How Video Sitemaps work
Sitemaps help get your videos indexed and improve their visibility on Google Search.
How does Google index my content?
In order to deliver search results, Google “crawls” the web, collects information about each piece of content, and indexes this information so that relevant content can be matched to each search query. If Google cannot find and index your videos, they will not appear in our search results.
How can I get my videos indexed?
An easy fix is submitting a Video Sitemap, which is simply a link to each video along with some additional information that can be displayed in search results. A Video Sitemap helps Google index the video content you want exposed so that it can be matched to relevant search results for users.
Video Sitemaps can be used by any content publisher with videos on the web. Google’s objective is to help users find the the most relevant content – whether it’s coming from a major TV network or a blogger.
What information is provided in a Video Sitemap, and how will it be used?
Five pieces of information are required for each of your videos: title, description, play page URL (where users watch the video), thumbnail image (to represent your video in Google search results), and the URL of the raw video file. Learn more about how to create a Video Sitemap.
We use this information to verify that there is actually a live video on your page, and that it is relevant to users’ search queries. You can protect this information so that it’s accessible only by our crawler.
What can I expect from my Video Sitemap?
Google will use your Video Sitemap to crawl your website and identify your videos. We may then add them to our index, so that they appear in search results. While a Video Sitemap helps Google find content on your site that we might not otherwise discover, we don’t guarantee that all videos included in a Sitemap will appear in our search results.
Google will display a thumbnail image (provided by you or autogenerated by Google) of your video content, as well as information, including the video’s title, description and duration, as contained in your Video Sitemap.
When a user clicks your video in search results, they will go to your website where they can view a full playback of the video.
