question can bring customers for years.
