How WordPress Video SEO Plugin Improves Your Search Engine Ranking

If you regularly publish posts with videos in it, you have probably seen by now that most of your videos don’t even show up in the search results. It can be frustrating for you since you spent so much time just to produce a video. Sometimes the videos do show up but as general “video results”. But that’s not what you want. You want the videos to be part of the post/page content and display it in the search results accordingly. Well, WordPress Video SEO plugin will help you with that.

It will make it easy for the search engine bot to crawl through your videos and index them like normal post/page content. In fact you get the following benefits:

  • Search engines will show more interest in your post/page since there are videos embedded in it (obviously the videos need to be related to the content)
  • When your post/page ranks in the search results there will also be a video thumbnail with it showing users that the post/page contains a video. It makes users feel more confident by giving you a higher click rate.

    Nice plugin but as other mentioned, when the YT video doesn’t have any likes, the plugin doesn’t close the tag and the sitemap shows an error in GWT. This is a major problem. Please fix it!!!
    Thank you!

    Hi There,

    I have a question.

    Does it conflict with 1 click video ranker WP plugin?

      @Vo Dang Tung, It shouldn’t really conflict with any plugin. All it does is create a xml file which you can submit to Google Webmaster to get your videos indexed.

    Hey,

    thanks for the plugin it works like said!

    But how can i cange the Description and Titel in the XML Sitemap, because there are YouTube urls and not Text like this:

    https://youtube.com/devicesupport

    https://youtube.com/devicesupport http://m.youtube.com

    And do you see a chance to support Shortcodes in Custom fields or maybe do you have got a hint how to do this?

    Greetz,
    Marius
