Using YouTube Will Help You Get Found On Google
Have you noticed that videos are appearing more often in Google’s search results? Google considers video to be as important as text-only pages, and YouTube is the 2nd most visited site after Google, plus, Google owns YouTube.
By incorporating YouTube as part of your marketing strategy for your property, you’re also increasing the influence of your website. The more influence your website has in Google’s eyes, the higher your page rankings.
The first thing you need to know about using YouTube is that your videos must have a unique focus and be directly related to your property.
