QuestionHow can we get our video on the top of the search list?Community AnswerIt's usually sorted by View Count or amount of likes/dislikes, along with relevance to search name. If someone looks up dog, it'll show the videos with the most views and likes/dislikes first. However if they're more specific, looking up something like a tutorial on dogs or other things to do with dogs if you're title is most relevant to their search than you have a higher chance of being found. Lastly tags play a big role on what people find when they search, make sure to put relevant content words in the tags and people will have a higher chance of finding your video.
