What is Video SEO?

Video SEO is the practice of optimizing video content for discovery in search engines, platform search, and AI-powered search results through metadata, transcripts, and structured data.

Video SEO Explained

Video SEO encompasses both on-platform optimization (YouTube search, TikTok search) and web search optimization (Google video results, AI Overviews). Key on-platform factors include title keywords, description text, tags/hashtags, thumbnail CTR, watch time, and engagement rate. For web SEO, video pages need structured data (VideoObject schema), transcripts for indexability, proper Open Graph/Twitter Card meta tags, and fast page load times. AI search engines increasingly surface video content in answers, making video transcripts and descriptions important for AI citability. Caption text is indexable by search engines, making captioned videos more discoverable. BlitzReels generates captions and transcripts that improve both accessibility and SEO.
