Your Most Expensive Asset is Invisible: The Video Indexing Crisis

Robots Are Deaf and Blind

Video is the most powerful medium for human connection. It builds trust faster than any text. But here is the uncomfortable truth: Google is deaf and blind to your video content.

If you upload a video to YouTube and embed it on your site, Google sees a black box (an iframe). It doesn’t know what you said, who is in the video, or why it matters. It cannot index the content inside the video frame.

The "Key Moments" Opportunity

Have you ever searched for a “how-to” on Google and seen a video result with little blue timestamps labeled “Key Moments”? That is not an accident. That is Video Object Schema.

Brands that utilize this technology get their videos featured directly on the search results page (SERP), often taking up 3x the screen space of a text result. Brands that don’t use it remain hidden inside the “Videos” tab that nobody clicks.

Turning "Uploads" Into "Assets"

Most agencies think their job is done when they hit “Publish” on YouTube. At 10xSearch, that is where our work begins. We wrap your video in a layer of code that translates your visual media into text data for the AI.

Don't Rent Your Audience. Own It.

When you rely solely on YouTube or Instagram, you are renting an audience from an algorithm that hates you. They want to keep users on their app.

By using Video Schema Engineering on your own site, we force Google to index your page as the source of the video. When someone searches for your topic, they land on your website, enter your funnel, and become your lead—not a random YouTube subscriber.
