In ninety days my site is two and three on page one with the keyword phrase video production big rapids
From April one to July one I did a 90 day website-blog-SEO challenge on my dwvideo site. According to one of my clients and friends, Dr. Harpreet Singh references Simon Sinek’s Start with the Why of the Problem. ‘Don’t tell someone what to do – tell them how to do it’ – that is my goal. The purpose of my challenge was two fold: One is the share the data with you as I learned more and two, for us to feed the Google beast targeted keywords so our SEO grows.
What is the Google beast you ask? The Google beast thrives on content. It graves it, wants it, cannot live with it. So, on your website you need to be Google friendly and feed the content beast. For my challenge the focus was on feeding the beast through my Blog. One blog post a day for ninety days. BTW: Larry and I are still reviewing the data from the ninety days. From the data we will have the good, bad and ugly. I promise, this info will be posted as soon as we can.
Why did I start this challenge? It all began when we changed our website. We have a new look, feel and direction for the new site. The problem at first, not a huge problem, was my old site was ranked and I did not want it showing up anymore.
Now back to the results of the challenge. For one result (and there will be more) lets look at the phrase – video production big rapids. We are listed two and three. the second result is from one of my blogs. The third result is from my landing page. More on landing pages later.
The 90 day website-blog-SEO challenge is just the start. Remember when mentioned before the Google beast thrives on content. Another tip, it is always hungry. This is what you have to continue to feed with content often.
Was curious that if the dwvideo.com.php56-26.ord1-1.websitetestlink.com site was ranked for the keywords I wondered, “how were my images ranked?” The images below are from page one, beginning from the top of the page.
Our images from the same video production big rapids ranked well on the first page.

Building trust in business is like building trust in life. We trust in God, we trust in our spouse. We also know our customers need to trust in us. Your goal as a business or organizational leader is to provide opportunities to build trust. How do we do this? First and foremost, provide the best product and service that you can. Second, toot your own horn. Open the gates and share your story with your customers and prospects.
Video is a great tool in your toolbox for building trust in business
DW Video provides a great opportunity to build trust in business with our Buy Local Video Profiles. Build trust in business with a series of short video profiles highlighting the key personnel in your businesses. From the owner, CEO, marketing people, foreman to your sales and service staff.
What is trust in business? It is about building relationships. Building a level of confident. Trust is a bi-lateral relationship—one trusts, and the other is the trusted. Like our relationship with God, his word states he will take care of us, we must trust in him.
Buy Local Video Profiles build trust trough content. Create meaningful content about your product and services. Tell your story in a way that differentiate you from your competitors. Be real – no hype is key to building trust in business.
In a video we produced for the Wheatlake Cancer and Wellness Center I had Susan provide the opening for the video. A cancer survivor herself, and the person behind the brand her on-camera open provides trust on business.

Customer testimonial videos build relationships about your products and the people who use them.

The approach is real, not an actor, he shares his experience firsthand.

You know those old cassette tapes and reel to reels you have stored in a box in the closet or in the attic.
