Terms for using Close Captions...

I have a music channel where I let YouTubers use my free music.
So all my videos are of my music and they are just instrumentals mainly.
I've heard that close captions help a lot in terms of SEO.
Would I be breaking any terms of use if I were to put information about how to credit me when using my music, asking viewers to watch stay longer and watch more (they tend to leave from video to video until they find the right music which hurts my watch time), links for downloads.
Mind you there are no vocals so the close captions are most like descriptions etc.
 
To be honest there's no way that ''asking viewers to watch stay longer and watch more'' is ever going to work to be honest there's nothing wrong with saying that people need to credit you but asking people to keep watching wont help. also I thought closed captions were basically subtites? if thats the case just include the info on crediting you in the description. I never have closed captions on or if they are turned on for some reason I immediately turn them off so I would say using them is kind of a waste of time plus you aren't using them for what you should be so it probably breaks the terms.
 
Google will always penalize people who try to game the system. On purpose or not, they will not respond well to closed captions being anything but what they are supposed to be. Google's algorithms used the closed captions to gain a lot of data about the video. If Google hears, music, and reads text... I'm not sure what will happen but I can be sure I wouldn't try it. Youd be far better off putting in lyrics.

Add information such as adding credit to cards or annotations, what they are intended to be used for.
