AI Video SEO

? Why Google is Not Ranking YourDomain.com for "YourBrand"

1. Duplicate Content Penalty

   • Since your videos are imported from YouTube, Google sees identical content on both YourDomain.com and YouTube.com.
   • Google will prioritize YouTube over your site because YouTube is the original source of the content.
   • This is especially true if the video titles, descriptions, and metadata are exactly the same as on YouTube.

2. Lack of Unique, High-Quality Content

   • If YourDomain.com mainly consists of imported videos without original text content, articles, or unique descriptions, Google won’t see it as valuable.
   • Google prefers websites that provide additional value beyond just embedding YouTube videos.

3. Thin or Low-Value Pages

   • If each page on YourDomain only contains a YouTube video and a short description, Google may classify them as thin content and not index them.
   • Google favors pages with rich, meaningful content such as user discussions, summaries, or extra insights.

4. Indexing Issues & Google Deindexing

   • Have you checked Google Search Console for indexing issues?
   • Google might be ignoring or deindexing some pages due to low quality or duplication.
   • Use Search Console → Coverage Report to see if your pages are excluded.

5. Not Enough Backlinks & Authority

   • If other websites are not linking to YourDomain.com, Google may not see it as an authoritative site.
   • YouTube already has massive authority, so Google ranks it higher.

? How to Fix This & Rank Higher

✅ 1. Make Your Video Pages Unique

• Change video titles slightly to be different from YouTube.
• Write unique descriptions instead of copying from YouTube.
• Add extra content like:
  • Summaries
  • User discussions
  • Transcripts
  • FAQs related to the video

✅ 2. Start Creating Original Content

• Publish blog posts, video reviews, or articles related to videos.
• Example: Instead of just posting a BMW car review video, write an article:
  "BMW X5 2024 Review – Is It Worth Buying?"
• Add user-generated content (comments, discussions, and polls).

✅ 3. Improve Internal Linking & Backlinks

• Add related video suggestions on every page.
• Get backlinks from forums, blogs, and social media.
• Try to get mentions on news sites or tech blogs.

✅ 4. Use Google Search Console to Check Indexed Pages

• Go to Google Search Console → Coverage → See which pages are NOT indexed.
• If a page is excluded due to "Duplicate without user-selected canonical," Google is ignoring it.
• You may need to add canonical tags or modify content.

? How to Bulk Update Video Titles & Descriptions Using AI

You have two main options for integrating AI into your script:

1. Use OpenAI's ChatGPT API (Best for English-based SEO optimization)
2. Use DeepSeek API (Better if you need a cost-effective alternative with multilingual support)

✅ Choose Your AI Model

? Option 1: OpenAI ChatGPT API

• Pros:
  • Highly advanced in understanding SEO-friendly text.
  • Can generate engaging, click-worthy video titles.
• Cons:
  • Paid API, depending on usage.

? Option 2: DeepSeek API

• Pros:
  • Cheaper than OpenAI.
  • Good Chinese language support if needed.
• Cons:
  • May not be as optimized for SEO titles as ChatGPT.

? How Much Bulk Update Video Titles & Descriptions Using OpenAI Cost

Estimating the cost of using OpenAI's ChatGPT API to bulk-update titles and descriptions for your 500,000 videos involves understanding token usage and the associated pricing. Here's a breakdown:

1. Token Calculation:

• Tokens: In OpenAI's models, tokens are fragments of words or characters. Approximately, 1 token equals about 0.75 words, so 100 tokens roughly correspond to 75 words.

  help.openai.com

• Assumptions per Video:

  • Input Tokens: Assuming each video's current title and description total about 50 words, that's approximately 67 tokens.
  • Output Tokens: If the AI generates a new title and description totaling about 100 words, that's approximately 134 tokens.

