a certain page is about a
particular item

video
» Some content required to be
marked up

readable – cannot be hidden

GETTING VIDEO INDEXED

frequency

length of video

CAUTION: AUTHORSHIP HICCUPS
• Google looks for the word “by” followed
by a name on pages
› Automatically can add authorship to a page
› Overrides other schema
› Will show up as video using testing tool

VIDEO ADS

AdWords and LinkedIn

VIDEO ON LANDING PAGES
• Try video on landing pages
• Basic rules:
› Don’t set the video to “auto-play.”
› Use the video as your “hero shot.”
› Use video that delivers on your promise.
› Ensure optimal load times.
› Test various elements of the video where possible.
» Ex: length of video (where do people abandon?)
› Use Google Analytics to measure success.

WHY VIDEO IS HARD TO TEST
• Not as “flexible” as HTML or text-based content
› Often takes special skills to edit
• Each video is different
• Video is the medium, just as a web page is a medium
› Content, imagery, etc. all still apply
