How to Create Google Friendly XML Video Sitemap

Making a video sitemap is pretty simple, and it helps search engines find your videos better.

How to create an XML Video Sitemap

Here’s a quick rundown:

First, you gotta understand the basic parts of the XML video sitemap. Each video entry should have: <url>: The page link where the video is.
<video:video>: This is where all the video details go.
<video:thumbnail_loc>: Link to the video thumbnail.
<video:title>: The title of your video.
<video:description>: A little blurb about what the video is about.
<video:content_loc>: The actual video file link.
<video:duration>: How long the video is (in seconds).
<video:publication_date>: When you posted the video.
<video:family_friendly>: Is it kid-friendly? (optional)
