Published 2026-03-16 · ai-mp4.com

Video content appears in 62% of Google searches. Optimizing your videos for search can drive massive organic traffic.

Video SEO Fundamentals

  1. Title: Include target keyword in first 60 characters
  2. Description: 200+ words with keywords, timestamps, and links
  3. Thumbnail: Custom, high-contrast, with text overlay
  4. Tags: 5-10 relevant tags including exact match keyword
  5. Captions/Subtitles: Always include — Google can read them

Technical Optimization

Use MP4 with H.264 codec for universal compatibility. Keep file sizes reasonable — use our Video Compressor to optimize before upload. Add VideoObject schema markup to pages with embedded videos.
