Speech and keyphrase relevance - SEO on video | 2022 SEO strategy

A popular trend for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) in 2022 is that of matching audio descriptions within a video with the meta(on-video) descriptions.

SEO on video


The below link will show an introduction video for our company, Brandom Consulting, that uses this strategy:

Graphic Designers in Saskatoon.

When creating the strategy behind this video, there are some important considerations that we made with how the audio descriptions integrated with the video, these considerations include:

  • Timing - the insert point of the relevant audio descriptions is not necessary make or break, yet, a wealth of previous SEO experience says that the audio should be closer to the beginning of the video rather than at the end.  This will increase your chances that a Google crawler will identify this information (more times than not)

  • Projection - the quality of the audio description is certainly an important factor.  In a basic sense, if the machine responsible for detecting descriptions cannot clearly identify what is said, the chances of the audio being a useful SEO recipe diminish.  Google, as well, has a method of scanning audio from a 'human' aspect, so, keep it simple (IE. If your next door neighbor can't understand it, then record it again).

  • Relevance - through past SEO experience, I have discovered that having key phrases 'loosely' relate to the SEO target phrase can sometimes work just as well as an exact match.  In the video link, you will note that our link phrase is graphic designers in Saskatoon, while, the first sentence mentions "...graphic designers in Saskatoon and Humboldt".  This planned strategy refers back to some of that 'human' factor.  Too many exact matches for key phrases can sometimes look 'too' perfect.  after all, Google does all this for the humans, don't they? :)

  • Other - other considerations for Video SEO include:
    • title of video file (match)
    • alt of HTML embed (or similar)
    • YouTube descriptions (or similar)

Mix these SEO on video tactics with your usual SEO recipes and you might just find yourself a tasty SEO treat.  Keep in mind, though, that fresh content and accuracy are important.

Suspended Cop Chief denied reinstatement... | December 25th, 1988 | Charles Cobbertt

A judge in Newark has denied suspended Orange Police Chief Robert Sorge 's request to be reinstated while awaiting a hearing on charges of bribery, insubordination and conduct unbecoming a police officer. Supperior Court Judge Paul B. Thompson turned down both of Sorge's requests on Friday and denied the chief's request to name an acting chief to run the department while he awaits disposition of the charges filed against him Monday. "There's absolutely no basis for these allegations," argued Jerome Convery, Sorge's attorney, referring to the chief being accused of using an Orange auto repair shop's license plates on his private car between July 25 and October. Sorge "unlawfully borrowed (license) plates from a car dealer in town." It is "highly likely he conspired with a city businessman and personal friend of his" to get the plates, and he failed to even register the car with the state Department of Motor Vehicles until recently, c...

Attorney General supports Orange... | November 13th, 1988 | Charles Cobbertt

Attorney General Cary Edwards has filed a court brief in support of a political interference and harassment lawsuit Orange Police Chief Robert Sorge has filed against the mayor and police director. Under state law, Edwards maintains, "a chief of police must fuction as the executive of the police department" and municipalities cannot appoint subordinate police officers from the ranks and make them "superior to the chief." Mayor Robert L. Brown appointed Lt. Charles Cobbertt as police director on July 5, four days after assuming office, and the city council approved the action. Edwards' brief says "it is incompatible with the office (of a police chief) for a police officer to assume the duties of an appropriate authority." Sorge two months ago sued Brown and Cobbertt, contending he has been made the object of their "political interference in the workplace and political harrassment" ever since Cobbertt became his boss. Edwards, in the court bri...

Charles Cobbertt - retired Police Director

Charles "Charlie" Cobbertt’s life story is a powerful example of overcoming adversity and leading revolutionary change. Charlie’s early life, deeply influenced by his upbringing in the segregated South, set a foundation of resilience and determination. He was born on June 24, 1939, in Drew, Mississippi, a place and time rife with poverty and racial challenges.  Moving to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at a very young age, further exposed him to the stark inequalities of the time, deeply influencing his perspective and sense of justice. His journey from Mississippi to New Jersey was marked by personal growth, shaped by the struggles and experiences of living as a Black person in America during that era. At Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis, Charlie's sense of social awareness and responsibility began to take root. This period was crucial in developing the values and strengths he would carry into adulthood. Rising to become the first African American Police D...
