What happens after choosing a Video Player?
Once you choose an embedded video player for your site, make sure it gets found by your target audience. In addition to proper configuration of your embedded web video player, it is important to surround the video player with meta data allowing search engines to get proper context of the video content. For this purpose, each video requires a dedicated page. Next, customize structured data and a video sitemap for the video pages. These pages will also need a technical SEO audit, verifying crawlers can discover and index properly.
Finally, track its performance. Not only does this allow you to find out which video streams get the most views and highest completion rates, but other useful metrics to shape your strategy for distribution, syndication and creation of future videos.
