Hidden Power of Searchable Captions for SEO
Use searchable captions to crank up your video SEO
Online video is transforming the way we think, communicate, learn, conduct business and even socialize. It is one of the most impactful advancements of our time. Online video accounts for over 50% of online traffic. Yet online video remains a blackbox, as video is still not search-friendly or accessible.
The Kaltura Connect 2014 video features Brian Plackis-Cheng, CEO of cielo24, in a discussion on how Kaltura REACH searchable captions promote content accessibility and discovery though SEO.
According to the forecast, the number of online video viewers will amount to 209.8+ million users in 2016, up from 186.2 million in 2013. So if you are producing video online, the time to power your SEO media data is now.

The numbers are too big to ignore and by adding searchable captions you make your content accessible for millions.
