Definition
Video SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing video content to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) and video platform search results. Key video SEO techniques include adding accurate titles, descriptions, and tags; providing closed captions and full transcripts (which search engines can index); using structured data markup (VideoObject schema); optimizing thumbnails for click-through rate; managing video sitemaps; and ensuring fast page load times. With Google displaying video results in 26% of search queries, video SEO is critical for content discoverability.
