Does Google Prefer Video Over Image?

I was reading a mail from SEO processor, and it certainly gives answer affirmatively.

It also provides a Hangout recording which will be very useful for all of us,

with John Muller, Google expert.

We all know that video is great for sharing content for various reasons like Video ads has click through rate of 1.84%, the highest clicked through rate of all digital ad formats.

If you are using a landing page to sell your products or service, using a video format can clearly highlight and showcase some functional uses.

Some companies even offer a virtual tour of their work space using video, it makes information more memorable, leaving a greater impression on your prospects.

And as we always taught here at WA by Jay, to embed a video in content page.

  • Try creating a couple of videos to go with your blog posts.
  • It will be less time-consuming for visitors to absorb information
  • A video is also much more shareable than a long blog post.
  • It is also important to note that a lot of how to queries will trigger video results, so start making those videos where a lot of video demos of how to questions are valid.

And as Jay always suggest, hosting your videos on YouTube then embed them on your own website is the perfect way to go since Google also owns You Tube.

Here is a Hangout Video.

John starts talking about it at the 39:27 mark.

Thank you Shubhaangi,

Very interesting. Next time I do a video I will make it a video landing page or have the video high up on the page as John Muller recommends..

Glad you found it useful Brad:)

Thanks for sharing and I like video for the reasons you write about in your post as well as the fact that it is easier to do a quick video on how to do something compared to producing a graphic on it

Video thumbnails are also an absolute must as well to stand out from the crowd
