Embedding issues + SEO queries/membership site/memberpress/videos/wistia

  • Hello,

    So I′m setting up a membership site using memberpress to give access to exercise and diet videos hosted in Wistia.

    I′m using all-in-one-video gallery plugin to embed each video into a separate page (I have to use fall-back/iFrame embeds because for some reason the standard embed doesn′t work with my wistia hosted videos). This plugin allows me to show a gallery of all my videos on the website, but then, with the protected content rules, set up using memberpress, only paying members have access to all of the content.

    So my issue is really on the SEO side of things. I understand that the protected content will not be “found” by Google etc as it is login protected, but will the iframe embeds of the content that is accessible to all visitors provide SEO information to the bots as well?

    I have contacted Wistia and they just suggest using the standard embed with the J-SON-LD SEO info injected, but this doesn′t seem to be compatible with All-in-one-video gallery, who suggested contacting Wistia when I asked them for help.

    Any help with this matter would be gratefully appreciated. TIA

    View a page’s HTML source view (Ctrl/Cmd+U in most browsers). Search bots will read everything you can see here. Whether they will make use of it or not is another story. If it’s an URL without a nofollow attribute, they’ll likely use it, even if it’s where they shouldn’t use it (IMO), like within a script block.

    As for structured data, as long as it’s properly formatted, it’ll get read. Whether it’ll be used for indexing or not, again, is another story. If the search bot has to follow a link to get to structured data, it’ll be attributed to that remote page, not yours.
