YouTube can help your website show up more in search results. This article walks you through how to make the most of your videos for SEO.
YouTube is one of the biggest search engines in the world, and it’s owned by Google. That means your videos can show up in both YouTube and Google search results. When used smartly, YouTube can help more people find your business, drive traffic to your website, and improve your overall SEO.
Here’s how:
-
Use keywords in your video titles and descriptions. Think about what people are typing into search when they want to learn something or solve a problem. Use that kind of language in your titles and descriptions to help your videos get found.
-
Add links to your website. Always include a direct link (starting with
https://) to your website near the top of your video description. This makes it easy for people to click and learn more. -
Embed videos on your website. When you add a YouTube video to a page or blog post, it keeps people on your site longer. This can boost your SEO.
-
Use captions. Captions help viewers follow along, and they also give search engines more text to understand what your video is about.
