SEO is about search. And not even a specialist realizes this. But does he know that search is not only text, but also video, which can also be ranked thanks to the same SEO approach that we use to promote articles on the Internet. The basis of ranking is a search query from a visitor who wants to find something. This query, a keyword, can be used both in the text of the article and in the title of the video. But this is not enough for the video. Therefore, the new timestamp features for YouTube videos will help to complement the list of keywords by which the video will be ranked. All in order to be found!
Google has updated its structured video reference document with new information on the latest improvements to video search results.
The updated document contains detailed information on how to make timestamps on YouTube videos, how to track performance in the search console, as well as more screenshots to show new types of structured data in action.
