Hi everybody,
I have a video screencast website and it's hard on Yoast to reach the green status since I don't have a lot of words in my posts since it's video oriented.
My question is : Do I have to do a Transcript for each videos to have more keywords and a better SEO rank?

    I would not really waste time with what Yoast tells you.

    Look around at what other similar sites are doing that are ranking well. Emulate them.

    Forget the Yoast green light nonsense.

    Ahah thanks, to be honest when I'm posting a blog post, I'm like 'How can I put the keyword first and make a good title :s?'

      As long as the title describes the content that's fine, although, the keywords don't need to be first in the title. So "the best way to keyword fast" is fine. You don't have to do "keyword, how to do it fast"

    Hi Matthieu,

    Transcripts do help with ranking in my experience, especially for YouTube videos. You can do it yourself or pay somebody $1 a minute:

    They have this in Windows 7, 8 and 10:
    Use speech recognition - Windows Help

    Or on a Mac:

    Best,
    Matt

    Green status?

    Stop worrying about stuff that doesn't rank pages.
