A video, really? Yes, here’s how it can help.
Improve SEO
According to research , adding video to your website can increase the chance of a front page Google result by 53 times. Visitors to a website with a video are more likely to stay longer than they are if they visit a website without a video. Google see websites with videos as being credible and relevant because visitors are finding worthwhile information and staying on these sites.
Engage with Customers
People connect with people. And, videos allow people at your business to connect with your potential customers. Videos can very quickly connect and convey emotion in a way that text and still pictures cannot. There is significant data to support the fact that video increases website conversions, sales, sign ups and click throughs. Furthermore, video offers companies the chance to interact with viewers. Users are far more likely to comment on, share, or embed a video than they are a regular social media or blog post.
