Video SEO Services

How Video Affects SEO

An effective SEO strategy needs to include video. People love to watch videos online, and if you can’t fill that need with engaging content that entertains and educates, you can be sure the competition will.

Google’s search engine algorithms are now able to parse through video content and identify key on-screen elements that searchers need to know. Additionally, the on-page elements that surround a video play key roles in how the content is crawled, indexed and served to users.

If your SEO marketing campaigns don’t account for video, you’re already starting off at a disadvantage.

Video SEO Ranking Factors

Just like traditional SEO, marketers should keep certain ranking factors in mind when
designing their video strategy. Here are some of the most prominent search signals search engine crawlers look for when indexing videos:

Total video views.

Video watch time.

Keyword phrases in titles, closed captions, tags, descriptions, categories and channel pages.

Video length that matches searcher intent.

User engagement (liking, sharing, commenting, subscribing, clicking).

YouTube, the world’s largest video hosting platform, is owned by Google, the
world’s largest search engine. And Google SERPs directly feature YouTube videos
on Page 1, with rich descriptions, links and on-SERP playback.

Despite competing head-to-head with Google, Bing also embeds YouTube videos directly into its SERPs. So, regardless of which search engine your customers prefer, the connection between high-quality video content and its impact on SEO is enormous.

Your marketing strategy is incomplete without video – search engines and prospects will take notice.
