🎬 Video Schema Generator
Paste a YouTube link and instantly generate valid VideoObject JSON-LD schema markup to help search engines understand and showcase your video.
What is Video Schema?
Video schema (technically VideoObject structured data from Schema.org) is a snippet of JSON-LD code you add to a page that tells search engines exactly what a video is about - its title, description, thumbnail, publish date, and duration - in a format machines can read directly, rather than guessing from surrounding text.
Why it matters for SEO
Pages with valid video schema are eligible for rich results in Google Search, such as video thumbnails, duration badges, and preview carousels. This can significantly increase click-through rate, and it also helps AI-driven search engines and answer engines correctly summarize and cite your video content.
How to use this tool

Pro Tip: Always test your generated code in the Google Rich Results Test Tool to ensure it gets the green checkmark before hitting publish!
