Video SEO (youtube seo) — Optimizing titles, descriptions and tags so videos get found in search.

Video SEO is the practice of making your videos discoverable — through keyword-rich titles, descriptions, tags and thumbnails that match what people search for. On YouTube especially, search and suggested traffic compound for years.

For faceless creators it's a major lever: because you publish at volume, ranking even a fraction of your library for evergreen searches can drive steady, passive views.
