Video Sitemap

A specialised sitemap exposing video content metadata to search engines.

Video sitemaps include video URL, thumbnail, title, description, duration, content location and content rating. They help Google discover and properly index videos that may not be findable through standard crawling. Video schema usually delivers stronger results than video sitemaps for individual pages, but sitemaps remain useful for large video libraries.
