Can you transcribe your youtube video to just google?

[RobDalton]

YouTube videos have been very effective for us on our site. The only problem is they have taken part of a fair amount of our content so to google our pages may seem to have minimal content.

Transcribing each video and including that on the page would take away from the look of the page and clutter it. Is there a way to let google know the content without having to include it on the page?

If you want to provide Google with information about the content of your videos without cluttering your web pages, you can use structured data markup. Structured data is a standardized format that helps search engines understand the content and context of your web pages. By including structured data related to your videos, you can provide additional information to Google without displaying it directly on the page.

To achieve this, you can use schema.org markup specifically designed for videos. Here's a general outline of the steps you can take:

Identify the relevant structured data properties: Review the schema.org documentation for video markup to understand the properties available for describing your videos. This can include information like the video title, description, duration, thumbnail URL, and more.

Implement the structured data markup: Add the appropriate structured data markup to the HTML source code of your web pages. You can include this markup within the <script> tags or in a separate JSON-LD script.

Test and validate the markup: Use Google's Structured Data Testing Tool or the Rich Results Test to ensure that the structured data is correctly implemented and recognized by Google. These tools will also help you identify any errors or warnings that need to be addressed.

Submit your sitemap to Google: If you haven't already, create an XML sitemap for your website and submit it to Google Search Console. This will help Google discover and crawl your web pages more efficiently.
