YouTube and SEO
Alongside giving viewers access to your YouTube videos by adding closed captions or subtitles, you can benefit from improved SEO. Improved Search Engine Optimisation can give you more exposure, which helps to boost your website rankings and/or product sales.
Primarily, great SEO is a factor because YouTube asks for a video meta description, title, web links and any other useful or relevant data. This ultimately amounts to searchable text and adding YouTube subtitles then gives you even more bang for your buck. As a result, Google can crawl through and pick out relevant text from both your meta data and your video content. In summary, it searches for relevant information, which it uses to elevate you higher in the rankings.

Using Automated YouTube Subtitles
Many YouTube users will upload their video and then simply select the automated subtitling option to match the video language. Once they have ticked the desired language, YouTube uses voice recognition to transcribe and time the subtitles automatically.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s great that the platform seeks to ensure YouTube subtitles are accessible for all videos, but quality can become an issue. For YouTube subtitles, frequent transcription errors can result in captions which are incorrect, confusing, and sometimes even entirely incoherent.
If your video has one speaker who is a professional voiceover artist with perfect annunciation then you might be okay. In reality, videos often contain strong accents, mumbling, ‘ahs’ and ‘erms’, and multiple speakers. In any of these cases, substantial errors can occur in your automated English subtitles, and these are frustrating for your viewers.
Finally, you should also consider the foreign language factor. High quality translation is a complex thing; something which software has far from mastered. For an English YouTube video that needs French subtitles, the effects of using a source file which already contains mistakes can be disastrous.
