Refresh titles and descriptions on older videos that still get searched
The problem
Old videos that still get some search traffic can often do better with a clearer title and description. It's quick work with a small but steady payoff.
What AI does
AI suggests clearer title options and a new description opening for an older video, based on what it covers and the search terms that already bring viewers. You pick one and update videos one by one.
Time
The steps, in short

- Have AI suggest alternative titles and a sharper first two lines.
- Update one video, then compare its numbers a few weeks later.
