FAQ
Is BroadcastEvent enough to rank a livestream?
No. Structured data helps search engines understand the page, but ranking still depends on content quality, crawlability, useful metadata, links and demand.
Should every replay have clips?
The strongest replays should. Clips give long sessions more precise landing pages and make social distribution easier.
Where should the sponsor CTA live?
Near the event value: on the watch page, replay recap, clip paths and sponsor brief, not hidden behind a generic pricing page.
