Simple Explanation (ELI13)
Video SEO is optimizing videos to show up in search results. If your videos are on YouTube, that's YouTube SEO. For videos on your own site, use video schema and sitemaps. Creating good thumbnails and including transcripts helps. Videos can appear in regular Google results and video-specific searches.
