The Missing Half of YouTube SEO

The plain-English guide to getting your videos found, read and cited by Google, Bing and AI answer engines — the search surfaces that YouTube optimization never touches. Covers the three engines ranking your topic, the Citation Gap and how to measure your own, why a creator website out-earns a channel page, what RPM actually pays by niche, the ad-campaign watch time that cannot count toward monetization, and a four-week plan. Written for YouTube creators with a library behind them.
