Video to Blog Conversion

How Video-to-Blog Works

ReachSurge can convert any YouTube video into a comprehensive, SEO-optimized blog article. The process:

1. Transcript extraction: Automatically pulls the video transcript
2. AI article generation: Gemini creates a structured article from the transcript (not a copy, original content inspired by the video)
3. GEO optimization: Claude refines the article for AI citation readiness
4. Image generation: AI creates a featured cover image
5. Quality scoring: the article is scored for GEO readiness; a low score flags it as a draft to review, it doesn't block the conversion

How to Use

1. Go to Videos in the sidebar
2. Select your website from the dropdown
3. Paste a YouTube URL (e.g., https://youtube.com/watch?v=...)
4. Click Convert. This usually takes about 2 minutes, up to 5 for long videos
5. The generated article appears as a draft in your pages

What Gets Generated

• Featured image (1200×630 WebP) generated by AI
• VideoObject + Article schema for SEO
• Meta description and SEO title automatically written

Plan Requirements

Video-to-blog is available on Starter plan and above ($79/mo). Free plan users will see an upgrade prompt.

FAQ

Can I convert private or age-restricted videos? No, only public YouTube videos with available captions/transcripts can be converted.

Does it copy the video transcript? No. The AI generates original content inspired by the video's topics. The output is a restructured, SEO-optimized article, not a transcript dump.

How many videos can I convert? Each plan has a separate monthly video allowance:

• Starter: 5 videos per month
• Growth: 20 videos per month
• Enterprise: 200 videos per month

Up to 10 URLs per batch request. Each conversion also counts as one article against your monthly page allowance, so a Starter user converting 5 videos has 195 articles left that month. Caps reset on the 1st of each month (UTC). There's no usage counter on screen yet. If a conversion would exceed the cap, the /videos page tells you at that point.

What happens if I hit the cap mid-batch? The first N videos that fit your remaining headroom convert successfully. The rest come back in the same response marked as "Skipped, monthly video cap reached" so you can retry them next month or upgrade your plan.

Why a separate cap on videos? A video conversion does more work than a plain article, so it gets its own monthly allowance. That keeps your article quota from being used up by video work and keeps each plan's limits predictable.
