Overview

The SEO Metadata feature lets you add search engine metadata to each video in your campaign. By providing a clear title, description, upload date, and thumbnail, search engines can better understand your video content, helping improve discoverability and SEO performance.

How to edit SEO Metadata

Step 1: Open your campaign

  1. Go to ReelPik VideosCampaigns.

  2. Open the campaign you want to edit.

  3. On the video card, click the dropdown next to Edit Products.

  4. Select SEO metadata.

Step 2: Configure the metadata

A Metadata popup will appear with the following fields:

1. Thumbnail (Required)

Choose the image that will represent your video in search results.

You can either:

  • Choose video frame – Select any frame from the video using the timeline.

  • Upload cover image – Upload a custom thumbnail.

2. Title (Required)

Enter a descriptive title that clearly explains the video content.

Example: Premium Skateboard for Beginners & Pros

3. Upload Date (Required)

Select the date when the video was uploaded or published.

4. Description

Provide a short description to help search engines understand your video.


Example:

Ride with confidence on a premium skateboard featuring a durable deck, smooth-rolling wheels, and excellent stability for cruising, commuting, and street tricks.

Step 3: Save your changes

Click Save to apply the metadata.

A preview panel on the right shows how your video information may appear in search results.

Best Practices

For better SEO results, we recommend:

  • Use a title that clearly describes the video.

  • Include relevant keywords naturally (for example: skateboard, running shoes, wireless headphones).

  • Keep descriptions concise but informative (around 100–160 characters is recommended).

  • Choose a clear, high-quality thumbnail that represents the video content.

Notes

  • Title, Thumbnail, and Upload Date are required fields.

  • The Description field is optional but strongly recommended to improve search engine understanding.

  • Updating SEO metadata does not change the products linked to your video or how it is displayed within your campaign. It only improves how search engines interpret your content.

  • Search engines may take some time to recrawl and update metadata after changes are published.
