Video SEO

When it comes to Video SEO, everyone has a different opinion on the best and fastest route to reach and remain on the first page of Google. There are infinite ways to climb the SEO mountain, but let’s look at how marketing videos impact SEO.

What Businesses Need to Know for Marketing Videos

You may have heard that adding video to your website and social media sites will help improve your rankings, but adding any old video won’t do. Quality and traffic matter. Also, you have to optimize your videos in order to drive traffic to your website and increase sales. Consider these strategic elements when incorporating videos into your marketing plan:

• Hire professionals to create several videos with high production values and solid content.
• Determine where you will embed each video or consider rotating them every few months. New content is important for good SEO. So is variety. Using the same video on every site is an SEO no no. Plus, your customers will find it boring and repetitive.
• Remember, different search engines have different algorithms. Google search and YouTube search are not identical.It’s a good idea to take a course or read about best practices for each search engine. Google offers a free Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide and YouTube has a great video on its SEO practices.

Videos Must Add Value and Solve Problems If You Want Impact

To get videos to rank well, businesses must provide good content that solves problems and provides relevant information.
