Your Spa Needs to be on YouTube
March 16th, 2011 • Posted by Spa Kat • Permalink
Here are a few YouTube statistics from TopRank, an online marketing consulting agency:
- YouTube is the #1 online video site with 2 billion streams per day.
- 70% of all online video viewing happens on YouTube.
- 52% of people took action as a result of watching video online.
- 77% of Americans online watched a video last month.
- Online video is the fastest growing medium in history.
You can use video to improve the search results for your spa website.
Imagine you have a fantastic day spa in Atlanta. It will be difficult to rank well for the keywords “Atlanta day spa” because there are 1,420,000 results competing for that search. The Google search result for "Atlanta Day Spa" as of today are:
But, the video results for the same keywords are 14 times less competitive!
Adding a spa video to YouTube, with the tags, “Atlanta day spa,” "your spa name" and "deep tissue massage", demonstrating a sports massage or popular facial you offer will give you an SEO advantage and increase the opportunity to rank higher for very competitive keywords or phrases. This also gives you another way to own your brand online. YouTube is the preferred way to host the video from an SEO point of view because it is a is a high authority site, and therefore ranks well.
SpaBoom has made it easier than ever for spas to use video on their website. We have created a new dynamic website theme that incorporates video right from the start. It used to be too costly to get a professional video to represent your brand, but now you can have a professional video as part of the creation of your dynamic website. Because YouTube is owned by Google, it means that your video will be indexed by Google and your website has an advantage in SEO over time.
