Report on Video Indexing
The Video indexing report will show up in the coverage part of the left navigation bar if Google finds videos on your website. You won't see the report if Google has not identified a video on your website. The report displays the current state of your website's video indexing. It assists you in responding to the following queries:
- How many pages have videos been found by Google?
- Which videos were successfully indexed?
- What problems are standing in the way of videos being indexed?
Additionally, if you resolve a problem, you may utilise the report to confirm the resolution and monitor the updating of your corrected video pages in the Google index.
This report is distinct from the Video Rich results report, so please be aware of that. The report described in today's post is about video indexing, not video structured data, so it cannot demonstrate the accuracy of the items in video structured data. Which Video structured data pieces are valid or invalid on your site is still displayed in the Video Rich results report.
Examining a certain video page
Along with the new report, we improved the URL Inspection tool to let you verify the progress of a particular page's video indexing. If Google found a video on a page you were looking at, the following information would appear in the search results:
- information like the URLs for the thumbnail and the video.
- The page's status reveals whether or not the video was indexed.
- Issues that prohibit the video from being indexed are listed.
This is not applicable to live inspection, which merely indicates whether a video was found on the page being inspected and does not provide the status of video indexing.
We anticipate that the new tools will make it simpler to comprehend how your movies perform in searches as well as to spot and address problems. Visit the video best practises page to find out more about video indexing best practises.
Please get in touch with us on Twitter or the Google Search Central Community if you have any questions or issues.
