- How long should the video version of a blog post be?
- 60–90 seconds for social media (TikTok, Reels, Shorts). 3–5 minutes for YouTube feed video. Match the length to the platform and the depth of the blog post's content.
- Does converting blog posts to video hurt SEO?
- No. Video and text serve different search intents and different platforms. The video drives traffic from YouTube and social media while the blog post maintains its Google search rankings.
- How much of the blog post should I include in the video?
- Focus on the most compelling 20% of the blog post — the core insight, the best examples, and the key takeaways. A video is a teaser that drives curious viewers to read the full post.
- Should I embed the video directly in the blog post?
- Yes. Embedding a video in a blog post increases average time-on-page by 2–3×, reduces bounce rate, and gives the blog post a richer search snippet — all of which improve organic rankings.
- Can I convert all my old blog posts to video?
- Yes. Your content archive is a video library waiting to be unlocked. Prioritize evergreen posts that still get traffic — converting high-traffic posts to video extends their reach immediately.
