Google uses hundreds of data points to figure out what ranks in search.

Video isn’t “readable,” which means Google can only read titles and
description information, tags, comments and links.

Video Search Optimization
• There isn’t one “right way” to utilize these caption files
• If you embed a YouTube video, you promote the SEO of that video on YouTube
• Transcripts can be added to your web page
• Interactive captions can be added to a white label or open-source video player

How much does it cost?
$10-$20 per minute of video!
A 3 minute video can get English and Spanish
captions for $60.
