# Video SEO

Optimize video content for search by extracting transcripts, auditing video page SEO, researching video keywords, and creating thumbnails.

Video content represents a massive search opportunity, but only if it is properly optimized. This workflow covers the full video SEO process from transcript extraction to thumbnail creation.

Transcripts unlock the text content of your videos for search engines and enable content repurposing. Video page SEO audits ensure your titles, descriptions, and metadata are optimized. Keyword research identifies terms where video results appear in search, and custom thumbnails improve the click-through rates that drive views and engagement.
