Video SEO Ranking Factors

Just like traditional SEO, marketers should keep certain ranking factors in mind when designing their video strategy. Here are some of the most prominent search signals search engine crawlers look for when indexing videos:

Total video views.

Video watch time.

Keyword phrases in titles, closed captions, tags, descriptions, categories and channel pages.

Video length that matches searcher intent.

User engagement (liking, sharing, commenting, subscribing, clicking).

In addition to these factors, leveraging YouTube analytics can provide deeper insights into viewer behaviour and preferences. YouTube, the world’s largest video hosting platform, is owned by Google, the world’s largest search engine. 

Google SERPs feature YouTube videos on Page 1, with rich descriptions, links and on-SERP playback, highlighting the importance of YouTube video SEO.

Despite competing head-to-head with Google, Bing also embeds YouTube videos directly into its SERPs. So, regardless of which search engine your customers prefer, the connection between high-quality video content and its impact on SEO is enormous. Incorporating video optimisation techniques, such as crafting compelling video descriptions and optimising video tags, can significantly improve your video ranking.

Your marketing strategy is incomplete without video – search engines and prospects will take notice. By utilising professional video SEO services and partnering with a YouTube SEO agency like Brafton, you can enhance your online visibility and reach a broader audience.
