Video SEO: How to Get Your Videos Found in Search

Video SEO covers the practices that help your videos actually get found — clear, specific titles and descriptions, accurate transcripts or captions, and choosing the right platform and hosting for how you want the video discovered.

A great video that nobody can find through search provides far less value than a good video that's genuinely discoverable.

Titles and descriptions that clearly and specifically describe the video's content — not vague or overly clever titles — help both search engines and viewers understand what the video actually offers.

Captions and transcripts give search engines text content to index and understand, which plain video content alone doesn't provide, and they also improve accessibility for viewers.

Embedding videos directly on your website alongside supporting text content helps both the video and the surrounding page perform better in search than a video hosted only on a social platform.

Choosing the right platform for the audience you're trying to reach also matters — search-driven discovery works differently across YouTube, social platforms, and your own website.
