Getting indexed into Google video search

[Shawn124]

I have a website that has videos hosted from youtube.com embedded onto it. I created and uploaded the videos to youtube and want them on my website. My question is which would be a better option, hosting the video on my website or embed them from youtube? I currently have them embedded onto youtube but when I do a Google video search I cannot find my company's website anywhere. My videos are shown on the results but they are linked to youtube and not my website. Is there a way to get the search results to show listing of the videos posted on my website?

Are you looking for a direct link to your webpage where you've embedded those videos or do you just want them to show up on video search?

If it's the latter, you need to fill out all of the meta information on YouTube for keywords and descriptions that include your domain name. It's also helpful, for both ranking and the hearing impaired, to put up a transcript of the video.

I am looking for the former, sorry for the confusion. I have all the meta information filled out with a link to my website in the description. I just want the video search result to point towards my website instead of youtube.

Hi,

Pretty sure it works better when you host the videos on your own website using a service such as Wistia.

Then you make a video XMl site map and add it to webmaster tools with the content hosted on the 3rd party website.

It wont happen over night yet video images do show in SERP's after a few weeks.

Kind Regards,

James.

Hi Colocation,

I agree with James; if you are looking fore your videos to be found on your website instead of youtube; I would host them directly on the website. If right now your videos are being found on youtube only, for the mean time, put your website information on the videos description, on the video itself before the video starts and create a channel that has a link to your website. I hope this helps.
