SEO in Video Production – Why It Matters

    SEO video production is the process of creating and optimizing videos for maximum visibility and engagement through search engines. SEO in video productions is not as simple as going about a video shoot like you traditionally did and then try to tack on some keywords and an optimized description. It involves choosing relevant topics, keywords, titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, and captions for your videos, as well as marketing them on your website, social media platforms, and other channels. This post is going to talk about why you should be thinking about SEO way before the cameras are rolling to ensure maximum amount of reach and visibility for your content.

    SEO Research

    SEO research is the process of finding out what your target audience is searching for, how they are searching for it, and what kind of content they expect to see. It is essential to do this kind of research before starting the shooting process because it can help you:

    • Align your video content with the search intent and needs of your potential viewers
    • Choose the best keywords, topics, titles, and descriptions for your videos that match what people are looking for
    • Create videos that are relevant, engaging, and informative for your niche and industry
    • Avoid wasting time, money, and resources on producing videos that nobody watches or cares about
    • Increase the chances of ranking higher on the search results and getting more views, clicks, and conversions

    By doing SEO research before starting shooting, you can ensure that your video shot fits with what searchers expected and delivers value to them.
