Video & Image SEO
Images and videos rank in their own Google results and increasingly appear in the main results, AI Overviews and Discover. For Saudi brands, where video consumption is among the highest in the world, image and video SEO is an underused source of visibility.
Image SEO
- Descriptive file names and alt text in the page language
- Modern formats (WebP/AVIF), compressed, with width and height attributes
- Lazy loading below the fold; the main image loaded eagerly
- Image sitemaps for large galleries
- Captions and surrounding text that describe the image
- Original images over stock where possible
Video SEO
- Host on YouTube for reach, and embed on your site for Google video results
- Keyword-rich titles and descriptions in Arabic and English, chapters and captions
- VideoObject schema on the embedding page
- A dedicated page per important video with transcript
- Thumbnails designed for click-through
Visual search
Google Lens and image-based search are growing; clear product images with structured data help products appear.
