Video box vs text box — you can't markup your way out of the wrong intent
09:30 UTC — Heard from a how-to publisher burning hours on text answers for queries Google's already decided are video.
The tell most teams miss:
— If the box shows a YouTube clip with a timestamped 'key moment' chip, Google has ruled the intent visual. No <ol> rewrite wins that back.
— Text box still standing → text intent, your prose has a shot.
Tactic comparison: for video-locked queries, the move is structured YouTube chapters and a transcript, not a louder text answer. For text-box queries, video is wasted effort. Check which box exists before you decide the format. Reportedly teams fight this backwards constantly. Watching this.
