According to a recent study, businesses can earn quality local traffic by creating and distributing, online, a video featuring their company. In fact, the study showed that businesses were thirty percent times more likely to garner local target traffic through video search engine optimization.

This fairly new technology allows website owners to associate a video about their product or service with relevant keywords and then distribute it online. The result, he says, is increased attention from Google and other major search engine which, in turn, should translate into better search engine placement for the featured business.

Video search engine optimization will result in a higher search engine ranking, more targeted traffic, particularly local traffic, and increased sales. Businesses that not only get their videos out there through free video websites such a YouTube, but post videos on their websites, see significant increases in interest among users.

In fact, video is one of the most popular components of a website these days and users are more likely to click on information videos before clicking on photos or reading through content.
