Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is no longer a budding business strategy. In a short period of time, organizations and companies alike adapted their traditional marketing strategies to include SEO driving practices. The overall goal of SEO is to appeal, track, and ultimately cultivate the wants and needs of the ever-present online consumer. Business objectives now consider the value of following, rather than leading, the demand of specific goods and services. Marketing teams rely on SEO driving practices to appeal to the existing interests of their clientele and convert others into believing in the brand. Online videos in particular are emerging as the most effective tool for implementing solid SEO. Companies with online videos can quickly and effectively optimize their web presence with professional video content. Here are some helpful facts and suggestions for optimizing SEO.

Youtube, the number 2 search engine on the web, continues to make creating and leveraging SEO driving content accessible for all users. In the past, Google algorithms relied on tags, descriptions, and video titles to track and rank popularity. Though this is still very much the case, SEO viewers and consumers also drive what makes topics popular. Do your research. Find out which companies are successfully marketing and trending online.

When planning out what to include in a video write-up consider using words that will draw in a specific target audience in addition to drive SEO. Consider the following information. What are you sharing with your audience that is unique? Who is your audience? Is this content timely? How many people are you sharing your video content? Where are people sharing and viewing? Are you engaging with your audience? What type of following do you have on existing Youtube and media channels? What are common words, questions, and side topics that people could also relate to your brand or product?

Many people believe that effective SEO tagging is centered on the words tagged in the write-up rather than the content itself. This is a common misconception, albeit the wording may initially attract viewers and search engines, the content and quality re-affirms the competency of your business. Luring in audiences with misleading tag words and phrases will not foster brand loyalty. Give your audience a reason to come back for more. Be seen as the authority in your field. Whether you’re selling a service or product, make sure your content is valuable and innovative.

Additionally as important, frequently update your content. Google indexes the relevancy of content based on dates published in real time. There is a reason why blog sites and news outlets are the most frequently indexed sites on the first page of Google. Remember to upload your videos in a timely manner. Try to shoot for one video a week, and then gradually increase to two or three. I know this sounds crazy but you’ll start to see results in a matter of weeks!
