Check 15 / 19 LOW impact In the full checklist

Video sitemap if using product videos

What this check is

Product videos are invisible to search unless they are declared. A video sitemap tells the engine where the file, the thumbnail and the page are.

How to implement it

Add the video entries to the sitemap with a title, description, thumbnail URL and content or player location, and keep the thumbnail a real frame from the video rather than a marketing graphic. Re-generate the sitemap when the media changes.

How to verify it

Validate the sitemap and confirm the video entries resolve: thumbnail returns an image, the player location returns the page, and the video file itself responds.
