One Key Reason You Should Be Including Video in Your Marketing Mix
A Forrester study found that video has an 11,000-to-1 chance of making it onto the first page of Google search results. Text, by comparison, has about a 500,000-to-1 chance of appearing on the first page of results. Here's what it means: on the keywords for which Google offers video results, any given video stands about a 50 times better chance of appearing on the first page of results than any given text page that Google has indexed. Seriously: 50 times. Those are attractive odds, right? If you're not using video in your content marketing, now might be a good time to consider it. Luckily for you, MarketingProfs is here to help: This week, YouTube for Business author Michael Miller returns to the MarketingProfs webinar stage to update you with the latest marketing-oriented features of YouTube, the world's largest video-sharing community.
