No technical setup, no coding. Just better visibility.
Whether you’re an e-commerce store, educator, or publisher, Yoast Video SEO makes sure your videos work for you. It optimizes embedded videos for search, boosts click-through rates with rich results, and drives more traffic. All while you focus on creating great content.
How Yoast Video SEO helps publishers
Don’t let your videos go unseen
If your videos aren’t appearing in Google’s rich results, you’re missing out on traffic, engagement, and conversions. Yoast Video SEO solves this instantly by adding VideoObject schema, so Google can find, understand, and display your videos in search. Upload your video, add a title and description, and let Yoast do the heavy lifting.
Don’t let videos slow you down
Video content shouldn’t come at the cost of speed. Yoast Video SEO optimizes delivery with asynchronous JavaScript, ensuring your pages load quickly, even with videos. Faster pages mean a better user experience and higher Google rankings.
Videos that automatically adapt
Yoast Video SEO ensures your videos fit perfectly on any device, desktop, phone, or tablet, without any manual adjustments. No coding and no testing needed. Just seamless playback for every user, everywhere.
Your video preview matters
Don’t let a broken preview cost you views. Yoast Video SEO adds OpenGraph tags to ensure your video previews appear correctly on Facebook, Slack, and other platforms. Make every share count with a preview that converts.
Don’t let a bad thumbnail cost you clicks
The first thing people see is your thumbnail. If it doesn’t grab attention, they’ll keep scrolling. Yoast Video SEO lets you set custom thumbnails and preview them before publishing. Turn browsers into viewers with a thumbnail that demands clicks.
