Millions of people visiting YouTube and other similar sites show that people have embraced the presence of videos online. And not only do people enjoy watching videos online, they also love making them as more and more bloggers have made the shift from the traditional blogging to video blogging. As a webmaster, you should learn how to take advantage of this to make your brand more visible to potential customers.
The great thing about videos is that they are more personal than just writing stuff. Plain written words are great but videos allow you to “personally” tell people about your site and what they can get from it. One way you can use videos on your site to your advantage is to create an engaging video that would capture the attention of people visiting your site. This way, once you have captured their attention, you can then easily put your sales pitch in. This would be doubly effective if you have people already finding your site on search engine result pages.
On the other hand, videos cannot be read by search engine bots. Or more specifically, search engine bots cannot understand what is in the video, they just know that there is a video on the webpage. This means that if you have a website where you have thousands of videos where you talk about your products and how they would help your customer but do not have other content in writing, the search engine bots would not be able to tell what your site is all about thus making you rank poorly on search engine results.
This means that if you are going to use video as a tool to market your online brand, you have to take certain steps so that search engine bots would have an idea what is in your videos. This could be done through putting in words what you are saying on the video. Of course, if it is very long, you can just pick important points which should include the keyword you are targeting to rank for.
If you have no idea how to create videos that would captivate your audience, it would be best to work with a SEO Camarillo company if you live in the area. One of the benefits of working with a group in your locality is that you can easily talk to them about the site and its ranking even if you are not connected to the World Wide Web since all you have to do is to pay them a visit.
