Video SEO

Definition

Optimizing videos to rank in search — through titles, descriptions, tags, chapters, captions and watch-time signals.

Video SEO is the practice of making videos discoverable in YouTube and Google search. On-page factors include a keyword-led title, a descriptive first two lines, chapters and a full transcript via captions.

But watch time overrides everything — optimization gets the click; retention earns the ranking. See the YouTube SEO playbook.
