Video SEO is super underutilized but can be a great way to increase landing in front of your target audience!
Subtitles - uploading an SRT file or enabling captions allows your videos to be crawled and indexed by Google and other search engines.
Transcripts - if you are uploading a video to YouTube, including the transcript in your description is a great way to get those keywords in and get picked up in searches! You get up to 5000 characters in the description, so videos up to about 5 minutes.
Titles - Making sure you have your keywords in the title is really important, and also, ideally, you will want it to be attention-grabbing too!
File Names, Tags & More Make sure your video file name, any video chapters, and tags feature your keywords to boost your chances of being discovered by your target audience!
Are any of these new to you? Or do you have other tips you can share with the community?

@misterocean It really is and can make such a big impact! Especially as Google will now feature videos as part of it's search results in the main page!
Titles are like the first impression - catchy and keyword-rich titles can grab attention and drive clicks.
And when it comes to file names, tags, and chapters, it's all about making your content easily discoverable.
Thanks for sharing these tips! I'll also add that video engagement metrics like watch time, and click-through rate can influence rankings, so keeping your audience engaged is crucial.
