Video SEO Optimisation
- Add meta data information while uploading - title and description for your videos.
- Add links to your website
- Create a video sitemap and upload the video sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools
Video Sitemap Requirements (Google)
- Title: This should be the same as the title of the page your video appears
- Description: Make this exactly match the meta description of your page
- Play Page URL: The canonical URL of the page your video appears
- Thumbnail URL: By thumbnail they mean a high resolution image up to 1920x 1080
- Raw video location/URL: This URL is found in the embed src link you find when you go to share a video and click embed.
