I. Why Video SEO is a New Blue Ocean for Foreign Trade Website Building: While text STP positions are becoming increasingly saturated, video cards are often overlooked due to their low competition and high click-through rate.

1. Google Video results had an average CTR of 18%, which was 5 percentage points higher than BlueLink.
2. Overseas buyers have more faith in real-life production line footage; videos lower the trust threshold.
3. YouTube is owned by Google, so it's naturally favored by the algorithm and gets high priority when crawled.
4. The same keyword can appear in both web page and video results simultaneously, doubling the brand's dominance in search results.

II. Keyword Research: Put videos and web pages in the same funnel. Use Google Trends to filter "how to" + product terms, and prioritize keywords with rising trends in videos.

1. Enter "foreign trade website building" to get related video search results and export 50 keywords;
2. Filter by YouTube Keyword Difficulty < 40, retaining mid-to-long tail keywords;
3. Break down keywords into "pain points + scenarios", such as "how to shorten the website launch cycle for foreign trade";
4. Place the main keyword in the title and the secondary keyword in the tag to cover more related video recommendations.

III. Script Writing: Provide the answer and hooks in the first 15 seconds. Google crawls video audio-to-text conversion, and the appearance of core keywords in the first 15 seconds can improve relevance.

1. Start by addressing pain points such as "how much does it cost?" and "how long does it take to launch?" before proceeding with the steps.
2. Insert a visual hook every 90 seconds to prevent it from popping up;
3. Use active verbs to ensure that keywords are still present after speech-to-text conversion;
4. The video ends with a casual appeal to subscribe, boosting the channel's ranking and providing feedback for the next video.

IV. On-Page Optimization: Title, description, and tags. Video metadata and webpage TDK should be aligned to maintain keyword alignment.

1. Titles should be ≤60 characters, with the main keyword at the beginning, such as "Full Process of Building a Foreign Trade Website | Launching in 30 Days";
2. The description should begin with a subject and include the key value and official website link within the first 100 words;
3. Add 5-7 relevant keywords to the tag, including "foreign trade website building case" and "multilingual website building";
4. Add the hashtag #ForeignTradeWebsiteBuilding to your description to improve related recommendations on YouTube.

5. Structured Data: Using VideoObject to claim video cards. Google needs JSON-LD to confirm the existence of the video before it can display the card on the webpage.

1. After uploading the video, obtain the YouTube ID and enter it into the "Video Module" in the Pinshop backend;
2. Automatically generate VideoObjects, including duration, thumbnails, and descriptions;
3. Verify using the Rich Results Test to ensure zero errors;
4. Submit an IndexNow application to reduce initial crawl time to within hours.

6. Embedding and Internal Links: If clicking on the video card on the official website directly redirects to YouTube, it results in lost traffic. Therefore, it is necessary to embed the video on the official website to form a closed loop.

1. Use lazy loading of iframes, with the cover image displayed first, and the actual player activated only when clicked;
2. Add a "Read the Text Version" button below the video, linking back to the blog to reduce bounce rate;
3. The blog uses "Related Videos" sections to form thematic clusters;
4. Add the embedded page URL to the sitemap to increase crawl frequency.

7. Playlists and Chapters: Extending Viewing Time Improves Ranking Signals. Viewing time is the most important ranking factor on YouTube, and playlists and chapters are needed to reduce bounce rates.

1. Create playlists according to the "pre-, during-, and post-stages of foreign trade website building" and play them automatically in sequence;
2. Add chapter titles with secondary keywords to the timeline to improve the hit rate of voice search;
3. Include a link to the official website homepage in the list description to increase referral traffic;
4. We update the list cover monthly to keep it fresh and improve its recommendation ranking.

8. External Links and Social Media: Getting videos referenced by industry websites. Embedding videos in high-quality pages can enhance the authority of video pages and, in turn, improve rankings.

1. Submit the production line video to the Industry Insights section of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology to obtain a .gov backlink;
2. The case study was published in the Shenzhen Cross-Border E-commerce Association's monthly magazine, with an embedded video and a link back to the official website.
3. Target manufacturing groups with LinkedIn ads to generate organic citations from industry blogs;
4. Track the referenced domains; if DR > 50, send a thank-you email and exchange ideas for the next collaboration.

9. Data Monitoring: Use YouTube Studio and GSC dual-channel Studio to view viewing time and GSC to view video page clicks. Cross-analysis can identify areas for optimization.

1. Watch videos that are less than 35% long and check if there are any missing hooks in the first 15 seconds;
2. If GSC shows CTR < 5%, change the thumbnail and test the A/B cover.
3. If you notice a drop in keyword rankings, promptly add new variations to the description and tags.
4. Export the top 3 videos each quarter, compile them into PDFs, and upload them to the China E-Commerce Association's case library to continuously accumulate authoritative backlinks.
