What Is Social Video Marketing?

Social Video Marketing is the best way to build your brand presence on the web.

The combination of low cost video production techniques, video SEO, and online video distribution helps you create a compelling, and engaging experience that helps your customers find you and keeps them coming back for more.

Your customers are looking for video. With over 100 million viewers, YouTube is currently the second most searched site on the web.

By blending video with the right search terms we can help you get in front of your customers and get ahead of the competition. In fact, search terms associated with video are 50 times more likely to rank on the front page of Google than other terms.

Social Video Distribution

Online video distribution is where you will get the most power out of your video presence online.

Like the old saw goes, you don’t have to be faster than the bear to reach your customers, you just have to beat the competition. By leveraging blended search with video, you have the ability to rank higher than your competitors with multiple terms.

To begin, we’ll work with you to identify the key terms that are the most important to your customers – the people who are looking for your products. This will help you target the people that are most likely to be interested in what you can provide for them.

Some of the channels that are available to you for online distribution are
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- Blip.tv
- And hundreds of others
