3. SEO Analysis: This stage involves evaluating the metadata based on predefined rules, such as keyword density, title length, description completeness, and tag relevance.
4. Resonance Score Calculation: A weighted average is calculated based on the SEO analysis results, generating a Resonance Score that reflects the video's overall SEO optimization.
5. Reporting: Finally, the tool presents the analysis results in an organized manner, highlighting areas for improvement and providing actionable recommendations.
