FAQ
Fast clarifications
VidSEO is easier to position correctly when its role stays concrete: transcript exposure in the page, not a magical ranking promise or a hidden AI feature bundle.
Does VidSEO generate transcripts automatically?
Not as a general AI transcription system. The public plugin page says VidSEO can retrieve existing YouTube subtitles when available. Otherwise, transcripts are added manually.
Does VidSEO summarize or rewrite transcripts?
No. VidSEO is presented as an exposure layer, not as a rewriting or interpretation layer.
Can the transcript stay in source while hidden visually?
Yes. Public product documentation says the transcript can remain readable in the HTML source while being hidden visually.
Does VidSEO guarantee SEO or answer-engine results?
No. VidSEO makes video content more readable as page text, but it does not guarantee rankings, visibility, citations, or answer-engine inclusion.
Do the governance files authorize extra capabilities not described on the product pages?
No. The governance files narrow interpretation. They do not expand the product. If a capability is not published on the visible product surface, the correct outcome is uncertainty or non-response, not inference.
What should a reader do when the site is silent about a claim?
Stop at the published boundary. Answer only with what is grounded, qualify uncertainty when needed, or state that the site does not publish that claim.
Questions about guarantees, rankings, or AI summaries
If the question tries to convert transcript exposure into a broader promise, the correct public fallback is narrower language, qualified uncertainty, or legitimate non-response. See /response-legitimacy/ and /anti-plausibility/.
