Today on Video Marketing Madness, Why You Need YouTube Videos on Your Website. Ray and Steve recap a Search Engine Land article. Today’s episode is made possible by Movo! Get great microphones, stands, and lights for your videos at https://raysuggests.com/movo Here’s an outline of that article: Outline: The Future of SEO Content is Video – Here’s Why 1. Introduction Overview: Video content with search-optimized transcripts leads to better conversions and engagement. Common problem: SEO content drives traffic but not conversions. Solution: A video-first strategy that aligns with a real conversion funnel and nurtures leads. 2. Why ‘Top of Funnel’ Thinking Fails Without a Conversion Strategy The issue with SEO-driven content marketing: Traffic doesn’t equal conversions. The misconception of “top of funnel” content when there is no actual funnel. Solutions: Align content with a real funnel. Use email or social media for lead nurturing. Adopt “organic social media retargeting” to reconnect with visitors without relying on paid ads. 3. Why a Video-First SEO-Driven Content Marketing Strategy is Better Benefits of Video vs. Blogs: Less time required from subject matter experts (SMEs). Better engagement and trust-building. Reduced skimming – videos deliver the full message. Preference for video over text by many audiences. Easier repurposing across multiple platforms. 4. Video Requires Less Time for SMEs Example: SMEs (e.g., doctors) can record multiple videos in a one-hour session. Video reviews are less taxing than blog reviews. Improved workflows and faster content production. 5. Potential to Earn Subscribers and Build Social Media Presence Differences in engagement: Blog visitors leave with little chance of reconnecting. Videos on platforms like YouTube increase the likelihood of subscribers and repeat engagement. Opportunity to appear on “For You” pages and build a funnel through social media. 6. Visitors Receive More of Your Message Through Video Observation: Blog readers skim; video viewers engage more deeply. Evidence: Increased time on page and engagement. Comparison of behavior between YouTube traffic and organic search visitors. Real-world customer feedback: Examples of customer trust and conversions after watching videos. 7. Videos Can Be More Easily Repurposed Than Blogs Content repurposing: Long-form videos can be broken into short-form content for platforms like LinkedIn or Instagram. Challenges: Repurposing requires proper tailoring to each platform. Mistakes can hurt social media efforts and audience engagement. 8. Conclusion Video-first content marketing solves the traffic-to-conversion gap. It improves efficiency, builds trust, engages audiences, and strengthens social media presence. With the right strategy, video content can outperform traditional blogs and provide lasting results.…

Today on Video Marketing Madness –How YouTube Helps Online Marketing. Steve has a case study on improving Google rankings using YouTube as part of the mix. Steve’s trains YouTube channel is 12 years old, and he noticed Youtube was suggesting videos from folks he subscribed to way back way. All had given up on their channel years ago, and some of them were big names. It appears YouTube is not in the marketing mix. Steve found using YouTube videos as part of the mix pushed up Google Business Profiles(GBP) and website blog posts. A lawn care service went from #23 to #8, and website blog posts rank higher when a video is embedded. Steve starts by opening up a channel under the Google account with the client’s Google Business Profile. He phone verifies and optimizes it. Copy for the 1000-word blog and the 250-word GBP posts match the requirements for the new Google “Helpful Content” algorithm. The video is the same title as the post and the name of the business and the city and state. The copy for the 60-second video comes from the Google Business Profile post. The description in the video includes the video title, phone number, the Google Maps URL, website URL, and a citation. Also included is the GBP post copy, links to 5-star reviews, and driving directions to all the communities surrounding the client’s location. After that, he posts the copy to the GBP and adds the YouYube URL. He also uploads the video to the post and shares it on social media. Then Steve adds the GPB post URL to the video description. He does this weekly with fresh copy and topics Today’s episode is made possible by Movo!

Today on Video Marketing Madness –The Importance of Online Reviews. Ray tells us how to get online reviews and why. Google, Facebook, and Yelp are the top three. Remember to ask for a video review and you can post that on all your social media, including your Google Business Profile. You need to get online reviews because folks will gravitate to businesses with lots of 5-star reviews, and they need to be recent as well. Also, it’s a ranking factor with Google Business Profiles. Start by having good customer service and then ask for reviews. With his escape room business, Ray hands out cards with a code that takes folks to his Google Business Profile. He incentivizes employees by giving them $5 for every review that mentions their name. Pay attention to Facebook and Yelp. Ray is not crazy about Yelp, but iPhones and Alexa default to it, so you have to have it. The reason Ray doesn’t like it is you get more bad reviews and not as many 5-star reviews if you don’t run ads with them. Today’s episode is made possible by Movo!
