New York Website Development Firm Says Video Can be Used for Better SEO

Reputable Manhattan website design and website development firm says that video can be used as part of a website’s search engine optimization strategy.

According to Peter Crisafi, Vice President of dzine it, Inc., a New York website design firm that specializes in the production and implementation of video for online marketing, video content is not only very compelling, but it can be used as a tool in a business’s search engine optimization or online marketing plan.

“The use of video should be considered as an option in every SEO campaign,” says Crisafi. “Although video content is not scanned by search engines, the attraction that users have to video and its off-page possibilities can have a positive effect on a website’s reputation and bring in quality traffic.”

For many business owners, the idea of using video to promote their website can be daunting and, as a result, videos are still widely underused. However, Crisafi says that anyone can affordably make videos these days, and if done right, the videos can really improve website traffic.

“Like any content, a video should be as engaging as possible and should be of a high enough quality that it will encourage users to take an interest in what you have to offer,” says Crisafi. “When published, it is important to remember that the goal of the business is to market the business so be mindful of SEO techniques.”

While search engines cannot read the content of the video, Crisafi says that website owners can inform search engine spiders using a strong caption or a textual transcript of the video.

“Videos can give a business an incredible marketing opportunity,” says Crisafi. “When a business posts it’s videos to hosting sites, outside of the business’s main website, it is exposed to a larger audience, driving traffic back to the business’s website.”
