Optimize Video SEO with Presto Player & RankMath

Presto Player works with RankMath to help your videos appear in Google search results with rich video previews. This guide covers how video schema works and how to enable the RankMath video sitemap.

Video Schema

Video schema tells search engines about the videos on your page. When schema is present, Google may display a rich video preview in search results, including a thumbnail, title, and duration. Here is an example of how this looks:

How to Enable Video Schema

Presto Player automatically generates video schema for any public video on your page. The only requirement is that your video has a poster image set.

Step 1: Open your video in the Media Hub or edit the Presto Player block on your page.

Step 2: In the video settings, add a Poster Image.

Once a poster image is set, Presto Player will automatically output the video schema on the page. No additional configuration is needed.

Video Sitemap

A video sitemap is a dedicated sitemap that gives search engines detailed information about the videos on your site. It is especially useful for new videos or content that may not be discovered through regular crawling.

Presto Player does not include a built-in video sitemap, but RankMath provides a video sitemap integration that works with Presto Player. Once RankMath detects your videos, it will include them in the video sitemap automatically.

Conclusion

That’s all it takes to set up video SEO with Presto Player and RankMath. Once your poster image is in place, schema is generated automatically and your videos can appear as rich results in Google search. If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out to our support team. We’re happy to help.