  Total Tokens per Video: 201 tokens (67 input + 134 output)

2. Total Token Usage for 500,000 Videos:

• Total Tokens: 201 tokens/video * 500,000 videos = 100,500,000 tokens

3. OpenAI API Pricing:

• GPT-4o Mini Model:

  • Input Tokens: $0.15 per 1 million tokens
  • Output Tokens: $0.60 per 1 million tokens

  Cost Calculation:

  • Input Cost: (67 tokens/video * 500,000 videos) / 1,000,000 * $0.15 = $5.025
  • Output Cost: (134 tokens/video * 500,000 videos) / 1,000,000 * $0.60 = $40.20

  Total Cost: $5.025 (input) + $40.20 (output) = $45.225

4. Future Usage Considerations:

• Ongoing Updates: If you plan to process new videos regularly, costs will scale linearly based on the number of videos and the token usage per video.

• Model Selection: Using more advanced models like GPT-4o will increase costs, as they have higher rates.

5. Cost Optimization Strategies:

• Batch Processing: OpenAI offers discounted rates for batch processing, which could reduce costs if you process large volumes simultaneously.

• Alternative Models: Exploring other models like DeepSeek, which may offer competitive pricing, could be beneficial.

? How To Implement AI Rewriter

1. Add a processed Column

To track which videos have been AI-updated, we need to add a processed column to the videos table. This column will: ✅ Start at 0 for all videos (meaning they haven't been updated).
✅ Change to 1 after the AI modifies the title and description.

? SQL Query to Add the Column

Run this SQL command in phpMyAdmin or your database tool:

• TINYINT(1) → Small storage, uses only 1 byte.
• DEFAULT 0 → All existing videos will be set to 0 (not processed).
• NOT NULL → Ensures it always has a value.

Now that the processed column exists, the script will: ✅ Only update videos where processed = 0.
✅ Mark them as processed = 1 after AI updates them.

2. Understand AI Rewriter for Better Descriptions!

Now, the AI-generated descriptions will:

1️⃣ Be more engaging & natural (not just short summaries).
2️⃣ Include relevant keywords for better SEO.
3️⃣ Keep & improve hashtags while avoiding unnecessary repetition.
4️⃣ End with a strong call-to-action (Subscribe, Like, Comment, etc.).

✅ Best Strategy: Replace External Links with Internal YourDomain Links

Instead of keeping external links, we should:

✔ Detect and remove external links from descriptions.
✔ Replace them with relevant internal links (to related videos on YourDomain).
✔ Improve user retention by keeping visitors on your platform.

? How To Run AI Rewriter

✅ Method 1: Run Manually via CLI

1. SSH into Your Server

   • Open a terminal and connect to your server:
   bash

   ssh your-username@your-server-ip

2. Navigate to the Script Location

   • If you placed the script in /var/www/vhosts/.../httpdocs/, navigate there:
   bash

   cd /var/www/vhosts/.../httpdocs/

3. Run the Script Using PHP

   bash

   php ai_videos_SEO.php
   • If everything is set up correctly, it will start processing videos.
   • If you see "✅ Bulk update completed!", the script ran successfully.

✅ Method 2: Run via cURL (if script is accessible via web)

If you placed the script in a web-accessible location (https://yourdomain.com/admin/ai_videos_SEO.php), you can trigger it with:

• This works only if the script is web-accessible.
• Make sure it's secured (use an admin-only endpoint or password protection).

✅ Method 3: Automate with a Cron Job

To run the script automatically at a set time (e.g., every night at 2 AM):

1. Open crontab:

   bash

   crontab -e

2. Add this line to run the script daily at 2 AM:

   bash

   0 2 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/.../httpdocs/ai_videos_SEO.php
   • Adjust the path if needed.
   • Save and exit.

? How To Run AI Rewriter (Summary)

✅ Step 1: Add processed Column to the videos Table

Run this SQL command in phpMyAdmin or via SSH (MySQL CLI):

• TINYINT(1) → Uses minimal storage (1 byte per row).
• NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 →
  • 0 = Not processed yet (AI hasn't modified the title/description).
  • 1 = Processed (AI has already optimized the title/description).

✅ Step 2: Verify the Column Exists

After running the command, check if the column was added by running:

You should see a new column:

✅ Step 3: Run the AI Rewriter Script

Now you can run the AI script using:

It will only process videos where processed = 0 and mark them as 1 after updating.

? Final Notes

• Without this processed column, the script would keep modifying the same videos repeatedly.
• You only need to add this column once, and it will handle everything automatically.
