Cinema8’s embed codes include structured data markup that tells search engines exactly what your video is about. This increases the likelihood of it appearing in Google’s video search results and as a rich snippet. Our platform also optimises for fast loading and mobile responsiveness, both of which support higher search rankings and better visibility in competitive SERPs.
Schema markup is a type of code that helps search engines understand the content of your videos. With Cinema8, schema markup is automatically added to your video embed codes, improving video SEO by making it easier for search engines to index and display them prominently. This improves your chances of appearing with enhanced listings, attracting more clicks, and increasing organic traffic.
Cinema8 gives you full control over video metadata, including titles, descriptions, and tags. You can align these with your target keywords to improve your video’s SEO. By optimising your metadata, you help search engines rank your videos for the right queries and ensure your content reaches the most relevant audience.
Search engines measure site performance metrics such as load speed and mobile responsiveness, both of which contribute to rankings. Video content that is not optimised for SEO can slow your website down and hurt your rankings. Cinema8 delivers videos via a global CDN and uses adaptive streaming to ensure fast playback on any device. This improves core web vitals scores, which are increasingly important to search performance.
Interactive elements such as clickable hotspots, quizzes, and branching paths can increase engagement and dwell time on your pages. These are positive user signals that search engines may interpret as a sign of valuable content. By adding these features with Cinema8, you can boost user satisfaction and potential website and video SEO performance.
