SEO for Visual Asset Pages: Metadata That Actually Helps Discoverability
Nov 30, 2025•2 min read•By Clipisense Team
SEO for visuals is mostly about clarity
If you want Google (and social shares) to work for you, your metadata has one job:
Help the right person understand what they’ll get *before* they click.
That’s it.
The problem: most pages say nothing specific
Many pages accidentally look the same:
“Free images and videos”
It’s too broad. It doesn’t match what people actually search.
Beginner mistakes
Stuffing keywords in the title (“free stock footage free hd images b-roll”).
Writing a vague description that could fit any page.
Forgetting Open Graph / Twitter previews.
Using the wrong canonical URL (causes duplication issues).
Think long-tail (the traffic is there)
Most valuable searches are specific:
“cinematic rainy night b roll”
“portrait office meeting video”
“minimal abstract background for text”
Your metadata should match real intent like that.
A practical title formula (without keyword spam)
Use:
**[Primary intent] — [Use case] | [Brand]**
Examples:
“Cinematic Rainy Night — Free B‑Roll Ideas | Clipisense”
“Minimal Abstract Background — Clean Visuals for Captions | Clipisense”
Notice: one clear intent, one clear use case.
A description that actually helps clicks
Good descriptions answer three questions:
1) What is this?
Images? Videos? Both?
2) What quality / vibe?
Cinematic, clean, natural light, etc.
3) Who is it for?
Editors, marketers, creators, designers.
Keep it human. Write it like you’d explain it to a friend.
Social previews (Open Graph) are free distribution
When someone shares your page in a group chat or on X, the preview decides the click.
Use an OG image that:
has a clear focal point
is readable at small sizes
matches the page’s vibe
Structured data: don’t overdo it
Use JSON‑LD when it’s accurate.
For articles: BlogPosting
For site-level: WebSite
Don’t lie. Don’t mark everything as an article. Google cares about correctness.
Mindset: write metadata for humans first
If it reads like a robot wrote it, it usually performs like one.
Write it so a real person knows: “Yes, this is what I need.”
