Frequently Asked Questions

A Video Sitemap is an XML file that provides search engines with detailed information about your website's video content. It helps search engines better understand, index, and display your videos in search results. Key benefits include improved video SEO, better visibility in video search results, and increased organic traffic.

Update your Video Sitemap whenever you add new videos or make significant changes to existing ones. For regularly updated websites, aim for weekly or monthly updates. For static websites, quarterly updates should suffice. Always resubmit your updated sitemap to search engines.

Our Video Sitemap Generator supports all major video platforms including YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and self-hosted videos. It automatically detects video content from these platforms and includes necessary metadata like thumbnails, descriptions, and duration.

While our generator can handle unlimited videos, Google recommends keeping each sitemap under 50,000 URLs and 50MB in size. If your website exceeds these limits, our tool automatically creates multiple sitemaps with a sitemap index file for better organization.

Submit your Video Sitemap through Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. You can also include the sitemap URL in your robots.txt file. For faster indexing, we recommend directly submitting through search console and keeping your sitemap regularly updated.

Yes, our generator allows full customization of video metadata including titles, descriptions, thumbnails, duration, and more. You can also specify content ratings, video categories, and publication dates. All customizations follow Google's video sitemap guidelines.
