How to use TubeBuddy: step-by-step tutorial
Five to eight steps from the account to a first useful result. Where the official guide names a control, the step uses that name. Where it does not, the step stays general.
- Create an account at tubebuddy.com and sign in with the Google account that owns your channel.
- Use the keyword and search tools to check how people search for your topic.
- Write the title and tags from that research, and use the chapter editor to add chapters.
- Before you publish, run the best practice audit on the upload.
- If you later change many videos at once, use the bulk tools on the paid plans.
These steps follow the official guide: TubeBuddy pricing.
