How to Rank on the "Video" Tab of Google Malta

In 2026, Google is no longer just a text engine; it is a visual-first platform. If you search for "corporate training" or "iGaming marketing," you’ll notice that video thumbnails often take up more screen space than traditional links. But how do you ensure your business is the one showing up?

At Mythic Eye, we don’t just hit "Record." We optimize for the robots that decide who wins the search game. Here is the 2026 Video SEO blueprint.

1. The Power of the "Rich Snippet"

When you see a video thumbnail in search results with a duration and a "play" button, that’s a Rich Snippet. In 2026, Google only displays these if the video is the main focus of the page. We ensure your landing pages are built around your video, signaling to Google that this is the primary content.

2. Schema Markup: The Hidden Language

Google's AI needs a specific code called VideoObject Schema to understand what your video is about. We embed this "invisible data" into your site so Google knows your video's title, duration, and exactly which moments are the most important.

3. Key Moments & Timestamps

Have you ever seen a Google search result that lets you skip to a specific part of a video? By using Chapter Timestamps, we allow potential clients to jump straight to the information they need (e.g., "02:15 - Subscription Pricing"). This dramatically increases "Watch Time," which is Google's #1 ranking signal in 2026.

4. Transcripts: Turning Audio into Searchable Text

Google’s AI is smart, but it loves reading. Every video we produce for our subscription clients comes with a full transcript. This turns your spoken words into searchable keywords, helping you rank for long-tail phrases that your competitors are missing.
