Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of getting your content to rank at the top of search engines, like Google. Your search engine ranking helps determine the number of visitors your website receives.
There are billions of folks tuning in to online video content, and that figure only keeps on climbing with each passing year. Videos pack a mighty punch as a content format and can make a significant contribution to your overall SEO strategy, in more ways than one.
The Parmonic JavaScript Widgets automatically inject structured data to every video. This let's search engine crawlers identify videos on your pages, so they will rank higher and show up in video search results.
