Video is here and it’s not going anywhere! How do we know? Well, we’re not mind readers, but the data we analyze all month tells us people love watching videos and creates a better experience for those visiting a website. Think about all the current social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, YouTube – more and more people are using these networks to search for information, get the latest news, communicate with friends, and the list goes on. Video is a big part of that experience. For example, people are increasingly going to YouTube to research videos such as “how to” do something. Content in video format is growing more valuable every day.

Google gives more “points” to sites using rich media – such as photos and videos. Why?

In today’s world, people are increasingly using mobile to search online. Users put a high value on videos, and as a result, those sites using a video strategy, are viewed by Google as “valuable and relevant” sites. The effect? Better Google rankings!
