Rich Snippets for Video Publishing Websites

Use the video object schema markup to tell search engines about the videos so you can rank higher for relevant searches across the web.

What Is a Video Object Schema Markup?

Websites hosting videos and webinars need to attract visitors from search engine results. Since all you can do on a website is upload a video and add a little description, an accurate schema markup will help you tell search engines more about the context of the video.

With additional information and detailed explanation of your videos, the schema markup may also make you look better than your competitors in search results and increase the click through rate.
