Using a personal YouTube Channel to tell and share your stories of Michigan Businesses, Organizations and Non-Profits. According to YouTube “Playlists should be an essential part of your channel strategy. Not only do they increase watch-time, they create another asset that will appear in search results and in Suggested Videos. You can create playlists using your own videos, other videos, or a combination of both.”
Telling and sharing your businesses story needs to take a series of videos, utilizing playlists, proper keywords… it takes a plan. A plan that takes time to produce, embed and track.

Create a YouTube Channel, Playlists and work local video SEO to promote your business.
Video SEO is work in progress. There are many factors that go into ranking. Organic SEO (search engine optimization) is the phrase used to describe processes to obtain a natural placement on organic search engine results pages according to WeboPedia. Meaning not having to pay for ads on Google, Facebook or YouTube. Depending on your keyword and the competition for those keywords, the geographic area you are targeting will depend on how long and IF/When your video ranks.
From the Google search our video was on page two within 24 hours. NOTE: This was from the video section of the search not the main search. More work needs to be done to move that ranking. Remember in the beginning of this article when I mentioned it was work in process. Now the work begins.
