Tab 6: Optimization Checklist

A reusable video-quality and performance-review checklist divided into three stages.

Pre-publish checklist

Review titles, target keywords, thumbnails, descriptions, tags, opening hooks, pacing, background music, calls to action, end screens, and related-video cards.

Post-publish review

Use the checklist 24–48 hours after uploading to review impressions, CTR, average view duration, retention drop-off points, comments, and opportunities for cross-promotion.

Weekly optimization sprint

Complete a recurring review of thumbnail variations, retention patterns, CTR, audience demographics, traffic sources, editing techniques, and future video ideas.

This worksheet helps turn every upload into an opportunity to learn, evaluate performance, and improve your next video.
