Today we’re going to talk about the most overlooked SEO strategy...
[00:02:18]
...and that’s adding accurate captions and transcripts to your videos.
[00:02:27]
Studies show transcribed videos rank 7.3x higher in search results.
Accessibility & Inclusivity :
Transcribing YouTube videos provides accessibility for a wider audience, including individuals with hearing impairments or those who prefer reading over listening. Adding accurate captions to the video ensures that all viewers can comprehend the content, making it more inclusive and enhancing the overall user experience.
SEO & Searchability :
YouTube video transcription contributes to search engine optimization (SEO) efforts. Transcribed content makes the video searchable by search engines, increasing its visibility and discoverability. Properly transcribed videos are more likely to rank higher in search results, attracting more viewers and potentially growing the creator's audience.
International Reach :
Transcribing YouTube videos also enables translation into multiple languages. This feature helps content creators reach a global audience, as viewers from different countries can read the video's content in their native language. Expanding the video's reach increases engagement and encourages viewership from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
Captions and Subtitles Services for YouTube
The video's shareability and viewership primarily define its "YouTube success." When people find a certain video interesting, funny, or relevant, there is an increased chance that they will share this on their social network, website, or other platforms; hence the term viral video. Many experts suggest that Captions and Subtitle Services can play a critical role in this whole process. Also, adding subtitles in multiple languages will allow non-English speakers to enjoy the video, which further improves viewership and ultimately its search ranking.
While YouTube has automatic captioning feature — even making it as a default option — most Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts greatly discourage its use because of its blunders. Simply put, today's speech recognition technology is not at par with professionals who provide captions and subtitles services.
Captions and Subtitle Services do not use speech recognition app or other similar technologies because of the high number of errors (i.e., word blunders that are cringe worthy). They only utilize professional transcriptionists, editors, and proofreaders to produce the accurate content.
On a side note, a 2015 study has suggested that US teens and young adults watch more videos on YouTube and other Internet sources than television. Hence, companies wanting to maintain their relevance in this fast-paced epoch should utilize this powerful, influential media platform.
YouTube remains the most popular video-sharing website, attracting more than 30 million visitors every day. Nonetheless, this popularity comes with a caveat: The competition is now tougher that companies must find creative ways to entice viewers to click on their videos.
