  • YouTube Dominance: YouTube is the second-largest search engine behind Google, and it’s owned by Google, further amplifying video’s reach.

Content Marketing: The Authority Builder

  • SEO Foundation: Websites with blogs have 434% more indexed pages. (TechClient) This means more opportunities to rank on Google.

The Smart Strategy: Integrate Both

The most effective marketing uses a strategic mix:

  • Boost SEO with Video: Optimize videos with keywords and embed them in articles for greater visibility.
  • Customer Journey Focus: Use video for top-of-funnel attention, and content to guide prospects further down.
