When the user wants to optimize videos for Google Search, video sitemap, VideoObject schema, or video SEO on websites.

For page template, use article-page-generator.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# SEO On-Page: Video Optimization

Guides video optimization for Google Search (main results, video mode, Google Images, Discover), video sitemap, VideoObject schema, and indexing. **Note**: Google now prioritizes YouTube video results in search; YouTube + Reddit comprise ~78% of social media citations in AI Overviews. For YouTube-specific optimization, see **youtube-seo**; for GEO distribution via YouTube, see **generative-engine-optimization**. References: [Google Video SEO](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/video), [Semrush YouTube SEO](https://www.semrush.com/blog/youtube-seo/).

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Scope

- **Discovery & indexing**: HTML embed elements, video sitemap
- **Metadata**: Title, description, thumbnail; stable URLs
- **Structured data**: VideoObject schema
- **Features**: Video preview, key moments (Clip, SeekToAction), LIVE badge
- **YouTube prioritization**: Google favors YouTube in search; embed or host on YouTube for GEO citation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kostja94/marketing-skills/video-optimization@sha256:5794571972d9eb42

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
