How to Optimize Videos• Specific, Compelling Title –Would you click on “Our
Company” or “V00023.mov?” neither will your audience. Use “Video” and change the file name too!
• Description - Say as much as you can in the first sentence or two, because many video sites will hide the bulk of your description. Include at least one link placed at the start of the description (with http://).
• Tags –This is where you can help your video appear in the “Suggested” or “Similar” videos section.
• Video Quality / Resolution – Shoot, edit and export the video in the highest quality available on the devices and software you use. The online video audience is very forgiving of skill level, but a low resolution video can make it difficult to see what is going on.
• Thumbnail Image – Pick the most visually compelling of the options they give you.

How to Optimize Videos (cont.)• Must have a video sitemap. Always include the
title of the video, detailed description, URL of the video, URL of the thumbnail and URL of the video’s landing page. More details at http://bit.ly/video-sitemap
• Include a transcript of the video on both your page and on the video host (YouTube) – most likely the description field.
• Use microdata in your video’s description and tags on your webpage.
• Limit one video to a page to maximize your SEO benefits.
• If at all possible, include the text of each video in the form of closed captioning. That way it can be appreciated by the hearing impaired and those that do not want to turn up the volume at their workplace.
