Producing Video Testimonials for GRIN… “these are affordable”, states DW Video Owner Duane Weed.

At DW Video we love producing video testimonials and promoting Michigan. We are working with the Grand Rapids Inventors Network promoting the organization and its members. “Developing a product is a marathon” states John a member of the Grand Rapids Inventors Network. John a Michigan inventor (Johnny Ball) believes you have to believe in your product 100 percent and not give up. The networking possibilities are a great benefit of the organization.

Our approach when producing video testimonials is to keep it real. These do not have to be expensive and in the case for how we produced the videos for GRIN, the production is hundreds of dollars… not thousands. Here is the video we produced:

Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords

by dwvideo | Jul 16, 2014 | blog

Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords is part of our next 30 day challenge.

The ongoing need to feed the beast I call the Google Monster with Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords. As mentioned earlier the results of my 90 Day Blog/SEO challenge was successful. It showed my site beginning to reach key market areas. For what my business does we could be hired and work anywhere. At times we travel. Realistically my business shines in Michigan. In general terms a number of communities within that area.

For the next 30 days or so my new challenge is building Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords. Consider using location-based searches if your main market is in one region. When searching for a business in your area, search engine users will usually include their location in the search. Otherwise it gives you results from other states, not helpful if you need a roofer now. So, “home roofing contractor” becomes “home roofing contractor in Howard City Michigan. The more detail you put in your search, the better your results if finding what you need.

So that is what I am doing with each major keyword and location in my market area. NOTE: Been told by SEO programmers that Google frowns on using the same content on multiple pages with minor changes. Going back to our ‘home roofing contractor’ we would not place the same info on: ‘home roofing contractor big rapids’ – ‘home roofing contractor reed city’ and ‘home roofing contractor cadillac’ for example. The Google beast loves content, new and fresh content. This is where your time will be spent. Hours and hours working your Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords. Plus do not forget you still need to be blogging as well. Feed the BEAST.

As we journey through the wonderful world of SEO remember there are numerous ways to work our site organically. Please do not get discouraged. This is a marathon. A never-ending marathon. This 30 day challenge of building Landing Pages by Location Based Keywords is only one technique we decided on based on our 90 day analytic report. When will I know if this is a good use of time… 30 – 90 days from now.

My goal is to help you. You first have to begin with a website that has a great foundation. Then and only then can we move forward. This journey is one I am happy to share with you. Learn from my success and failures. Need help on your site? Contact me at 231-937-5420. We can design and build your site, your foundation and then help you along the path. Thank you!

This innovative lure holder suspends your lures by using powerful magnets that are strategically placed to maximize utility and provide a strong lure holding platform. The magnetic lure attachment is both automatic and effortless, while providing a safe single lure release to prevent a hook injury.”

When ask what it took to get the Gear Grabbar product to reality Joe Finkler, President of GRIN states, “The owners of Gear Grabbar had been coming to the Grand Rapids Inventors Network meetings.

VIDEO MEANS BUSINESS!

Mount Pleasant Video Profile

by dwvideo | May 2, 2014 | blog

Camilles on the River – scene from the finished video

While shooting a TV Commercial for KJM Production’s client, Camille’s on the River, we had owner Jim Holt0n do a Buy Local Video Profile. This Mount Pleasant Video Profile offers a personal touch by the owner. It is not always easy, however you are the best one to tell your story. Watch the video below.

“You never want to assume and just come in and shoot a TV Commercial or Buy Local Video Profile for a person’s business,” comments Duane. “Kathy set the shoot up with Jim to have a select group of his customers come in, just for the production. This works great since we had control over each scene.”

For example having the wait staff bringing out their food. We did this three or four times – which meant handing the customer their food… and then taking it away. Do not worry – once we were done, the customers were treated to an excellent meal. It is all about communication and planning.

Some behind the scenes images from our Mount Pleasant video shoot.
