Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your Google Web Story video not being indexed. The message you are seeing, "No – the video is supplementary content on the page," indicates that the video is not considered a primary piece of content on a dedicated watch page. Instead, it is treated as supplementary content, which may affect its visibility in search results.
To clarify:
- Web Stories are designed to be standalone pieces of content that can be indexed by Google. If your video is embedded within a Web Story and the story itself is indexed, then the story should be eligible for indexing.
- However, if the video is not directly associated with a watch page (a dedicated page for viewing the video), it may not be indexed as a standalone video.
Recommendations:
- Ensure your Web Story is complete: Make sure that your Web Story meets all the guidelines provided by Google, including having a clear narrative and following the technical specifications.
- Check Video Placement: Ensure that your video is prominently featured in the Web Story and not just as supplementary content. It should be integral to the story.
- Use AMP Test: You can test if your Web Story has been created correctly using Google’s AMP Test here.
- Follow Best Practices: Adhere to the best practices for creating Web Stories, such as keeping videos under 15 seconds and ensuring they are in portrait mode.
If you have followed these steps and are still experiencing issues, we recommend replying to this ticket so a human agent from the Rank Math Support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
please tell me what should i do.this result to any problem or not ? solution
Hello,
Google has stopped indexing videos that are not on a dedicated watch page. Google considers your video supplementary to the content, not the main content of the page, and that’s why they don’t index it.
To fix this, you may need to create a dedicated page for video, where the text is only to supplement the video if you want to get your videos indexed.
You can also follow the steps mentioned in this article and see if that works for you: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/video-isnt-watch-page-gsc-error-solved-ashwani-tiwari-lqhxc
