YouTube embeds

RankYak may embed a relevant YouTube video in the articles it writes. When the feature is enabled, each new article is matched against YouTube for a video that supports its topic, and a good match is placed directly in the content. A relevant video gives readers a second way to engage with the subject and tends to keep them on the page longer, which search engines take as a signal that the page is useful. This page explains how videos are chosen and how to turn the feature on or off.

How videos are chosen

During article generation, RankYak searches YouTube using the article's keyword and content, and evaluates whether any of the results genuinely adds value, context, or clarification. When a suitable video is found, it is embedded at the point in the article where it best fits the flow of the content. When nothing suitable is found, the article is simply written without a video.

The video does not need to be one you created. Any video that supports the topic serves the reader, so RankYak selects the most helpful option available.

Enabling and disabling embeds

YouTube embeds are controlled by a single setting per project.

1. Go to Settings, then Articles.
2. Find the YouTube videos section.
3. Click Enable or Disable.

The setting applies to articles generated from that point on. Disabling it stops videos from being embedded in new articles, while articles already written keep the videos they have.
