Chapters and timestamps on every video — pulled from the transcript, written for SEO
You have a channel with 50, 100, or 200 videos and none of them have chapters in the description. The cost: YouTube does not show Key Moments in the player, Google does not pull Video Chapters into search results, and every video gets less exposure than it could. I pull the transcript for each video, identify 3-15 chapter breaks, and write a short keyword-aware title for each one. From ₪20 per video for large channels.
Why timestamps lift channel views
- ✓ YouTube only shows "Key Moments" inside the player when the description has 3+ chapters in the right format — visual real estate on the watch page
- ✓ Google pulls those chapters into search results as Video Chapters — a second piece of SERP real estate beyond just YouTube
- ✓ A viewer who skips between chapters watches longer overall — watch time rises 15-25%, which feeds YouTube's recommendation algorithm
- ✓ Every chapter is a second keyword opportunity — a video on "SEO" can have chapters on "keyword research", "on-page", "link building", each one a separate ranking
- ✓ For a channel with 50+ videos, ROI is immediate: every video gets a lift at once, with no new content to film
Adding timestamps to a YouTube video properly is an editorial job, not five copy-pasted lines from the transcript. The work runs in three passes: pull YouTube's auto-transcript (or transcribe from scratch when the auto fails, which happens on roughly 40% of Hebrew videos), find the real topic breaks where viewers might jump, then write a 3-7 word chapter title that matches what someone would type into search.
The format YouTube requires for Key Moments is strict: the first chapter must start at 0:00, there must be at least 3 chapters, each chapter must be at least 10 seconds long. Videos that miss any of those rules just do not get the treatment — and that is the difference between Key Moments showing and not showing in the player.
Beyond chapters the work also rewrites the opening description (350-500 words, natural keywords, links to related videos and your channel) and refreshes tags. Nothing new gets filmed. The whole point is extracting more search exposure from videos you already uploaded years ago.
Manual transcription when auto fails
When YouTube's auto-transcript is bad (common in Hebrew), I transcribe by hand with professional software. The base price covers it — no surprise add-on.
Chapter titles written for SEO
Each chapter title carries a real search phrase, which is what gets the chapter pulled into Google as a Video Chapter result.
Description and tags refreshed
You get a new opening description (not just chapters), refreshed tags, and a recommended title swap if the existing one is weak.

FAQ
My videos are in Hebrew — will YouTube detect the chapters?
Yes. YouTube supports Video Chapters in every language including Hebrew. Chapters appear in the description and the player, and Google shows them in Hebrew search results too.
What if YouTube's auto-transcript is unusable?
In Hebrew the auto-transcript is unusable about 40% of the time. In that case I transcribe from scratch by hand — the price stays the same, the transcription cost is bundled into the base.
How fast do results show up?
YouTube starts showing Key Moments within 24-48 hours of the chapter update. Google takes 7-14 days to surface Video Chapters in search. Watch-time lift starts inside 14 days.
Can I do just my best-performing videos?
Yes. The smallest package is 10 videos. Pick the ones already getting the most views — that is the fastest path to a measurable bump.
