Video transcription: a powerful marketing tool for Google SEO and Youtube videos
How to optimize your videos for search engines?
Three hundred hours of videos are uploaded online each minute on Youtube. It would take more than 1,000 years for one person to watch all videos (without taking into account videos that will be uploaded tomorrow). The video is an excellent SEO opportunity on Google. Google shows more and more in its results: news, images… and videos.
With the multiplication of online videos, companies innovate in order to optimize the visibility of their videos. Unless you have highly attractive video or supported by a communication campaign, you will hardly compete with millions of videos.
