SERP Features

What are Shorts on YouTube?

A Short is a vertical video of up to 3 minutes. YouTube shows Shorts in their own shelf between the regular search results, often several shelves on one results page.

For example, searching "travel to denmark" shows a "Shorts" shelf with several short videos, as in the screenshots below.

How AccuRanker tracks Shorts

AccuRanker records each Short in a shelf as its own result, so you can see how many Shorts YouTube shows for a keyword and where they appear. This works for both desktop and mobile results.

Your own Shorts

Shorts from your own YouTube channel are marked as owned, on desktop and mobile.

Where you find it

The Short SERP feature shows in the keyword table, the SERP feature filters, graphs and the API (youtube_short and youtube_short_owned).
