Google monitors search trends. If a sequel is announced for a 2018 film, the original film’s "popular videos" will spike. Google will re-index behind-the-scenes footage from the DVD extras that were previously buried on page 5.

Actionable Insight: To keep your filmography relevant, create "retrospective" content exactly 3 years after your original popular video.

You cannot discuss Google’s filmography without mentioning its acquisition of YouTube in 2006. While Google doesn't "create" the content on YouTube, the platform is the world's largest video archive.

Google’s role has shifted to that of a curator and distributor. Through initiatives like YouTube Originals (which has since pivoted) and partnerships with creators, Google effectively controls the distribution of the world's largest independent film library.

Google's journey into filmography can be traced back to its acquisition of YouTube in 2006. This move marked a significant step into the world of video content, transforming Google from a text-based search engine into a major player in the digital video market. Today, YouTube, under the Google umbrella, hosts millions of videos, offering something for every taste.
