Optimize a YouTube video for search and discovery:

Video topic: {{topic}}
Target keyword: {{target_keyword}}
Video length: {{video_length}}
Channel niche: {{channel_niche}}
Current subscriber count: {{subscriber_count}}
Competitors for this keyword: [2-3 COMPETING VIDEOS]

Generate:

1. **Title** (3 options):
   - Include target keyword near the front
   - Under 60 characters
   - Use power words (Ultimate, Complete, Proven, Secret)
   - Create curiosity gap or promise clear value

2. **Description** (5000 char version):
   - First 2 lines: keyword-rich hook (this shows in search results)
   - Timestamps/chapters for all major sections
   - Links: website, social, related videos
   - Full keyword paragraph (natural, not stuffed)
   - Hashtags (3-5 relevant)

3. **Tags**: 15-20 tags (mix of broad and long-tail)

4. **Thumbnail strategy**:
   - Text overlay suggestion (max 5 words)
   - Emotion/expression to convey
   - Color scheme (high contrast, stands out in suggested feed)
   - Layout (face + text + context element)

5. **Chapters/Timestamps**: Structured for both YouTube UI and Google search featured snippets

6. **End screen strategy**: What to recommend next (playlist or specific video)

7. **First 30 seconds script**: Optimized for retention (hook → payoff promise → "stick around")

8. **Comment pinning**: Write a pinned comment that drives engagement
