How does it work?
1. Pick one strong core piece
Start from your best article or study; every format should carry the same facts and figures so sources agree.
2. Make a video with real captions
Upload to YouTube, then in YouTube Studio > Subtitles > Add language > Add, upload a transcript file or use auto-sync.
3. Add chapters and video markup
Add timestamps with labels in the YouTube description; for videos on your site add VideoObject markup and a video sitemap entry.
4. Give each video its own page
On your site use one dedicated watch page per video with a unique title and description, and don't block the video file.
5. Adapt for each channel, don't clone
Rewrite for LinkedIn posts, slides or newsletters; many near-identical pages made to rank can count as scaled content abuse.
6. Check which format gets cited
Run your prompts monthly and note whether AI answers cite the video, the article or a social post, then invest in what works.
