If you're the channel's manager, you can associate your official website with the YouTube Channel. This lets you incorporate signals from your website's page rank on www.google.com into YouTube’s search algorithm.

2. Click Add.
3. Confirm the association in Google Search Console by following the instructions on how to choose a verification method.

You can opt in to have your YouTube channel listed on other channels that your potential viewers might be watching. This section is called "Related channels" and it displays on the right side of channel pages while viewers are using YouTube on computers. Learn how to opt in to channel recommendations.

You can have the shortened version of your custom URL redirect your audience to another channel. Just put the URL you'd like to have your shortened URL redirect to in the Redirect URL field.

Important: Redirect URLs are only available to partners and advertisers who've had this feature enabled by their partner manager or sales representative.

For example, if your URL is www.youtube.com/c/YouTubeCreators, you can have your shortened URL (www.youtube.com/YouTubeCreators) send viewers to the YouTube Nation channel by entering www.youtube.com/user/youtubenation or www.youtube.com/channel/UCUD4yDVyM54QpfqGJX4S7ng in the Redirect URL field.

You can redirect people who are visiting your channel to another channel based on their language, location, age, or gender.

Important: Conditional redirects are only available to partners and advertisers who've had this feature enabled by their partner manager or sales representative.

For each row, you can add a rule to set the conditional redirect. Rules are matched from top to bottom and the first rule that matches a user is applied. Here are the rules you can apply:

• Language and location: Specified by full or partial locales (en_us, en_, or _us).
• Ages: Specified by a comparison (<, <=, >, >=) and a number.
• Gender: Specified with m or f.
• Destination: Either a channel name or _block. Users that match the _block destination will be redirected to /Channels.
