Video is a neglected method way of boosting your business online. Here are some good reasons to use video.
- By placing a short YouTube video on your website, you create more engaging content, meaning people stay longer on your website and are more likely to make contact with you.
- YouTube video can also provide a ‘live’ backlink to your company website – so they can click to visit your site – and Google will list this link in search results.
- Hosting the video on YouTube will help with your Google Page Ranking when people search for your products or services. Google owns YouTube and is very quick to list video in search results.
- ‘Video’ can be simply still photographs, animated to create interest or a combination of video footage with stills. You don’t need a full movie production.
- For a relatively small outlay, you’ll have a lasting gateway to your business website.
Video SEO is very important. I optimise YouTube video for search results with Title and Tags and a backlink to your website. It’s amazing how few companies do this, despite paying for a product video..
