Using Videos to Rank For Competitive Search Phrases

Optimizing your videos for search can have a huge impact on the number of visitors to your website. When videos appear on the first page of the search engines, they are more eye catching and have a much higher click through rate than the regular plain text options on the same page.  There many different factors that can affect well how a video ranks, and we can help you capture more first-page real estate and drive traffic through effective optimization techniques.

Everything from the media platform (You Tube, Vimeo, Viddler etc ) that hosts your video to the context or intent of the keywords can affect how you rank, both on the video channel and in Google’s universal search results. SCWMT can work with you to figure out which keywords will be the most effective to target and then start optimizing these videos where they will be seen.
