Are Google keywords different from keywords on YouTube? Absolutely they are. So if you're doing an SEO project for your website, you're going to do keyword research using a tool like SEMrush or Ahrefs. If you're doing keyword research for YouTube, you're going to use something called vidIQ or TubeBuddy. These 2 tools have specific keywords that are searched and monitored and watched for video production on YouTube because people search differently on YouTube than they do on Google. And so depending upon where you're doing your SEO, you want to be sure to have the right tool or make sure that your SEO consultant, someone like me, has the right tool so they're not giving you the wrong information.
